    Got a fresh coat of wax on her. I'm curious if anyone else waxes their windows?

    I don't wax it, but I put sealant down on the windshield when I seal the cars twice a year.

    I wax my windshield. I also put wax in my headlights. I hear and not sure if it's correct but waxing plastic headlamps keeps it from getting all worn out. My parents have a 2011camry I been waxing the headlamps since they first got it and still looks brand new.

    I wax my windows a few times a year. Waxing the headlights is an absolute must

    What type of wax do you use on the headlights? This seems like a really good idea and I've now considered it

    Any kind is good but I normally use Wolf Gang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0. It's a really good, long lasting synthetic wax

    Looks good! I haven't waxed the windows, but I did the wheels, easier to clean.

    Good looking rig! I crack my wife up.. I like taking care of my things and esp. with a new truck I keep it shiny most of the time. We have a garage at home and I park in an underground garage in the city, so the majority of it's outside time is on kayaking/camping weekends which are frequent for us. I love sloshing through the mud and getting it all dirty using it for intended purpose. Then as soon as I get home, the process ensues - wash, spray wax (full detail about every 3 months), windows, 303 the black trim, wheel wells, wheels, tires, floor mats, etc.,

    I see it as a challenge!

    Check out https://www.indyfjcruisers.com/the-store/ they have an awesome selection of badges. Most of his stuff is geared towards FJ's and T4R's but also lots of TRD and other cool badges that would look great on Tacoma's.

    The only modification I needed to make was replaced the smaller washer that came with my badge, with a 2" washer and then it fit perfect.

    Scott the owner is very helpful, and a pleasure to do business with!
