I finally had the time to do a full detail on my Lightning. Overall, I'm happy with the results. For a 10 year old truck, I can't complain. There were some scratches and water spots. I'd say I got about a 75% correction. For the remaining water spots, it would take wet sanding and I just didn't have the time for it this time.

Products used :
1) Mother's clay bar
2) M105 on top surfaces
3) M205 on all paint
4) Pinnacle ASR
5) Pinnacle AFP
6) WGDGPS 3.0
7) Liquid Souveran
8) DLux on all plastic trim (:dblthumb2:)

1) All washed, taped up and ready to start the buffing

3) Dirty clay bar

Dlux did a GREAT job on the old, faded plastic trim. It looks great, now I'll just see how long it lasts.

+1, that is and awesome color as well, the benefits of black without the pains for the most part.
