I have a 2004 4Runner Sport and I am trying to figure out how I can make it look its best for as long as possible. I am in El Paso, TX so it gets very windy and very dusty and the weather really wreaks havoc on a black car. I was thinking about getting the paste Souveran, but the oils would attract dust like a magnet. (but it sure would look good until then...lol)



Anyway, I just want something easy and effective that will really make this 4runner look its best. Also, if I go with #26 liquid, shuld I polycharge it?



Thanks!:thx
 
I'd go with #26. However, I'd do a layer of M21 first, wait 12-24 hours and then do a coat of M26. This really adds to the wet look. M21 makes it reflective...M26 makes it deep...together it makes it dripping wet. This was my favorite combo by far when I had a black car.....and it lasts pretty long too which is good for a daily driver.



Edit: Sovereran Paste would possibly look a little better, but it wouldn't have the durability for a daily driver that I would want.
 
#26 will last longer and is pretty easy to use. Souveran is nice looking but dosen't hold up compared to alot of other waxes out there. at least their paste. I haven't really tried out their liquid version yet. I really like DP's Max Wax or Danase's Classic wax myself. Both are super easy on and off and both last pretty comparable to other waxes (4-6 weeks on average)
 
Both #26 and Souveran are great beauty waxes. Go for a good sealant like Blackfire, it just sheds dirt and dust.
 
Which one is more forgiving to imperfections? It is an 04 and has a few swirls and scratches. (I dont have a polisher so I do everything by hand)

Go with Collinite 915. Looks great on black and will last a long time.



I am a huge P21S fan and just tried Collinite # 915 for the 1st time because I wanted some long term protection for winter. Not as easy as P21S to remove but the look is close if not same for my Black Magnum
 
Liquid Souveran would work great or even the paste version.



Also a few sealants would look great on your black 4runner

Somewhat better? Is it a totally different look? I know the new liquid souveran laso has polycharger in it. Will that make it last significantly longer or change the look?

Liquid Souveran lasts way longer than the paste. It shines somewhat better than Megs #26. But, it's also way more expensive.



I guess that depends on your taste, Shiny is great on silver or white, deep and wet is great on black.

And what does #26 do? if I go that route, should I polycharge that too? Does it make a difference?



#26 is deeeeep and pretty wet. #16 is the one for lighter colors. On darks, it looks like you laminated the paint.
 
Collinite 845. It's liquid, it's stupid-easy to apply... just spread it thin and it goes forever, looks great on black, and has awesome durability. And.. it's cheap!



EDIT: Hadn't read all the thread and seen that you bought one. Collinite aside, good choice going with 26 over Souveran. Still, if you decide to try something else at some point, 845 would be a great choice.
 
Alos wondering if Polycharger would be somethign I should look into to add to the #26. I know it helps durablility, but does it do anything to the look of the wax?
 
Polycharger will not make #26 look better.

I voted other.



A 2004 4Runner Sport sounds like a daily driver. Buy some Collinite 845. Save some money and have great protection.
