It all depends. If your truck has clear coat, then it would use a different polish than non clearcoat paints. The best way to bring back shine to oxidized paint is to thoroughly wash the paint, then be sure you rinse it a lot. you don't want any soap left on it. Then towel dry the truck. You can then further clean it by going over it with a clay bar kit. Then you will want to use a polish or a fine buffing compound depending on how oxidized it is. When you are done polishing it, if you have good looking paint with no deep scratches, you would then want to use a good quality glaze, followed by a very good quality wax, putting on 2 or 3 coats. You can use pretty much any brand as long as it is of good quality. I personally use Meguires.

Best I've found is One Grand.. I use the Reseal cleaner, then the Omega Glaze, finish off with Blitzwax. Can't beat the shine, and it's easier on the arms than most.
