The 86 has been a little neglected for the past months and ended up looking really rough, the sealant it had on (Carpro Reload) had deteriorated up to the point the car was attracting all the dirt and looked a mess. It was time to sort it out. Now, it's only recently that I've got into detailing and I certainly prefer driving over looking good, so don't expect any show-worthy results 
As for the process, washed it with snow foam, then two bucket method. Used a polyshave block for claying. Very much recommend it, much easier to work with compared to normal clay and if you drop it on ground, no biggie, just rinse it and go on. Then degreasing and light polishing with Meguiar's 205. Purposely avoided heavier polishing as being a winter commuter the car sees so much crap that to keep it impeccable I'd have to heavy polish it once a year if not more often and I'm afraid I'd be soon left with no lacquer left to polish.
Another wash after polishing and a coat of Soft99 Fusso synthetic wax.
Interested to try it out as it's supposedly long-lasting, which is important for a car I use daily between November and April, as there is no chance to detail it once a month or so, so I'm looking at something which will last as long as possible with very regular snow foam washing. Finally, cleaned up wheel lips with Autosol and that's what I've ended up with.
