Hey guys, well this car needed a decent amount of work, my process was as follows for the exterior
-Wash with NXT wash
-Clay with Pinnacle poly ultra clay (NXT quick detail used as lube)
-Optimum Compound Hood/Roof Orange pad PC set at 5500
-Optimum Polish via Orange pad, speed 6000 whole car, worked many panels for a decent amont of time
-Optimum polish via White pad whole car, quick passes, finishing mainly
-Poorboys EX/quick detail wipedown
-Wheels cleaned with mothers metal polish/tires NXT Hotshine
-NXT Glass cleaner to all windows/mirrors
-Poorboys Trim Restorer to exterior trim pieces
The interior was pretty bad to say the least, very dirty, lots of stains, I found myself using diluted simple green/Poorboys trim restorer more often than not, rugs were in ok shape, overall it was just dirty as you will see in the pictures
-Vacuum
-Poorboys Trim restorer on dash/door panels
-Leather cleaned/conditioned with poorboys leather stuff (worked awesome)
-Diluted simple green for tough spots on lower panels

Absolutely beautiful job! You really turned the interior around. The exterior is top notch also.
I envy the palm tree reflection shots.

That last shot shows how deep and wet you got the finish to look. Just beautiful!
Excellent interior work too.
