OK, got my Adams Brilliant Glaze and Americana wax.
Washed and dried the Raptor then used an orange pad and Klasse All In One (AIO) with a Porter Cable 7424. The paint was in almost perfect condition so there was no need to clay.
After the AIO I applied the Brilliant Glaze by hand. I did two panels at a time and then buffed off the residue, completing the truck before moving on to putting on the wax. This stuff went on very easy.....almost too easy and it had me concerned.....
I then applied the Americana wax by hand, doing one panel at a time, letting it haze and then buffing off the residue. I suggest not doing any more than one or two panels at a time as the wax can be a little difficult to get off if you let set up for too long. Again, this wax went on really easy and buffed out just as easily.
Amazing!!! While silver is a color than cannot get that deep liquid look of darker colors, the Adams products did provide a very rich and almost wet finish. Much better than anything I had ever tried in the past. I had been using Wolfgang and Blackfire but the Adams products gave my Raptor a more "wet" looking finish. I can now shave by looking in the door panel LOL. Never could do that before.
Thanks Nick for the suggestions

Too bad the camera and the cameraman cannot take pictures well enough to give the finish the justice it deserves.
