This is for a brand new black 4 runner. This I'd a daily driver and I do not want to spend hours detailing it only to get dirty in a day or so. Thanks !!

Of the over-the-counter brands, if I remember correctly, Meguiar's Cleaner Wax outperformed the competitors in a blind study done by Consumer Reports. It is also very economical and available in paste and liquid.

I'm sure some other members can comment on some higher-end/specialty cleaner waxes that Autogeek offers.

From personal experience, I don't think I could tell the difference when I applied both Mother's and Meguiar's cleaner waxes. Both, I think, are solid choices. I also have liked using Klasse All-in-One which was very easy to apply and had fantastic results, however it is not "technically" a cleaner wax.

DG 501 gets my vote. It will blow you away. Can buy locally at Carquest stores. Not only an A-1 cleaner, but expect 6-9 months of protection.

I have had great results with Griots garage aio sealant. I just washed a car I did back in August of last year and was surprised at how well it held up even with the salt. The owner hadn't washed it since I did it back in August. Its my new favorite. I do have some DG 501 I'm gonna try on my truck soon.

DG501 or Optimum Poli-Seal or GPS. The Meg's cleaner wax is a good product but it stains trim.

This is actually a very good product and will work very well and "safe" on a black clearcoated car. It's been around since 1973 and continually improved over the years.

Just slow down and avoid getting it on trim or tape the trim off. Again, this is why I like detailing classic... no stupid black plastic trim to even think twice about.

Another option would be Optimum GPS.

You know I love #6 and A-12 and have been using them forever, but it's just a lot harder to stain trim with 501 or Poli-Seal. One of these days I'll get to try GPS.

Poliseal is a great recommendation but on black DG501 will amplify any swirls. I'd suggest Mother's Carnauba Cleaner or NXT. NXT doesn't have strong cleaners, but if you are claying regularly, it works very well.
