Default Some noobie questions on cleaning the car.

I have my 05z now for a week. sadly i have no garage or a covered drive way.
the car sits on the driveway and hit by sunlight and rain and prob snow come winter.

first, i see alot of dead bugs in the radiator grill. can i just hose that out with water wth the hood up?

second, i see dirty stains on my front wheels, didnt hit n e water puddles, is this break dust? and the rotor seems rusty , is there a way to clean the rotor?

third, i see water spots on the top of the car, i guess from rain residue that baked in the sun, looks like welts and bird poop. whats the best way to clean these aside from a full blown car wash?

fourth, please, flame me if u must, but can someone teach me , or walk me through the process of cleaning and protecting the car? i love the car and i want to keep it looking and smelling good as long as i can.

i would like to clean the car as soon as possible, but i dont want to make any mistakes.

oh and with microfiber cloth , drying cloths, do u run it in the washer to clean it or do u hand clean them? and do u just use the normal cloth detergents?

lastly is there a spray that retains the new car smell?

thank u!
