Which brand did you use for the ceramic tint ? I wanted to meter mine but my tinter didn't have a meter - so I'm left wondering what the meter reading would be.

I'm also thinking of chrome deleting - the chromes look pretty weird/bad to me.

I don't know the brand name. Just ceramic and lifetime warranty.
And it's wifey car so the chromes make some accents imo.

Dropped car off for ceramic. It may just be snake oil but it’s going to be my snake oil.

Exactly, it's pouring now and I live on a dirt road...the car gets muddy when it rains and dirty when it doesn't. Somewhat surprisingly, the Pearl White color does not show dirt as much as I thought it would...

Drove it through a car wash first time in a year. I hand wash every week but it's been so darn cold here, I broke down and spent $10 to get the salt off.

I have a 2023 RX and a 2013 as well. I've done absolutely nothing to the 2013, no ceramic, never wax it, just car wash off the salt when it gets bad, but after 12 years it still looks new after I wash it, not a hint of rust. Hope the 2023 proves to be similarly durable.
