I use sand paper
Adam's Polishes
I own about everything they make, but a typical exterior detail goes as follows:
Wash truck using 2 bucket/grit guart method with wool mit
dry truck off using white waffle weave towel and blaster sidekick motorcycle dryer for the cracks and hard to reach places
clay bar using detail spray as a lubricant
Bust out the Porter Cable 7424 and go over the truck with swirl remover (or severe swirl remover depending on how bad it is)
Go over truck again with Revive Polish
Go over again with Machine Super Wax (sealant wax)
Clean windows, hit all plastics, tires etc. with VRT (vinyl, rubber, tire dressing)
Give truck a couple days, to let sealant wax cure fully
Wipe her down with a microfiber towel and detail spray to clean her up again
than apply (by hand) Americana carnuba paste wax
Remove wax, and enjoy the shine!

What the hell did you go and change your whole first post for?
My first post didn't appear to post. I received a Internet Explorer or forum error and then a blank screen.
I'm not sure what happened, if it was IE, VB or my ISP so I clicked the back button and did it again.
Then I had two posts of the same thing??? (ARGH)
I wanted to do two posts one wash, one wax. So I changed the post content on the second post.
I tried but was unable to change the Title summary line.
Sorry 'bout the confusion.
BTW - I have not tried Adam's products. Glad to hear you get great results.
Your truck looks VERY shiny!!! Great job! I like shiny. I will have to try 'em out.
I use mostly chemical guys products, I really like their 'extreme depth wax + X-seal'
applied with a red hand applicator for my final step.
I do use mag. 105 for paint correction, with lake country? pads on my DA.
I ordered a set of surbuf pads recently, need to pull the luggage rack off the wifes convertible and buff out the trunk with that to give it a good test.
I haven't done a full process on my harley yet, but the last car I detailed was my fobra, that chemical guys stuff really holds up well as I did a 5 step on it a good 2 months ago and we've had a lot of rain!
(day of detail process, 2 months ago)
(last weekend)
I use Jax Wax liquid caranuba wax as my LSP.I t is extremely easy on and off and does not dust.We use it on all of our details..
Man, reading this makes me feel bad, I need to do the Truck, Honda and the Camaro soo bad.
I use a lot of Mothers and Meguiars Pro products, they work very well for me.
Same here, Mothers & Meguiars products for me...
