Clean everything just like you would on any other car.

A good shampoo and water (preferably after a Pre wash or snow foam) and you're good to go. The matte black arches - just wash as normal and then seal them with a sealant. I used Gtechniq C1.5. They don't tend to mark and are much easier to clean than the chrome arches. The roof does mark easily so best to avoid touching as much as possible. Again shampoo and water, then a polish and again I sealed mine with Gtechniq C1.5 or C2v3. Will be protected for up to 8 months.

The wheels you would clean as normal but I would suggest trying these brushes to avoid scratching them.

Yes they are expensive but what price for scratch free wheels? The choice is yours.

Leather seats I clean fortnightly and protect every 3 months. I use Furniture Clinic and it works very well.

For the paintwork fully decontaminate, polish and then wax or seal to keep it protected.
Have you read the sticky in the Car Detailing section, you may find that helpful.
