Glad to know! I tried to keep it simple while including as much detail as possible. I give most of the credit to the videos. They make it extremely easy to see what is possible with a little time.

Just my preference. I have a little handle, maybe six inches long, that has a circular velcro backing made for the foam pads. It comes in handy cleaning both the inside and outside glass panels. The inside windshield is so much easier because I don't have to worry about my knuckles or anything smearing the windshield after I clean it.

It's similar to the Stoner's handle but cheaper and circular.

Microfiber towels work fine to clean it.

Convenience is a factor, but doing it this way gives you the satisfaction of doing your own truck. That and you gain the know-how for future projects of a similar nature. You also only have to pay for materials once--and they usually last through several (3+) full details. Much cheaper in both the long and short term. There's no doubt, though, that this does take time and commitment.
