I have only had the opportunity, due to bad weather and the ever-present work , to apply one coat of Klasse AIO to my new Prius, and it already really shines! I plan to add at 2-3 coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze ASAP. So far, I am happy with this product. Using Concours and Sonus MF towels, and happy with those so far as well.

I did have some rough places, felt like pinpricks, from the fuel door area and up just to the roof on both sides. The polish did not remove them. Can't visibly see anything. Have ordered the Sonus ultra-fine clay bar kit and will try it after winter or if have time and a good day, may go ahead and do it and re-apply the AIO just to these areas. I have no idea what this could be? Wondering if it could be where water splashed up on both sides of the transport truck? (acid rain effect??) It was raining a lot when my car was being brought to the dealership.

Here's the link to two photos: http://forum.bettercarcare.com/gallery/sho...o=211&nocache=1

I love to drive it! It turns so tight. I especially love leaving my keys in my purse all the time!

The sound system sucked at first, then I turned the treble and bass down almost to the midlevel, and faded the speakers to mostly back, just a couple bars past midway. It's much better for the soft rock/rock stations I listen to, and my CD's.

Have appt to tint the windows for Saturday (Llumar ATR 15 CH SR HPR, which is a dyed/metal combination with lifetime warranty and installer says will not interfere with nav, because has a lesser amount of metal and also placement of nav port). Have mudguards & rear bumper protector on order (PM me for the cheapest place I found), and dealer is throwing in the all-weather mats (also on order).

Question: Where do I get instructions on how to use the HomeLink with my garage door opener? I could not find anything in the manual...did I miss it?

I think you might have missed it in the manual but, as another option, you can visit the homelink site (www.homelink.com) and find specific instructions for the Prius there.

Wow, even the picture looks good. Probably better in person. Hope to see after the tint. Black and tint together is great looking.

Now I want black.....

I don't know if you had seen earlier posts but the sound is WAY better if you disconnect the center speaker on the dash.
