Wow, pretty damn good for your first time, eh? My friend has an '03 GS 300 and it sure is fast; love to know what the GS 430 is like.
You need to get over the fear of ordering online and get some of the stuff that is available at autopia-carcare.com, properautocare.com, autogeek.net, etc. That car was close to 50k new, so treat it with some lovely higher end products to really baby it. And as said before, you would really be doing yourself a favor to get a Porter Cable 7424 random orbit polisher.
I used to have an ES300, so I'm intimately familiar with what can (and can't) be done with Toyota paints.

Alot of this is redundancy. Although looking at your before pictures, sounds like it needed it!
I think the NXT was probably negated the "Mothers sealer and glaze", as I believe the NXT has cleaning properties. NXT afficianados please chime in.
PI II Rubbing Compound and Scratch-X are probably about the same in terms of abrasiveness, so probably one or the other.
Below is a picture of a '95 ES which was taken in 2001 mostlikely. So almost as old in the pic as yours is now. I used
All-In-One,
Sealant Glaze, Blitz Wax, with Einmann Fabrik Clear Pearl and One Grand Show-Off quick detailers.
