I did this for a close friend of mine. He chose my Premium package that is mostly an AIO polish but I chose to use some products I hadn't used before. The car has pretty much been neglected it's whole life so the paint was in bad shape. I chose to do a medium cut polish instead to help bring back the shine but it only resulted in about 70% correction.

The weather was pretty bad today, raining and overcast so I did most of my work inside with halogens. His wife worked on the interior so I basically focused on the exterior only.

Here's my process

Wheels and Tires:
Megs Wheel Brightener
Swissvax Brush
SM Arnold Inner Wheel Brushes
SM Arnold Tire Brush
Megs Super Degreaser on tires and wheel wells
Megs Hyper Dressing 2:1 on tires and wells
Megs Soft Wash Gel

Wash:
Megs Soft Wash Gel
Megs Microfiber Mitt
2 Bucket with Grit Guards
Megs Water Magnets
3M Window Cleaner

Clay:
ONR Clay Lube
Magna Sponge

Paint:
Poorboys SSR 2.5 on LC CCS Orange with PCXP
3M Cleaner Wax on Uber Blue with PCXP
Megs M135 Synthetic Spray
1000w Halogens
Brinkman Xenon

Interior:
Megs APC
SM Arnold Interior Brush
SM Arnold Carpet Brush
SM Arnold Upholstery Brush
Megs Gold Class Vinyl & Rubber
Megs Gold Class Leather Conditioner

As you can see the car had absolutely no protection

Tried out the Magna Sponge. Left a bunch of marring but aggressive enough to remove the contaminants fast
