What I use:

Wash car w/ Dawn
Clay car with either Mothers or Zaino clay bar
Porter Cable orbital and a 3M foam pad, apply 3M swirl remover, remove with 100% cotton towel, wash car again
Zaino Z2 w/ ZFX, 2 to 3 coats (takes about an hour at most for the 3 coats), applied with cotton applicator and removed with 100% cotton towel or microfiber
Hit it with some Z6

Wheels are usually washed down with some simple green and a soft brush. I find waxing/zainoing them once they're clean helps future removal of brake dust.

Tires are scrubed down with simple green and then I use Meguires high endurance tire gel.

Interior is usually the new Meguires interior dressing (spooge looking stuff in the transparent red bottle) on plastic/vinal, and Zaino leather-soft products on the seats.

werd. :D

i always liked using Eagle one polish and wax, i used to detail lots of cars on the side, and most customers loved that stuff.

I feel Meguiars products are the best in the buisness. Use Meguiars wax once or twice a year, and #7 show car glaze in between. :D
