is that what you use on your tundra mines black and its in pretty sad shape as i use it out in the mountains alot not looking for a show quality finish what should i use after that ?
 
M105 on LC orange has worked great for me, even on black paint.

Look into M101 which is formulated specifically for foam pads and probably isn't as a PITA to use as M105.
 
I went from 3M to 105 and both work great. 105 smells better too. Lol

M101 looks promising but haven't used it.

If I could go back i'd get the Menzerna to test out first instead of the 105.
 
M105 but if you want a lower dusting compound and easy wipe off I'd go with Chemical Guys v34, it works really well on my black car, got rid of all of the swirls and was impressed for well it finished.
Can't go wrong with either one, both are fine compounds.
 
any other suggests maybe something a little cheaper ?
 
get the 105 in a 8oz.bottle,maybe a bit more dusty but you dont have to spend much
 
I have both Meg's and Menzerna, and I find that the Menzerna gives me much better results in my black car.

Meguiar's Ultimate Compound....it's kissin' cousin to 105. Just because it is an 'over the counter' product, don't that fool you. It IS a pretty stout product that works well.

Toyotas have really soft paint. I use D300 on them all the time with great results. Try the D300 before buying something more aggressive.

Start with your d300 and a mf cutting disc. It's; a great compound and finishes extremely well, especially if you're not wanting to go 3+ steps. Try something else IF than doesn't work, I bet you'll be surprised by how well it does. Otherwise, you're just putting your project off for a week, waiting to be recommended a product, then tossing around in your head whether to buy it, then trying to add other stuff to the cart to get free shipping, then sayin "ahh, I'll wait for the next sale" and then just to think theres another product you'd rather have because you saw success from someone else... (Can't tell I've been down that road a few times have you, lol)
