I think it will depend on what area you are in and what your market will bear but in general, a full exterior wash, full machine polish (masking windows and trim) with extra work on a few specific problem areas and then wax and tire dressing.

No clay at this price point, IMHO.

200 isn't that high. 150 here gets you clay bar, polish, wax, interior done, leather treated, wheels and tires done.

I actually recently did this,

I got a wet-sanding outta my bodyshop guy, 75% of the scratches are gone, sorry there were quite a few spider and other, all the panels are much closer in color than prior, some chips filled and sanded and a GT antenna installed to boot!

I was/am pretty happy with the results. Oh and I got a tire dressing. No calipers polished.

For $200 you'd better clean everything right down to the coolant.
