Well, I got it done finally. After the setback yesterday with the cracked paint, I finished it up today and he was VERY happy with the end result!
PAINT
Wash -- Meguiar's Gold Class
Clay -- Mothers
Wash -- Gold Class
Polish -- SIP / Orange CCS with UDM then Micro Polish / White CCS with UDM
Wash -- Dawn to remove oils
Blow dry with Shop Vac blower
Wax -- Pinnacle Souveran
WHEELS & TIRES
Rims -- Megs Wheel Brightener 4:1 then Gold Class -- Meguiar's #21 2.0 sealant ( LOVE this on rims :D )
Tires -- Gold Class -- Dressed with Meguiar's Endurance tire gel
Here is what I started with. Swirls and bad scratches everywhere, along with buffer trails all over the place (all pics after wash)

Turned out very nice, just too bad most of the truck was covered in these tiny paint cracks that I didn't even notice until after polishing...
