Worked on my truck this weekend after getting my new GG DA.
The following was done.

Two bucket wash.
Claying wasn't needed.
Polished using m205, made many passes.
Sealed it with GG Paint Sealant.
Meg's NXT.
Polished headlight using my drill, four inch pads with v34 and m205.

Here is some pics and videos of the work I did.
The paint is original and is 17 years old, I'm happy with the results.
I'm happier with the end results than when I did my 2010 Toyota.

I'm very happy with the results.
 
Very nice work. The white paint has excellent gloss and reflection for being white, which is pretty hard to get. White is a tough color. Thanks for posting and sharing the pictures and videos.
 
I did a 93 gmc a month ago. I was a lot of work. Long panels. Alotta body. Nice work.
 
Here is my black Toyota, I just love black even though the upkeep is insane.

On this one I did a full paint correction, but want to polish it once more, almost there.

This is pretty much how it looked before I worked on it, some places were worst.

Nice job on the truck.

The paint on your Toyota looks awesome now. What are you not happy with? Remember that things like factory orange peel usually won't be corrected with compounding and wetsanding factory clear isn't really recommended since it's thin. And unless it's a show car I would try to keep as much clear on it as possible for any corrections you may need to do down the road.
 
What I meant was it can be better , more polishing is needed, the correction came out perfect , not one swirl.
I'm just going for perfection.
No orange peel, very smooth, there's no clear on it, single stage paint.

I just want to go over it again with my m205 using my new GG DA:xyxthumbs:

Ohh okay. They both look really good, especially for being the first few times you used you GG. I'm about to correct my first single stage paint. 1999 white sl500.
 
I didn't use my GG DA on my Toyota just on the truck.


Good luck on that 99 PU.
