Working by hand or machine? Either way Meguiars M105/M205 are fantastic. You'll want a compound or medium polish (M105 in this case) to remove the swirls then a finishing polish (M205) to make the paint nice and glossy. There's a lot of good stuff out there, but I have to go against the grain and say Adams products are only mediocre and pretty overpriced.

I will be using machine. By machine I just did my hood, which was badly oxidized and came out not bad with just 3M rubbing compound, the rest of the truck is left so i'll check out the adam's or meguiars.

using a pc7424 with a 5.5" orange lc pad and m105, it finishes off pretty much flawless in one step. KB method FTW!
