Okay, serious answer..
Usually, I'm good with just a interior dust and exterior wash.
But my detail process consists of:
Interior vacuum and cleaning,
Wheels (Zymol)
Exterior wash (Zymol)
Tire Dressing (Meguiar's aerosol)
Twice yearly, Mother's claybar and Turtle Wax.
Mother's Showtime detailer for touchup.
Sadly, there's some swirl mark removal I need to tend to.
h: While the first owner was excellent about maintenance, he picked up some bad habits in car washing.

I just did a half-assed detail job today because I got sick...haha. Only the rear fenders, trunk, wing, and rear bumper are waxed. I did the interior today though.
My uber-detail goes like this:
vacuum interior
clean the inside glass
wipe down all the plastic stuffs
leather conditioner on the seats (I hate leather seats. Willing to trade for Del Sol seats.)
shampoo the carpet
replace the air freshener (new California Scents thingamabob replaced yesterday)
wash the car with that orange crap
wash the wheels & tires
clay bar (only did the back today...durr)
polish
wax
tire dressing
clean the outside glass

:grinpimp: forgot about the engine bay
I covered my fuse box and dist. with baggies, then sprayed everything down with Simple Green. Rinse off after 5 mins and use your favorite rubber/vinyl dressing on the hoses and shiet.
I keep forgetting to do the door jambs though :af:
