I finally got to detail one of my own vehicles... my 2009 F-150 XLT Supercab 4x4. I purchased this truck pre owned on December 23rd, 2012 after selling my Jeep to my son. All I had done over the winter was wash it and use QD, so it was long overdue!
The process:
I washed the truck at the firehouse early last evening, so when I got home I just went over it with ONR in a QD solution to remove a light pollen accumulation, then taped up the trim using 3M painter's tape
Clayed with Schlegel's Gray Ghost fine grade clay with Meguiar's #34 final inspection as a lubricant.
Buffed with Meguiar's #2 fine cut cleaner on via PC with a Lake Country cutting pad
Polished with Meguiar's #9 swirl remover via PC with a Lake Country polishing pad.
LSP was Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant X2
Glass cleaned with sprayway glass cleaner and microfiber towels
Exterior glass treated with RainX
Wheels were cleaned using Eagle 1 NevrDull and sealed with Megs #21.
Exterior trim rtreated with Stoner's Trim Shine
Tires treated with Stoner's More Shine.
Headlights and tailights were polished with Meg's PlastX and sealed with Meg's #21
The interior just got a good vacuuming and the dash and door panels were cleaned using Surf City's Dash Away interior cleaner. Total time was 8 hours ( 1.5 hours washing the night before, 6.5 hours detailing)

FYI: I did mow the lawn when I finished with the pictures.. the third time in eight days!

I love the look of the classic Ford V8 insignia I added...
