I spent about 4.5 hours on Grandma's red Taurus today. This was my first time really using my new Porter Cable dual action polisher aside from trying it on a few panels on my car.. So it was a learning experience. I really could have used another 2 - 3 hours, but was pressed for time. Didn't have time to clay, and it could have really used it. Could have used more time w/ DACP as well.
Washed with Black Magic wash
DACP on a LC cutting pad on the horizontal surfaces
Pinnacle's new Swirl Remover on a LC polishing pad
Poorboy's EX-P on a CMA finishing pad
Meguiar's
Hot Rims used on hubcaps and tires
Hi-Temp Grape Tire dressing on tires
Stoner's Trim Shine in the wheel wells, side skirt thingies, mirror surround, and cowl
Orange Blast to clean engine, dressed w/ CD-2
Interior spot cleaned w/ mild laundry detergent / water mix and scrubbed w/ brush on PC
Dash cleaned with same mix, dressed w/ Zymol Protectant
Stoner's Invisible Glass on windows
Think that's all I used

I could have used some more time on the interior, but the little time I spent helped out quite a bit. There was some sort of white residue all over the dash, radio, and door panels. No idea what it was, maybe some of her makeup. But my little mixture mentioned above cleaned it right up.
Engine was pretty dusty..
But cleaned up nicely..
There were quite a bit of swirls on all the horizontal surfaces from the drive thru car washes...
