Not sure if it's really show n shine worthy but my buddy was happy with the results.
Products used:
Meg's gold class 2bm
Megs apc on all trim and door jams
Eagle one a2z wheel cleaner
Tuf shine tire cleaner
Iron-x lemon
Nanoskin fine towel with glide
WG tsr, some uber compound for deeper scratches with orange/yellow lc flat pads
Carpro reflect with white lc flat pad
Carpro eraser
CQUK on all paint and wheels
DLUX on plastic trim
Reload on paint and trim after 3-4 hours
Tuf shine tire costing
PBL surface coating on glass, lights, and chrome trim

I think I only have a couple before pictures (but after cleaning wheels and tires) 35062
35063

Didn't get done last night until 7ish so lighting wasn't great. Paint had some incredible orange peel. I had polished it last year so the paint was in good condition besides some branch marks and the hood which had some deeper scratches that were a little too deep for full correction.

Some after shots:

There was a hair on the hood-not a scratch: 35070

Unfortunately it couldn't sit overnight and of course a thunderstorm rolled in around midnight. Hoping the reload provided enough protection: 3507135072

I had my buddy wipe up any of the rain this morning with a couple of towels so hopefully no water spots. I hope it lasts 2 years because doing a truck that big takes some serious time and effort.

Any questions, comments, criticisms are more than welcome!

The paint looks very liquid & glossy especially on the last pic, you made something out of nothing. Outstanding results considering this is GMC paint.

his is a great truck! Comfy and reliable, it does gulp gas, but it is still good. The 16" bike test beat all other trucks. When we first knew we were going to test it, we thought the interior would be modern, but not so.
