A few cars I did this summer (RX330, E55, X5 4.8IS, Altima 2.5)
Excuse the crappy photography skills...These were all quicky-jobs I did for cheap.
Washed w/ NXT, dried w/ California water blade + MF towels, claybar w/ Megs Mirror Glaze (mild), using either NXT QD or regular Meg's QD, spot polished scuffs/scratches w/ PB SSR2, layer of Klasse AIO.
Used PB Spray n Rinse on wheels and Meg's hot shine on the tires.
'02 Altima 2.5:
I actually used the red aggressive Meg's claybar on this car since the blue claybar literally would fall apart when I tried to use it. The paint literally felt like sandpaper before I claybar'd it, like there was a layer of deadskin on it or something!
This car is never garaged, and if I had to guess, has never been washed since it was purchased.
'05 Lexus RX330:
Cloudy day when I took the pics... the shine was a lot better in the sunlight.
'04 MB E55:
Wheels were a pain in the ass to clean... had to shift the car a few times just to clean the brake calipers. When I was pulling the car into the driveway, it was really hard to resist the urge to go for a joy ride.
'05 BMW X5 4.8is:
20" wheels that are 12" wide... not fun to clean... at least I was able to stick my whole arm inside them to scrub around.
