Wash & shine, vacuum and condition the leather, shine the wheels up too.

If you are willing to take a drive, take it to Jeff (GoFast908Z). You can't go wrong there.

The best shop (from what I have seen) we have in the Sacramento area is Apperance Solutions (http://appearancesolutions.net/).

Ah I see. Just FYI, the mileage of a car has no bearing on if the paint needs correcting. Most new cars (specially those that have been sitting at a dealership for a while) need some paint correcting. My brand new 2013 GS was on the lot for 4 months before I bought it. But in the time, it was not cared for and was run though their automated car washes an unknown number of times. It didn't help that the car was black. I did a paint correction myself on it even though it only had 17 miles on it when I drove it off the lot.

I have recommended "appearance solutions" to several people. They have never let me down, nor the people I send to them. Not only do they do great work, but they really really take care of you car while it's in their possession.

+1. Appearance Solutions, did a great job on my full XPel wrap. They just expanded too. My car was the cheapest car there when they had it. Just have patience and they will take care of you.

Don't touch your leather!! Don't let anyone talk you into any kind of treatment. Just water on heavy microfiber when dusty or at most liquid hand soap and be sure to wipe twice with clear water on another cloth.
You don't need paint correction unless you can see blemishes! Just do a synthetic clay cleaning application and high end synthetic wax!!~ LUc, u can do this yourself at least once to uncover any defects!!

Yes. I used to be able to clean my car like that but with a struggling back and both tendons torn in the wrist, no go for me to do it!

Hmmm, not so much. depends on how dirty the seats are at this point. I see a plethora of seats that look OK on the surface, until we clean them and take comparison shots. It can be night and day and nothing beats a solid leather cleaner.

Clay is not going to do anything for swirls/scratches. I do a fair amount of work for some very,very high end dealers in Silicon Valley and trust me, cars coming in from the factory can be a mess. A high end synthetic wax will just cover up the mess, and it will be back in a very short amount of time. Sometimes within the first two washes.
Jeff(GoFast908Z) is the guy that can clean up paint and make it awesome over the long term. As another pro detailer, I highly recommend his work
