Someone that I work with just picked this up a few days ago and brought it to me right away. He wasn't really concerned with the exterior, but wanted the interior and under the hood done, and mentioned he wanted the tires to be really shiny a few times.
Here is what I did

Leather cleaned with Lexol Leather Cleaner
Leather conditioned with Lexol Leather Conditioner
Carpet cleaned with Folex, agitated with scrub brush, vacuumed again
Dash, door panels, and windows cleaned with DP 4 in 1 rinseless Wash & Shine
UNDER HOOD
Spray down with Meguiar's Super Degreaser dilluted 4:1, agitated with 1" brush, rinsed
Spray all underhood plastic with Meguiar's hot shine tire spray
TIRES / RIMS
Rims cleaned with Meguiar's Wheel Brightener dilluted 4:1
Tires cleaned with Meguiar's Super Degreaser dilluted 4:1
Tires dressed with Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance tire shine gel
EXTERIOR

I won't bother posting pics of the seats before and after, they weren't that dirty.
