Finally got time to detail my ride after a long Winter and Rainy Spring
I clay barred it with the Meguiars kit ( used both clay bars ) and waxed it with Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax. I liked the Trinova wax I got. I think the Trinova may work a little better on darker color paint, but both take the same amount of time to apply and remove.
For the interior, I used the Meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner. It was the first time I've ever used it ( used Armor All and Alexis in the past ) and have to say that I was presently surprised how well it worked. It gives it that shiny look, but no slippery feel. I even cleaned and wiped down the steering wheel.
For the engine bay, I warmed up the motor a little and sprayed it down with Greased Lighting, let it sit for a couple of minutes and hosed off.
For the tires I used Black Magic Tire Gel. I can usually get a couple of weeks with one application, even if it rains. You just have to make sure to really wipe them down with a clean rag to keep it from slinging
To finish it off, I put on my yearly application of Aquapel on the windshield. The rest of the glass was cleaned with Sprayway glass cleaner, I love the way it doesn't leave any streaks.
Didn't come out half bad for a 17 year old truck with 80K miles.
