For my own cars

If I do the interior, I do this part first.

Then on to the wash process....
Wheels and tires first
Body...top to bottom
Dry
Other exterior things such as trim, windows etc.
Clay
Paint Correct
Polish
Seal
Wax

I usually wash first so I can do door jams with soapy brush and rinse. That way any overspray with hose doesn't mess up interior I just detailed
Prep
Wash,engine,wheels,tires,wheel wheels,door jams,bumpers, rocker panels
switch buckets
Wash body top to bottom,rinse and Dry
Interior Detail
headliner,vac,clean carpets and upholstery,do all inter moldings top to bottom
Exterior Detail
Clay bar,wetsand scratches, compound,buff,polish as needed to restore factory shine,wax
while wax is drying dress engine and tires,paint or coat wheel wheels
remove wax
windows inside and out
final vac
roll outside to inspect
Inspect what you expect and you'll always have profection!
