It's never to late. Watch this video.

Clay Bar Part 1

If you're interested in detailing your entire truck you can watch all of the videos. There are 32 in all.
It's really about a 1 hr. infomercial for the products Adams sells.
I found them to be very informative. Many of the 32 videos are less than a min. long

They're decent videos, but really not the most informative videos I have seen. The guy is a salesman and really doesnt seem very knowledgeable. Idk... maybe I'm just mislead and believe proper car detailing really is rocket science

Looks good! I used this stuff on my truck and I was amazed at how well it turned out when I was done. You should paint your valance, flares, and bedcaps black now. It will make the truck look even better.

I said the vids were pretty much an informercial. If you've seen better, I'd like to know about it/them. I can always use more info. Thanks.
