A friend of mine asked if I could detail his A4. I couldn't resist the temptation. 
So, I've spent most of today in his drive way and garage working on the car. It took me 6 hours to get it done and I found my biggest challenge in cleaning the rims and ... the windows. The later needed three applications of NXT Gen Glass Cleaner to become clean.
This is my process:
1) washing tires (Vers-Angle Tire Brush With Short Handle + NXT Generation Foam Tire Cleaner)
2) washing wheel wells (Extra)
3) washing rims (Ultra-Safe Wheel Spoke Brush + Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner)
4) washing the body (Vers-Angle Body Brush With Long Handle + NXT Generation Car Wash)
5) drying (Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel)
6) claying (Supreme Shine Microfiber + Quik Clay + Quik Detailer)
7) cleaning paint (Soft Foam Applicator Pad + Supreme Shine Microfiber + Deep Crystal Step 1 Paint Cleaner)
8) polishing (Soft Foam Applicator Pad + Supreme Shine Microfiber + Deep Crystal Step 2 Polish)
9) waxing stage 1 (Soft Foam Applicator Pad + Deep Crystal Step 3 Carnauba Wax) - applying wax
10) detailing tires ( Tyre Dressing Applicator Pad + Hot Shine Tire Spray Trigger) - two applications
11) detailing trim (microfiber towels + NXT Generation Tech Protect)
12) detailing door seals and sills (microfiber towels + NXT Generation Tech Protect oraz Supreme Shine Microfiber + Quik Detailer)
13) cleaning windows (Duo-Fiber Glass Towel + NXT Generation Glass Cleaner)
14) waxing stage 2 (Supreme Shine Microfiber) - wipe off
15) waxing rims (Soft Foam Applicator Pad + Deep Crystal Step 3 Carnauba Wax + Supreme Shine Microfiber)
16) final touch (Supreme Shine Microfiber)
When I handed the car back to the owner he said he was absolutely delighted and enchanted by the result. Well, that means it was worth the effort.
Here are some "before" photos:
And here are the "afters":
In the background you can sometimes see my Corolla. It also reflects in the rear bumper in one photo.
