Clay bar works wonders for tree sap and grittyness on the paint... make sure you keep the surface wet though and do it in the shade. I will turn out very smooth.

Spend some man hours, clay bar, wash, hand polish, wax etc.

I would also brillo pad the grill and bumper/bumper plastics and shoot them back to black with some trim paint.

Then Post More Pics!

I blacked out my lights after seeing yours. Looks good thanks for the assist.

I took my lenses off and sprayed the inside with a very light coating of duplicolor sandable primer the first time, to keep the shine on the outside. I loved them but after a few years they started to chip inside so I resprayed them (too thick this time so the light is barely visible) plus one has a crack.

I purchased some new lenses from the JY and an going to redo them inside with nightshades this time.

I've used a clay bar and quick detailer on my Mustang and it works very well, but I think the paint on the B is beyond that now. When I got the truck it looked like it hadn't been touched with soap and water for many years. I think it's to the point now where I'll have to use some fine cut compound on it to remove the oxidation and find some of the fresher paint underneath, then maybe a good polish and some wax

I sprayed the inside as well I'm happy with the look I need some new ones though because one is cracked.

Hopefully the paint is not too far gone where you just burn through it like nothing. There is always plasti-dip or rattle can as a inexpensive option.

Good Luck!
