Thanks stoic. Here's the list. Paint was in moderately bad condition. Not much surface contamination but LOTS of swirls and holograms. Had a local friend help me out who essentially did half the car. Still took about 15 or so hours. This detailing stuff is EXPENSIVE and certainly for the younger (i.e. less decrepit than myself) folk. My back still hurts.

Wash
Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo pre-wash with Foam Blaster cannon
CRSpotless
Ridgid 3000 PSI gas operated pressure washer
2 bucket method with grit guard
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss Car Wash
P21s Wheel Gel

Clay
Chemical Guys 209g clay bar
Chemical Guys Synthetic Detailer and ONR (mixed to QD strength)

Polish
50/50% IPA wipedown
Flex 3401
Big ol' halogen lamp
Menzerna SIP with an Orange Uber pad
Menzerna Super Finish with Green Uber
Post polish rinse with Meguiars Gold Class and Foam blaster

Sealant
2 coats of Menzerna Powerlock on Black Uber

Interior
Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean
Einszett Cockpit

.....phew. That's most of it.
