I did this detail a while back, thought I would post it up for you. I really love the color, and the FX4 stickers are some of the only ones I have ever liked... enjoy.

I hate dealer stickers with a passion. soaked it in 3M and then hit it with the steam and it fell right off!
Wheels were done by the Dave KG method, a little bit of Diablo and some preagitation, hit um with some steam and wala!
I measured the paint with my highline II and was semi disappointed, readings in the 90-100 range... the tailgate had reading in the 50-70 range! Needless to say I did no correction on the gate...
I wanted to try some new compounds so I initially was going to just one step it with S03+ but it was hologramming and marring a ton.. so I tried M105, almost no holograming but still plenty of marring, so I grabbed SIP and for the first time ever it was leave some marring and holorgramming... WTF!!!
This was the first time I tried to one step and failed... Usually SIP on Green is a one step monster... not today. I was happy with the amount of defect removal from the 105 and after chasing with 205 the paint looked great!
This was honestly the hardest correction I have ever done... don't know what was going on.. paint was just kind of a PITA...
I couldn't catch the defects with my camera at all so I did one 50/50 and gave up... all you get is afters
All Done!
BFWD FTW!!!

I know nothing about what you did here or any of those acronyms... Could you please elaborate on the materials/compounds you used to bring your paint back to that condition?
