Hmmm, not sure of Redex as I've never heard of it, so can't help you there....
As for your XF, it has a self regenerating particulate filter, as long as you get it on the motorway above 40kph or so for about 15-20 minutes, it will automatically do a self regen of the particulate filter.
If you do mostly inner city driving, then you'll need to make sure you take it out on the motorway once or twice a week.

The only additive I use is for my MG Midget because the engine was made for leaded petrol and can suffer damage run on unleaded as the valve seats aren't hardened. I uswe Castrol Valvemaster Plus, which has a lead substitute, plus an octane booster. The Midget would have been run on 4-Star petrol in the 70 and 80s which was 97 RON, but Premium unleaded is no 95 RON. So far no problems at all.
Modern cars don't need regular additions of additives IMHO
