That should work. I scrubbed some wax smudges off with Windex and an
old cotton towel.

They make a 'detailing' spray you can get at Autozone. i don't know what
it's called at AZ, but it'll be 'Instant Detailer' or something like that.
Spray it on and let it sit.

We had the 'ding bars' bars added before we took ownership (cost ~ $80)
and the black 'stripes' look quite stylish against the Driftwood body IMHO.
While not perfect they have done well to protect us from a few door and
carriage attacks.

So the Toyota dealer can do this? I guess you can't comment
