Looks awesome! Did you clay bar the windshield as well? If not I highly recommend it along with all other glass.

Did you see a large difference with the claying?? I just did my first claying on a black '96 F150. Despite the fact that it's spent alot of time outside lately, and hadn't been really well cleaned for quite awhile, I really didn't see alot of difference. The only thing I really noticed was that it allowed me to feel those chunks of crap stuck to the paint, didn't take them off, just allowed me to find them so I could pick them off with my fingernail.
Must have done something though, it sold today via craiglist to the first caller for well over book price.

living in a northern state (more road debris to get stuck in the paint)
If you park under trees a lot.
if you drive off-road a lot (especially dry surfaces such as gravel/shell/etc)
Clay is great at taking out very tiny particulate that can actually embed itself in the surface of your paint.
Garage kept and vehicles that are kept cleaned/waxed will have less need for it, but it can still help even on those.

I've always wanted to do mine but really wasn't sure how to go about it. Is there any thing I need to be concerned with and is one brand better than another?

Just follow the instructions on the box and you'll be good! I don't think brand really matters but I always use the meguiars. Two clays and a bottle of the quick Detailer they sell. That way i can buy another bottle of the stuff at walmart for cheap if you need more.
