Wash the truck.

I use the Pinnacle clay bar...
http://www.autogeek.net/ultra-fine-poly-clay.html
and liquid ice quick detailer as the clay lube.

Wash the truck again.

Wax the truck with your favorite wax.

then hit the truck with a sealant. I got a gal of this from chemical guys, and it has lasted me all summer, and I still have a lot left...

you can do multiple layers of the sealant for more depth of shine.

the auto geek bars are big. I rip them in thirds and keep them in a ziploc bag.

I just keep using my clay bar. I have clayed three cars so far with mine. When the clay bar starts to look dirty, just knead the clay till it looks clean again.

AGAIN IF YOU DROP IT, THROW IT AWAY!!!!!

now someone said that a clay bar takes out the grime and dirt does it take the clear coat off of the vehicle?

no it does not take off the clear coat. onless you try to sand with it. you just glide it over the finish using the lubricant (detail wax usually)
