    The clay bar will pull off some of the embedded dirt particles, sap, etc. from the car’s paint. Follow it up with a wax job and the surface will be as smooth as a baby’s butt.

    We got the 2021 XLE a week ago. 875E7BFB-8CD7-4DAD-BEF5-7B4502EFDF5B.jpeg A6526C4B-257A-4D3E-A1B3-17D0D885317F.jpeg D40529DD-730B-4DC4-BB7E-E5BB8D91E96E.jpeg 3D017479-E1A1-4A57-A655-5B4D3068B9DF.jpeg BF271DD9-4C13-4F69-A671-5A38DF2CCB0C.jpeg We love it a lot.
    Below is we have done to the car:
    - Take out the wheel cover.
    - Tint the window.
    - Replace interior light with white LED
    - Plasti dip emblems except the front one with radar sensor.

    Please update if this works whenever you find out. Just purchased my PP 2 weeks ago and was blinded by the screen driving on the highway. Looking for a solution to the glare myself.

    The anti-glare screen didn’t do much good. The screen is still pretty unreadable when the sun hits it at the wrong angle. It makes for a decent screen protector so it’s not a total waste.

    Yeah I was trying to follow my navigation on the screen and the sun glaring made it near impossible. Appreciate the update.

    Ditto. I wanted one mounted permanently in my car port at home and to have one in the car when traveling.

    FWIW, I found the exact same Toyota cable on E-Bay for way, way less than what Toyota charges.

    Craigslist was a good source for a second cord:).

    $80 ain't too bad for convenience;).

    There are worse ways to spend money(y).

    Added the ability to fast charge:):

    6C4AC0D9-9E29-4345-AAE3-1781C5DD27ED.jpeg

    50 amp ran from the electrical box to the junction box in the picture. 20 amp run to the plug ;).

    Ready for the future upgrade :).

    Thanks again @burnout8488 for the cable and outlet(y).

    It’s amazing what cell phones can do with pics these days (making some assumptions here). It’s somewhat reminiscent of tilt-shift lens trickery with focus; the thrown-out-of-focus background makes it look like a miniature toy car. At least for me lol.

    (I’m thinking I might get one of those “what are you doing posting in the middle of the night” queries, but you’re in the same time zone lol.)

    I at least have a reason to be up this early: I still work and get up early to beat traffic;).

    But you appear to burn both ends of the candle still:whistle:.

    At least we benefit here for that(y).

    Vacuumed and scrubbed the carpets with carpet foam today (mostly just the front footwell areas).

    I find this generation's carpet tends to hold dirt better than previous ones... or maybe my vacuum is getting weak.

    I have OEM Canadian all-weather mats :).

    I'm cleaning the mousefur near the footrests and other places that the mats don't cover.
