Just a few details This BMW 525i was done this past weekend along with the Mercedes that follow. Quick wash, decon, light swirl removal and sealant. The clear was fairly soft so the "all in one" product I used netted some impressive correction while protecting. "Optimum GPS". I'll spare you the steps/products so here are the pics.
50/50 shot:
These tips were in BAD shape. They weren't on the agenda to fully polish other than a cleaning with a brush, but I just couldn't stand them so I threw in a quick polishing of them for free:
2009 Mercedes CLS550
Received the same treatment as above, but the before pics weren't being picked up since there was so much metallic flake in the paint so only afters were taken. It was near perfect when done though.
E63 AMG Mercedes:
Quick wash, one step swirl removal and wax:
Questions/Comments welcome!

One more...
This is a Camaro that I have taken care of for the last 5 years or so. Very good friend of mine and one of the craziest dudes I have ever met but one of the nicest too.
This was a simple, wash, light correction (barely needed it but I hadn't seen the car in over a year in between builds, and then rebuilding), and wax.
Here is the beading action from the protection the car already had on it. It was stripped and then corrected.
Note: the car doesn't have any inner fender wells so the "gray" spots area you see is the factory spray in liner. We've already discussed spraying it with new 3m fender spray but that's for next time.
The lie detector test. Any detailer who doesn't show this to you...shouldn't be making claims.
My personal favorite wheels of all time. Fikse FM5's. The rears are 18x12 with 345's out back. MONSTER.
BTW the car made 1190rwhp 1016rwtq on 15lbs using striaght 93 pump gas earlier in the morning.

Last one for today I promise.
This was a follow up appointment for my buddies mother that I cleaned up not long ago. Corrected, IPA (car pro eraser) wipe down x 2, and Opti-Coat.
This stuff makes maintenance cleanings such a breeze and I can't get enough of this stuff. Simply amazing. Three days after cleaning it up, she text me to tell me how easy it was for her to wash the caked on dirt it has accumulated again and how happy she was with the choice she made to purchase the coating (she flips and remodels houses so it's her work truck).
Tires were filthy:
