    After a month and a half I got a chance to wash and wax the car with some Collinite 845. I also had my tint done a few weeks ago. Here are some pics.

    Very nice. Is that a 70% ceramic tint?

    Thanks. It made a noticeable difference on the heat level inside. I like the looks afterwards as well.

    I am not sure what percentage it was; could be 70%. But the brand is Rayno Phantom (either S5 or S7). I really like it.

    Previously for my truck I had done the 3M Crystalline (with the darkest tint) and the visibility on the back window was so poor especially at night. No such problems with this one and it looks really dark as well.

    It's so refreshing to see a 4th gen in silver. I got tinting too. Yours looks great!

    Best colour and no problems getting paint, Tyrol Silver as it's known here in the UK has been around since the Gen 2 (maybe even Gen 1 ?).

    Here, it's been around since 2006 (called Classic Silver Metallic). 2004-2005 used Millennium Silver (darker silver). Gen 1 had Silver Sand Metallic (touch of beige mixed in)

    Thanks for the compliment. I was not a fan of silver up until I saw some silver prii online. Then I decided to buy silver. So far I love the color!

    It looks clean for longer too, doesn't show the dirt like dark or very light colours, I chose silver because basically I'm too lazy to wash my car often.

    Sounds like a good reason to choose silver. Lol

    Beautiful ride you got.

    I'll trade you the Silver for my Blizzard Pearl... that manages to only stay clean for ONE day after washing!
    (Who the heck talked me into WHITE?! :ROFLMAO:)

    I got the darkest tint possible with 99% UV reflection, and my Prius still feels like an oven inside. (The brand name is Llumar.) I'd hate to get in that car with NO tint. It's parked outside 24/7. No garage. But that's Ok, the great gas mileage I get (and the beautiful coastal scenery) makes up for me being baked to death! :eek:
