I got my wife to help on a detail, pic to prove it! (Dodge Ram)
My wife wanted her Dad's Dodge Ram done as part of a fathers day gift, so we ended up doing it this week. Here was our process:
Wash - NXT, added a cup of Zep citrus degreaser mixed in to strip anything on the paint.
Clay - Clay Magic Blue, my wife helped and did most of the claying and the whole interior on her own!
Polish - we spot polished some isolated scuffs and scratches with Megs M80 speed glaze, but this was supposed to only be a "wash n/wax" and interior, so she didn't want me to spend the time to do the whole truck. (PC, speed 6, White LC 5.5 inch pad)
LSP - Duragloss 105 TPP, we wanted to have a durable LSP that would also give a good shine to this color, I think I turned out great.
Tires and wheel wells - Cleaned with purple power cut 1:1. tires got dressed with Armor All extreme gel, then AA foam, wheel wells got AA foam for a dressing.
Interior - all vinyl was dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus, stains were spot treated with folex then extracted with a wet/dry shopvac. Stoners IG on all glass.
Here are some pics, enjoy!

I would have snapped more after, but he needed the truck back soon. My wifes father was very thankful when he saw it.
Thanks for looking,

Awesome! My g/f helped me out on a mini detail on her car too. She said she would feel bad more me to do all the work.
Obsessed is a word that lazy people use for Dedicated.

Great job, my wife is always offering to help, and when she does, I say, "bring me a coke"

Very nice work. That's really cool that your wife helped and did the claying. I had my wife helping me today, for the first time. We did the interiors of both our vehicles. I vacuumed and she wiped down the interior and did the windows, while I applied the dressing. It was fun.

Well, yah, your wife is pregnant, so that is a little different there.
My husband waits for me to get to them - including his now - he only washes it - his beater for work that is - if it is truly filthy and I haven't gotten to the cars in quite a while - (week to two, like when school was ending - super hectic and cars hit the back burner, except for keeping the vette clean).
Otherwise, he sure isn't going to work on them. Never has. Before I did them, I hired kids from school - very selectively, and maintained them that way.
