Thanks.
In 2 years I have never been through a carwash with this one, hand wash only. I would rather drive with an inch of salt on the piant than go through one of those drive through power sanders.
I keep a fresh coat of wax/sealant on the paint every six months. I use meguires gold class. It does not leave any white residue on moldings ect... After each wash with a good brand of car wash, not dish soap unless you want to strip wax. I use Eagle one Wet, it's a quick detailer, makes the paint very glossy after each wash.
On the inside I have been using Armor All leather care. It works OK, I am not sure that 4 runners actually have leather, it seems more like pleather to me. On the good side it does not wear like my Dads Escalade did after a year. On the dash I use another Meguires product, I forget the name, but It works very well.
On tires I use a foam by Armor All.
This spring I may clay bar the paint. I have never done this before, but I hear it gives great results.
The best tip I have, is to keep a spray bottle of cool water and clean soft cloth with you when buffing the wax off. Mist the area you just buffed and wipe with cloth. This smooths the wax out, and give a more even coat of wax that will shine and last.
