2014 Jeep Cherokee SRT. Really dirty, had bugs on the front end so I know it had been at least a couple months since it was washed. On the plus side, not washing it meant no one was washing it incorrectly and swirling it up.
ONR wash
Optimum Clay Towel
Optimum Primer Polish using a yellow Rupes foam polishing pad and Rupes 21 DA
ONR wipedown
Opti-Coat Pro on the paint and wheels
Optimum Glass Coating on the windshield
Armor All on tires/wheel wells

2012 Audi A7, owner takes amazing care of it, even washes it before I wash it again so I can spend more time polishing the paint rather than washing weeks of caked on gunk off it. Back bumper had been repainted, just some light marring here and there in that general area.
ONR wash
Optimum Hyper Compound using a Meguiars low profile foam cutting pad and Rupes DA to spot correct
Optimum Hyper Polish using an Optimum orange foam waffle cutting pad and Rupes (whole car)
Optimum Opti-Seal
Armor All on fenderwells (owner prefers his on tire dressing)

2015 Range Rover. Recent purchase, owner wanted it proper protected with Opti-Coat Pro. Paint was in great shape, plastic pillars in horrible, horrible shape. Spent a good hour just on them, got them about 90% corrected-at that point the customer said she'd just have them vinyl wrapped in gloss black instead of clear. Since she had planned to wrap them anyway, she didn't want me to keep going on them. Didn't even bother with pictures of the pillars, never seen them that bad ever. Apparently its a real problem according to the owner, the forum has threads about how bad they are. Anyway, rest of it was a breeze. Didn't coat the wheels since the owner is having them dipped another color.

M100/Rupes Keramik Gloss, Optimum Hyper Polish, multiple different pads, et al on the pillars.

2015 Tesla Model S P85D. The bad boy of electric cars. 0-60 in the low 3 second range, 11 second quarter mile.
As expected with the blue, the paint had issues. Every blue one I've done has had problems but this one was by far the worst. Swirls, marring, scuffing pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately, the car showed up at night and the owner was so excited about the car, he went to pick it up then and really didn't look it over as well as he should have.
