On the pads 8006 & 9006. Also have that red one but was told never to use it...:o
Meguiar’s stuff all less then a 1 year old.
Diamond Cut Compound (use on a boat one time)
Fine Cut Cleaner
Swirl Remover
Hi Tech Yellow wax #26
Final Insp #34
Scratch X
Also have some other stuff in the back...
Bonus question...
On the edit note, lets just say the truck has been used (off-road)... I got a good deal on it and just trying to make a dollar.

the Swirl Remover doesn't have a whole lot of cut to it, and your arms might fall off trying to do that with just #9.
If you want to stay with Meg's products, I would recommend picking up some #80, and start with that, then follow it up with the #9. This is the cheapest way for you to go, since you only ned to buy one additional thing.
The 8006 pad will work fine with the #80 (Speed Glaze). patience is the key here. work small areas, and make multiple passes to get the results you are looking for.
The Poor Boy's approach RR suggested will also do the trick. Just cost you some more $$$.

I'll be as straight as I can possibly be with you...
You're not going to get it with a PC - Meguiar's, Poorboy's, Jesus Juice...whatever. It's really that simple. You can, however, put a dent in it with the PC.
What you've shown us is a prime job for a good detailer with a rotary.
#80 with VERY slow passes utilizing a POLISHING pad (yellow Megs) would be a good start but, again, you're dealing with a lot of swirling and scratching that may or may not work out simplicitcally. A lot will depend on the state of the clear -- that being if it's ultra-hard or maybe a bit softer and easier to work with (soft doesn't necessarily = easy to work with, btw).
While I don't regularly recommend it with the PC, in the current condition of the paint, #83 may be a good choice with a yellow pad. You will, however, have to end up following it with a #80-like product.
As has been mentioned, #9 is going to offer little to no help.
Too bad you're not closer... I'd knock it out for you if you'd buy lunch and beverages.

It's only 12+ hours to drive it up here. HA!
