    Wow. I haven’t seen a magnet do that kind of damage/discolouration. Based on the reflections in the paint, your paint looks to be in good condition too. I’d be surprised if polish helps at all. My best advice would be to find another sticker and cover it up.

    And it only did it to the passenger side! There is a spot on my tailgate where you can see evidence of my Autism Awareness ribbon magnet with that magnet removed, but it's nowhere near as bad as this; I've managed to polish out evidence left by the autism magnet in the past.

    Good thing I like my police flag magnets and have no plans to get rid of them unless they fade and wear out with time, and I have to replace them!

    Also, the truck was involved in two separate accidents (one my fault and one not) that required repainting. The left rear fender was totally destroyed when a drunk driver in a Mercedes ran a stop sign and hit the truck; The whole fender had to be replaced, and obviously that new fender had to be repainted. I sideswiped a Prius while changing lanes and dented the front left fender. The fender was repainted; If you look at my truck, you can tell the slight difference in paint hue. The body shop's work is actually of a higher caliber than the Toyota factory paintjob! My truck has probably spent less than a week of its entirely life in a garage, though I do wash it fairly often; I am amazed that the paint still looks this good after more than eleven years!

    So a friend of mine who has AS and is a bigger HVAC nut than I am confirmed my suspicions; My boss's Kenmore is early 2000s (specifically 2001-2003)...

    It drives and rides really nicely, very well made, very stylish, lots of bells and whistles, has a good sized cargo area with an electric liftgate, you can fold-flat the back seats with just pulling on a strap on each side from the cargo area and the seats are spring loaded and fold flat without any effort if you need more space.

    Im sure there are other grocery getters just as useful, I just really liked it. Her name was Keiko...

    It was primarily my wifes daily driver but it was good on road trips. She got the Accord when we traded the RX-350 for the Tacoma

    The one thing I do not like about the RX, at least the ones built before features like Bluetooth and backup cameras caught on, is that it is virtually impossible to install an aftermarket stereo; This why my grandma sold her 2002 RX300 with less than 90K miles in 2019!

    Chandelier was installed in 1996 when they bought the house; Medallion was installed in 2003, and he put a date on the medallion this time to commemorate the reinstall...
