To actually get some semblance of a shine it took 6-8 passes left/right, up/down, etc. The actual oval spots took more attention. Start with that then wipe it off to see if you have shine, if not go more.

So I visited the local dealer here in Stuart. They were really great about it. I spoke with the service manager. I was really blunt, basically told him to give me the truth if he had seen white Toyotas come back with oxidation problems. I expected an emphatic NO, but he said yeah all the time. I...

As someone suggested early on in this thread I used Maguiers Ultimate Compound on an orange pad on my pc7424, then Klasse polish and sealer on white pad, followed by Max wax on a gray pad. It's an all day project... sun up to sun down. I wish I had taken it to the dealer before I did the work...

Well, that's great news about the larger oval spots on the paint being covered. That's my biggest problem now. I will say that I had all of those water drop looking spots on my entire truck as well. I was able to remove them with the ultimate compound on an orange pad using my porter cable. I...

I reread this post. The 'ovals' in question are also on my hood and rear quarter panels. I would surmise they are in the exact same spots. :( Stupid Toyota...

Rumor has it all Toyota paints are single stage with the exception of the metallic or pearl finishes.

Yes, I was able to get the 'ovals' out 90% of the way. If I look closely in direct sun I can see where they were. Luckily there were only 3-4 so no it's not noticeable at all. I used the ultimate compound that was recommended earlier on an orange pad. The white pad didn't touch it. I had to go...

I really would rather not have a respray. I tried the compound and it worked really well. The spots disappeared and I have only done the compounding. It should look great after a polish/seal/wax. Thanks!

Okay... just read about the ultimate compound. Sounds good. After that klasse sealer and wax again?

I didn't buy it new, but the truck hasn't been resprayed. Unfortunately this is a known issue with white Tundra's. So what I'm hearing is more agressive product. How about the pad? I'm using Lake Country orange for the polishing. Stick w/ that?

Greetings fellow autogeeks. First post! I have a Tundra (if you couldn't guess from the screen name). It's a 2008. The problem is the paint sucks! I've done some digging and found out that on some models Toyota uses single stage painting. Basically, there's no clear coat on top of the...
