Question re trolley jacks / axle stands.

HI all,
Would like to add a nice Draper trolley jack and Draper axle stands to my growing tool collection - Draper, really nice tools and easy to find heavily discounted on the web.

Anyway, the main reason for this purchase will be to remove, clean and wax my S-Spokes every 3 months or so and also keep the wheel arches and underbody clean and wax-oiled where necessary.

Wondering how I should use a trolley jack with the Mini.
Do I use the same jacking points as with the supplied jack?
Where exactly should I place the axle stands - I will only be lifting one corner at a time, the axle stands are more for safety than anything.

Thanks, Geoff.
