This is a 2006 Ford F150 I currently use to tow the car around. 45k on the odometer, great truck, rides super smooth and pulls nice enough for a gas. The interior is really the icing on the cake. The trim makes it feel very upscale, the sunroof makes it feel spacious, and the radio is pretty good. Seats are OK, and feel "upscale" too. Anyways, this is now for sale 
I am getting a Dodge 3500 Cummins Diesel Dually late next week (road trip: dallas - memphis - st. louis - indianapolis - michigan)...
Anyways, on to the detail.
Wheels washed with Meguiar's Wheel Brightener
Exterior washed with pressure washer and Meguiar's Gold Class in foam gun
Clayed with Griots clay (cut into small pieces - used two)
Polished via rotary:
Meguiar's #105 on Meg's orange pad
Menzerna Nano Polish via white CCW pad
Menzerna Final Finish via black CCW pad
LSP: Zaino Z5 + ZFX x 2 + Finish Kare #425 as quick detailer
All exterior plastic (bed edge trim, mirrors, lip, bumper insert) was treated with Black WOW and buffed out to not be too shiny
All rubber seals (windows, rear glass, sunroof, all door seals) were treated with Einszett GummiPfledge
Undercarriage, Engine, and Spray-On bedliner were cleaned with Meguiar's Super Degreaser and coated with Detailer's Pride Hyper Dressing at 2:1 (very slight gloss)
Glass cleaned with Stoner's Glass Cleaner
Interior cleaned with Detailer's Pride Interior Cleaner followed by Poorboy's natural dressing (first time using this).
Truck came out good. Next time I use Meg's #105 I will follow with another step to reduce the hazing. I also plan to do another coat or 2 of zaino sometime this week. This truck has tons of plastic! Getting Black WOW was time consuming, and once this stuff gets on paint it is difficult to get off (as it smears forever).
pretty clean fromt he get-go:
Very slight swirling, but the hood was worse which convinced me to do the #105 and improve the "orange peel" a bit:

Door Jambs done with Formula 425:
