Lots of information held within this area of the board.

I think we all have a different way of doing it so you'll just have to find out what you like. Just try out some of the products you hear mentioned a lot on here and see what you think.

I personally like to recommend the Poorboy products as most are very easy to use and buff off.

The best thing I've found and used is Zaino. www.zainobros.com I've used it for about 3 years and it's almost unreal how well it works. Claybar your truck, then start polishing with Zaino 5 and step back and smile. And the cool thing about Zaino is the more coats you apply, the deeper the shine is. I just got my 01 F150 last week and started on mine on Monday, got 2 coats on drivers side and it looks amazing! Mine's black too, btw. Check out Zaino.

Wash / Clay bar / Polish / Wax / Detail Spray
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS on ploish and wax. Some ploishes tell you to work the polish in a side-to-side motion. Most waxes say apply in circular motion. Stay with one manufacturer as all chemicals are made to work with each other. Use either 100% cotton or these new micro fiber clothes on everything.
