Looks great! What tire dressing are you using? How long after you dressed the tires did you take the picture? So, the reason I ask is because I have tried several different brands of tire dressing and they all streak after a day or two. In other words the tire has uneven shine in some spots.

These pictures were taken about 36 hours after I had completed the detail (including dressing the tires). I use a professional line Meguiar's product for the tires: "All Season Tire Dressing" - It's a dark blue liquid that I buy in bulk one gallon containers and then put into 32oz trigger spray bottles. I buy it from ADS (Auto Detailing Solutions) because I don't know where to buy professional products locally. I find this product last a week or two (typically outlast how clean the rest of the car is)......and it really is not very expensive. It also works in the cold winter months (a must in Ohio). I've tried all the Meguiar's tire dressings (including the ones that are supposed to be better than this one), but I really prefer this product.
As for the paint: I used A Meguiar's fine clay bar along with Meguiar's Last Touch Detailer Spray to clay the surface. Then I polished with Meguiar's Ultimate Polishing Compound to get the Swirls and Light Scratches out. Then I conditioned the Paint with Meguiar's Show Car Glaze. I then sealed the Paint with Wolfgang's Synthetic Paint Sealant 3.0. Finally, I added two coats of Wolfgang's Fuzion Wax as a topper. I often use Pinnacle Souveran wax, but this time I used the Fusion from Wolfgang (honestly, the Pinnacle is a bit better).

Leather ........
I am actually detailing the interior of my SC430 and my wife's Sequoia this week (one guess as to which takes more time).........
I have used a two steps process on all my leather seats for years. I found the top end car detailers were using this product system along with high end dealers such as Ferrari. I must warn you, it's expensive, but I find the results worth it........
It's called "leatherique Rejuvenator". The first steps is to put an oil all over the leather and let it sit for hours until is soaks in and dries. Then you clean off the residue with a standard leather cleaner from them. The results are a very soft leather surface that is really clean. I dread buying these kits because they run about $90 for a 32 oz. two part kit. However, you can often find them 30% off (but even that is still expensive). I do like the results and people always ask me why my seats feel and look so good.........
