Yesterday I decided to take the whole day and detail my car. Spent around 4 hours in total working on paint alone, the wash and breaks inbetween added up to 6 hours in total. This was my first time doing something like this, so I am pretty sure there is alot I can improve on although I am very happy with the outcome. I started the process with a good wash using some Sonax car shampoo. After that I used only Menzerna products for the job. Started out with FG400 followed by SF4000 and finished it off with PL. I was pleased to see an improvement in paint condition and color enhancement after every step. I had a hard time taking decent pictures as I mainly use my Galaxy Note2 to take pictures. I got some pretty decent pictures showing some reflection afterwards anyways. The paint feels smooth and shines like a new car. Would not say the car has 260k km's on the clock.

2 x 50/50 shots after 1 pass with FG400

Thanx for all the comments guys. I did another Polo today but the paint was in a POOR state , told the client to get a respray rather as the car is bumped and paint is chipping off and what not yet they insisted I just polish the car and give it my best shot. I decided to use the polish I got with my cyclo polisher instead of my Menzerna and WOW what a difference I noted between the 2. Menzerna feels alot better than the cyclo polish. Got good results with the cyclo polish nonetheless.
