Here's mine, last major detail was at the start of August (SSR1, AIO, P21S). These pics were taken just a few weeks ago, when summer was still in the air. I washed it really well (Super Slick n Suds), found no tar or other surface contaminants, so then finished with OCW by hand. I love OCW - the spray application makes it quick and easy to use, and the results on metallic silver are fantastic! Popping flake and hard reflections, although the camera didn't pick up the flake - I guess the sun was too high or too strong. The piccies were taken with a run of the mill Finepix F700 on landscape mode (too bright for auto mode).

Microfibre mitt and normal shampoo, followed by quick detailer after every wash. I apply wax protection every couple of months - either Swissol Autobahn Wheelwax or OCW if I'm feeling lazy (normally after I've topped up the OCW on the rest of the car. Brake dust just does not stick anymore, even after furious trackdays. Thank god!

Do it properly once (1-2 days work) and from then on it's dead easy to keep it looking good - just a wash once a week (1 hour), and a wax/dressing top up once a month (an extra half an hour after a wash).:)

LOL, it's got few, but the bonnet was resprayed at the start of the year and the bodykit was only fitted in August, so no wonder it looks mint! That is apart from a huge scrape (through to the plastic) on the drivers side wheel arch (on the bumper thank god) that someone kindly left me whilst in airport parking a few weeks back. Won't bother getting it sorted until next spring, once the barrage of grit and salt has ended...
