When you say Factory Tint we call it privacy glass in Australia and it's just a black ink that they put into the glass. There is no tint film on the glass and does not block out UV or heat typically the front passenger/ driver's side are not done so you have to match.
In my state of Tasmania it's 20% except pass driving side is 35%

Yeah, I remember that now, the FJ has privacy glass on all glass except the front doors and windscreen, and the front door windows are tinted to match, a pretty good match as well.
You can put a tint strip on the windscreen, there is a small mark that you can't go legally go below. I wouldn't bother on the FJ, it's already a bit like driving an armoured car. The sun visors are so far out in front that they give you separate side ones for side sun protection.

Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?
I haven't driven the FJ much, we've been in a Covid lockdown since last week, but it's rained a couple of times and the dust spots were starting to accumulate, so time for a wash.
2B wash with Mother's California Gold, then dried with Bowden's After Glow. Nothing special required on the wheels as they only had dust spots as well. I then decided to put some Meg's Quikwax on it, D'OH, I forgot Quikwax could be applied while I was drying it. I could have saved myself a step.
Just a random bit of info, I had my pedometer ap going in my phone, start to finish was 3421 steps. That includes set up, wash, dry, wax, taking some pics, and packing up when I was done.

Hey BD have you ever thought of a Round LED upgrade for the headlights?
ADR approved of course Great White Light's and Stdie do a set

I've actually tried 2 different sets of LED H4 replacements, non ADR, but the light pattern was inconsistent, bright though, in places. I never knew there ADR approved complete units, I'll check them out.
