Good Combo for BMW green paint?

Still being relatively new to the professional detailing scene, I was wondering what a good combo would be for a green, almost teal BMW. While working as a valet last night a member of the club went out to the parking lot and saw the signs on my car and asked me to take a look and give him a quote. I told him $175 for a complete detail and he never even blinked. Anyway, I have an appointment to go to his office or home within the next 2 weeks. My question is, what combo will make this paint really pop? I was thinking about using Megs Hand Polish followed up with VM and then adding a layer of PB EX but I thought I'd ask the opinions of other experienced detailers as well. Thanks in advance. On a funny note, he doesn't want me to detail it at his office, rather he'd like for me to do it across the street in the mall parking lot so his fellow employees don't think of him as a snob. Go figure.

edit: Using the Hand Polish because if I'm doing it at his office I won't have a power hook up to use my PC.

Poorboys Pro Polish or SSR1, followed by EX. Have some SSR2.5 on hand in case you run into some scratches to polish out. Do Natural Look on the inside and BnB on the tires.
 
Meguiar's Hand Polish is a pure polish, similar to #7 but designed for clearcoat paints. I bet VM would get rid of a good deal of it with its cleaning properties.

I like EX-P on my teal car.
 
wow, that's actually the same model BMW that I'll be detailing. What did you use on the tires? Just curious.
 
Labster,

Don't be fooled................ Dave (Beemerboy) does great work. Therefore, anything he would use would work out great! :D

Seriously, the folks have given you some great ideas.............. I'll add another one.

First, like Perry said, I wouldn't use VM over #81 for the reasons he mentioned. To be honest, If durability isn't a big issue, I would go with the following on that color:

Polish with whatever abrasive polishes you want to get the paint as clean, and swirl free as possible. Poorboy's polishes will certainly get that done............ and done without a lot of hassle.

Give it a final polish with #81.

Top with Trade Secret.

Just my 2 cents.
