@ TPL thanks! Leather protector - any particular brand? I saw bowden's leather love and leather guard online. Has anyone used them before? http://www.bowdensown.com.au/interior-car-care Exterior - mothers brand steps 1-3, saw it in the internet as well as the RainX. Dashboard and door trims protector - any particular brand? Automatic CarWasher - are they not advisable? I heard the machines soft brushes are not good for the exterior. with our older car, we use both the automatic machine and the coin operated "manual you wash, you soap" kind of stuff ($2 for each cycle - pre wash, soap, rince, etc..) @ KRX and AVC40R, thanks! - any brand of the shampoo? as for the internal/external plastic, what brand are you using? we prefer cost effective ones. and Yes, the car is garaged. Thanks for the tips on the bonnet and headlamp protector. We're thinking of getting a towbar few months from now, any suggestions? Toyota will charge heaps so we're looking for someone to buy it/do it from. Im not sure if we can do it ourselves though cause it seems you have to cut-out some portion of the rear bumper (im not sure if im using the right term here). Fuel - is 91 OK? or should go 98? Cross Bar and Basket/Tray - plans to get it later. What will be a good brand? I saw Rhino, toyota, etc... on ebay. As for the tray, any brand will do? I saw this, im not sure if any good though but its surely cheap. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Toyota-Kluger-Aluminium-Roof-Rack-Basket-Tray-100-x-140-cm-Includes-Cross-Rails-/271179847859?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f239418b3 The rhino roof rack is quite expensive! Obviously, the roof rack will be used for extra storage, luggage if ever we will use the 3rd seats. Thanks everyone!
