Customer brought me his 1999 Dodge that was just a mess.
A lot of scratches, water spots and severe oxidation.
Truck hadn't been washed in months.
Washed using Dawn and Meguiar's APC
Using my Kobalt DA Air Sander, I first wet sanded using 1500 grit followed my 3000 grit.
At this point most of the scratches were gone, left the paint flat and smooth.
Here's what it looked like when it came in.

First compounded using my DeWalt 849x along with a wool pad and Meguiar's 105.
Step two I used my Flex 3401 along with a Lake Country White Flat Pad using Meguiar's 205
Last step..
Duragloss 601 followed by 105
Here's the finished product...
