Just gave it light wash and wax with Meguiar's Gold Class paste, not a bad product :)

Looks superb. Mine hasn't been washed since October, 6,000 miles ago. It's filthy.

Very nice.. how long did that take?

Well, at least you have protective sacrificial dirt layer :D

I admit using nearby roadside car wash, I just skipped detailing.
Waxing, conditioning trims, buffing and windows took some 2 hours not including frequent tea breaks.
However, I've been slowly working on it since I bought it last month, moving mechanics protected with ACF 50 and marine grease, seals conditioned with Renolit, windows coated with repellent etc.
So far I've probably put about 10 hours of solid work into it :)

Good job. That milano red looks great when the car is clean.
After all this is over there will be some very clean cars and some very neat gardens!
I'm doing little or no mileage at present but the car is extremely dusty.

That is true, I've finished treating dashboard plastics and leather on the wheel. Downside - shiny dashboard will reflect a bit in windows!
One last thing on my list is to treat interior upholstery fabric with some protective sealant, like Gtechniq's Smart Fabric.
Once I finish running high-PBA cleaners through the engine, it'll get new spark plugs, valves checked, brakes overhauled and that will be it until next year :)

Strictly speaking that is going out unnecessarily! My brother told me that now he cannot go to the gym he did a bit of gardening. His willow wishes he had gone to the gym.
