I'm no AutoLavish, but I think it came out pretty good. The car wasn't really cared for before I owned it so the paint definitely has some blemishes.
I first started by powerwashing the wheels. The wheels were really grimey inside, so this made them look much better.

After I powerwashed the wheels, I washed the car then claybar'd it.

Then it got washed again, and put in the garage for the polishing:

I used:
Cyclo polisher
Danase Swirl Abolisher I (I really needed all 3 swirl abolishers [I, II, III], the paint had too many scratches for just Swirl Abolisher I)
Danase Wet Glaze
Danase Classic Wax
5 hours later, here's what it looks like:
By the way, the front bumper had been repaired and repainted before I owned the car, so the paint still looks like ass on the front bumper and I also hit a broken branch last winter and cracked it...a new bumper is in order...
