 How and when should I detail my newly painted 4Runner?
Hello,
I own a 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited in red salsa pearl and just had it painted from the grille to the back bumper. The sides of the vehicle were not re-painted since they are in good condition. The top was re-painted because the clear coat was peeling and flaking off badly.
I wanted to know when it will be safe to detail the newly painted areas and what is required to protect it when I do. When I am able to detail it should I just apply a sealant and wax or is there more required to get that showroom shine?
I use the PC7424XP with the LC pads and Megs MG to detail my vehicle. If you have any other suggestions on better products to use on a newly painted vehicle I'm ready to try them.
Thank You,
Dennis

I think that you are supposed to wait 3months to let the clear cure. Someone with more knowledge will chime in an correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't have any first hand experience with fresh paint. I have read that you can use glazes to make it shine until it cures. Meguiar's Mirror Glaze is a line that caters to those in need of products that are "paint shop safe". Do some searching, I'm sure Mike Phillips has written on the subject iirc. Good luck!
