The owner called me saying she was looking to have her car "detailed." When I consulted her about buffing and the need to remove swirl marks, she replied, "Can't wax take care of that?"
Unfortunately I was unable to do a correction on this car as she felt that she was not a "connoisseur" who needed it corrected. Fair enough as it is a lease and she just wanted it cleaned. Safe to say she was still very happy with the results.

All clean:
I went around the car and clayed various areas where needed. The car itself, since fairly new and garaged, did not to be entirely clayed.
She wanted me to particularly focus on the interior seats and door panels, where the light colored leather had become quite dirty looking.
See if you can see the difference:
