I took it to a Ceramic Pro dealer and they did a full paint correction and polish and it came out fantastic. Better than any black 4Runner I saw.
It cost me $1300 and I was able to get Toyota to pay $500 towards the work. It has held up great for four years and looks better than new after a wash.
Consider this your first ding or scratch. Unfortunately, more to come. I would recommend ceramic coating.
Good luck with the repaint. Nice color. I wouldn’t wait 6 months either.

It is amazing to me what these dealerships do to the paint of a car in their showroom, every time I looked at the cars in the show room I would cringe at all the swirl marks. Clearly whatever kid they're paying minimum wage does not care how much damage he's doing when he wipes them down, it's ridiculous
