I really like the Starfire Pearl paint. I just purchase a preowned 2010 GX 460. The paint is in great condition. Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep this paint looking great?

I have the same color. My routine is : Wash gently with Meguire's Gold Class, Claybar with either Mother's or Zymol, wax with Meguire's White Wax. I clay bar at least twice a year and wax about every 2-3 months. I use Simple Green diluted instead of wheel cleaner on the wheels. Any good quality tire dressing will do depending on how much gloss you like. I also use Back to Black on the running boards and inside the tailgate to prevent those whitish deposits. If you have ecru inside you will get blue on there from jeans. Wash with a ten to one dilution of Woolite in cold water, then use Meguire's Leather Conditioner. For the rest of the interior (dash, etc.) use Einsett Cockpit Premium interior cleaner - leaves a nice matte finish just like it came from the factory. It also is safe for nav screens, etc. I use the two bucket system with grit guards when washing and dry with a Jelly Blade and real Chamois. Nothing looks better than a white one when it is shined up. I am not a pro or any kind expert. Just know that I get good results with the above. I order a lot of stuff from Autopia and a little bit from Griots Garage but Griots is hella expensive. One last thing get yourself some really good floor liner mats. Weathertech's or Husky. I have the Weathertech's- but they were a gift so I did not have to worry about cost there. The cleaner you keep it, the easier it is to keep clean! It pays off at trade time too, my trade in (2007 Sequoia Limited) was on the dealer' slot less than two hours. I got way above average trade in because they knew it would sell quickly. Good luck and enjoy your vehicle.
