    Re: How do I clean Toyota white 20 years old

    99.9999% sure it`s single stage, even more modern toyotas use SS for their "Super White" . You can go different routes with it, if you want to just make it shiny you can hit it with a "cleaner wax" product or "All in One" OR you can go the compound/polish route if you want to chase defects and get best results. Depends on how much patience you got. If you use a nanoskin/synthetic clay pad/towel/sponge, be ready for it to be completely abused and degraded after you`re done. Every single time I have done toyota white it has changed the color on my synthetic clay permanently and I`ve noticed decreased performance. Eventually I`m probably going to charge and extra ~$20 for SS paint just so that I can buy new synthetic clay after each job.

    As others have said, leave the painted pinstripe alone unless you want to shave it away with lots of compounding, or wet sand it, but do it at your own risk of eating through the paint.

    Edit: forgot to add, when it comes to cleaning the paint, I`ve had success with doing a pre soak with diluted APC to remove the grey blotchy road film that accumulates noticeably on that paint, then followed by a regular wash.

    As are our recommendations for everyone who asks. DO A TEST SPOT. If you have a couple different products similar to everything mentioned here TRY the least aggressive method first and go from there.
