Polish for a Toyota???

[Ridgeliner]

I'm getting ready to place an order and was thinking about trying a different polish, (I have the XMT 1,2& 3).
I also have a friend who wants me to do his 04 Toyota (4 Runner?) anyway it's black and has never been polished....Lots of Swirls.
I've heard that Toyota has a soft clear coat....Any recommendations on type of polish maybe hints on detailing this one?? Wash, Clay, Polish, Protect... Wax I'm going to use is Souveran.

Thanks!!

Menzerna! Actually, the XMT polishes will work, but I do like the Menz stuff better. I used 106ff on my 07 Toyota Tacoma last weekend and was very happy with the results - it was already in good shape though so you might need something stronger if it's badly swirled.

This one has more than it's fair share of swirls....after years of terry cloth towels used to wash and dry....

Maybe pick up some Menz SIP and Nano? or, use the XMT3 to clean it up and then finish with Nano?

Menzerna Power Gloss Compound, then Nano Polish PO 106FF.
Toyota clear is actually medium to hard but does scratch easily.

, although you could use SIP..it cuts less and will probably be fine if it's just swirls..even bad ones.

If it's really bad you may want to try SSR3. Check out member blkyukon's post about the black Highlander he did ... amazing results with a PC!!

What did you decide to order?

XMT Polishes, or Menzerna polishes (PO106FF). But don't use SIP, I think it's too much for a softer coat.
