I've been really pleased with the results using Zaino on everything
I've got a silver 2000 TTQ and a Forest Green 4 Runner. Both of them really shine when I'm done with them.
Of course this takes a considerable number of steps.
1. Clay bar paint
2. Porter Cable with Swirl Remover
3. Porter Cable and Polish
4. 3-4 coats of Zaino.
Results are almost mirrorlike.

Dang, one of us is copying the other one here without knowing it.
Same color, same wax, same interest in the telson, think we ended up bidding against each other on your 3.2 front spoiler(think that was you on Ebay), same BBK, same half dozen other things in your list of mods........ahh Haaaa, my V1 is hardwired so there!!!
Got any pics of those Starriser seats? How old/big are the kids? Work decent or do you end up hugging the steering wheel when there's a kid behind you? Currently have 2 in cheapo Target boosters and it's not ideal, the boys are 5 and 6.

What timing, I just got done putting Eagle 1 Nano on Brilliant black, not overly impressed,
I was hopeing to eliminate a glaze, no go, back to the IHG, and P21S.
I've given up trying to remove the swirls, just fill them in,

haha, just don't park next to me. but really, there's only a few things that actually
work with brilliant black...I've tried tons of other stuff, and this combo seems best. don't always use the menzerna...only if i have time or the car is really dirty.
we should trade notes.

got 4-1/2 yr old twins. airbag off up front...so one up front, other behind.
the star risers fit within the TT seats. fits very well...better than most booster seats, plus, they're black with gray inserts.
my V1 isn't hardwired...so you got me there!

Make sure you clay it first, and I suggest you get an Random Orbit polisher...
I got one a couple weeks ago, had never used one before, and was astounded by the results. Lowe's carries a Porter Cable for $99.
