Hello again well we finally picked up the 04 04 XT3 D-4D yesterday. Really pleased with it.
We've had the Witter detachable tow bar fitted with twin wiring by our local Toyota dealer. Haven't managed to test it yet but looks the business. So a couple of questions: Any ideas on the best way to polish out small scratches typically around the door handles but also some on the spare wheel cover. And I'm planning to fit an iPod cable to the back of the radio - anchorman has written an excellent post on this but I just wondered if any one has any other tips to pass on - been looking at the DICE Toyota iPod Car Kit as a possible also what about wheel refurbishing? The front ones have been done but the back ones are going to need doing soon any recommendations? Many thanks |

Many thanks Hi Oldraver Ive found for the polishing out minor scratchers "Meguiars scratch X" is really good its around £8 a tube and has a mild cutting agent , then seal it in with a good wax . Sorry cannot help with any other but im sure some cleverer member will be along soon . Hope this helps . Mick |

I get it from the USA for half the price - another demonstration of use getting screwed! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN2OaW_q-Sw&feature=fvw |

Thanks for your responses - I'll look into this Meguiars stuff - is something you can get from Halfords for example?
