I detailed my friend's Golf Variant IV today. Only a good wash, claying and waxing was done. Not polished this time.
The process and used products:
1) Pre-wash
- Korrek Lensitil BR spray detergent + powerwasher
2) Foam wash
- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam + PW
3) Hand wash
- Turtle Wax Big Orange + PW
4) Claying
- Zaino Z-18 Claybar
- Turtle Wax Big Orange sprayed as lubricant
- Powerwashed after
5) Waxing
- AutoGlym Super Resin Polish
- AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection
- Collinite 915
- Mother's Reflections Top Coat
6) Tires + black plastics
- AutoGlym Instant Tyre Dressing
- AutoGlym Bumper Care
Befores:

After Autofoam:
Then, after the handwash it was claying time:
AG SRP:
- I have a big 1 liter bottle of AG SRP, so it's easier to use a little pot when waxing.

After AG SRP and EGP:
- Maybe EGP was not needed because of following Collinite layer, but I just wanted to be comprehensive on this.
Collinite 915:
- It was my first time with Collinite, and I found it very easy to apply and polish!
Mother's Reflections Top Coat:
- Again, maybe not needed, but wanted to try it.

I know the car will be dirty again tomorrow, but since it's properly waxed now, so maybe it's a bit easier to keep clean. There was no any kind of wax left when I started.
All comments are welcome!

Awesome job! I think Silver is a sexy color if waxed / polished right! I always enjoy the shine on my Titanium Silver E60.
You did a great job on this car!

Looks nice and maybe it's just me but I'd be pissed if shortly after paying for a detail, I'd have to drive it out in bad weather/wet roads.
