I get on fine with a small trolley jack but would suggest you only take one wheel off at a time which stops and chance of putting one back in the wrong place. Certainly use an axle stand if you are going anywhere near underneath the car but you may find it easier to chock the crossmember with a wooden block.
Read advise on MWS website site about refitting wheels, too many people think they have to be tightened with long bars, they also sell wooden fitments to aid damage free removal, be careful to miss the wing when using the hammer !!!
I use a Halfords wheel cleaner they do 2 from memory, one is temptingly cheap but has a corrosive element the dearer one was about £15 and works well for me is non corrosive and a little goes a long way.
Good luck and think of the job as calming therapy !!
