Detailed this 750il today. Really nice car: V12, leather throughout with some very nice stitching. Today was exterior only but hopefully the customer will return and I can tackle the interior.
This was really tough work. After washing I saw it was covered with severe swirls. I did not get this car completely swirl-free due to time constraints, and let the customer know. But considering the severity of the marring and the time I had I was happy with the work.
Process was...
Wash w/ BHB and foam gun. DP extreme foam
Sonus green clay
OHC @ 1500 - multiple passes on worst areas
OP @ 1100
Prime
AJT
DP tire gel
Armor All wheel wells.

After two passes of OHC. You can see there's still some marring, and I hated having to move on to other areas while leaving it this way. But I had to address the rest of the car due to time constraints. The final pass of OP improved it a bit as well:
