Well, I washed, clayed, and waxed "Otto" this past weekend. Took all Saturday afternoon, and then some, but it sure looks good. I used Griots Garage clay and Speed Shine, and then waxed it with Eagle One Nanowax.
There were a couple of things I wasn't sure what type of product (if any) to use on them. 1. The grey accents on the front and rear bumpers? 2. The roof rack and cross bars (knuckle busters)? 3. The running boards? 4. The black on the "B" pillars between the doors? I didn't want to just put wax on them, then not be able to get it off! Thanks!

I've been using Meguiare's Shine with very good results.

I have used Meguire's Back to Black, and Stoner's Trim Shine. Both work well. The Meguire's makes it shine right away, Stoner's seems to clean off better, but not as bright.
I also use the Nano wax, it works great. I also put on a Caranuba was after, and it gave it great depth.

except item number 4. From my understanding though, that black B pillar you mention is actually a very tough sticker... not quite sure the material, but I would not be surprised if it's vinyl... and 303 works on vinyl like a champ!

Thanks for the imput. I used Griot's Vinyl and Rubber protectant on the running boards, and the wife said they are too slick (I don't use 'em). And if the black piece on the B pillar is vinyl, then wax should be ok (I'll try a small area and see).
Here'a a pic of the results. I finally got around to taking one on the way home today.
