It's oxidation on the headlights.

It acts as a polishing compound.
Nice car OP!

How does your driver's seat look? How about the pedals, much wear on them?

interior, pedals, seats, steering wheel are in excellent condition except for the driver's side carpet has a big hole all the way thru to the floor pan from where my right heel rests when I get in and out the car.

Can I use Aquafresh Whitening? or Crest Pro Health for Gingivitis, Plaque and Tartar?.....lol
Just kidding! I'll definitely try it.
Thanx!

has your check engine light come on anytime during your miles?

Seriously it works....I have used it on my sister '96 accord and my dads mazda 3 and it cleaned them up pretty good.

My CEL never came on under any normal circumstances. It came on one time when I was experimenting with a bigger intake pipe. But went back off after I re-installed my weapon r intake.

It's oxidation on the headlights.
McGuires have a good product to buff up the headlights. Use a power buffer and voila!
I'm surprised that at that mileage there is still any paint remaining. Yaris paint being so fragile.

Awesome! I remember your video of going over 300k.
Its nice to know there is an example of quality level you can expect to receive from our cars. I have 70k with no issues at all, I hope i can go as long as you have, if the salt around here doesn't eat the car from around me lol.

The car looks great for that amount of mileage. Hopefully the rest of ours will last that long. I'm glad to see that my bra isn't the only one that doesnt fit as tight as it should. Wish toyota had come out with one.

Toyota manager fussed at me. My Yaris is year old and I finally have 6,000 miles on it. Never had a problem....Manager said, " If you don't drive this car, I will!" Love my Yaris.so much fun

Trust me it will. I've had mine for ~3 years and I already have 140,000km (86,000 miles), and this is with driving in the northern Ontario winters ... I've never been stuck yet!!

Well that's good to know about winters! I was a little concerned about going with a smaller car for the winter time. But I guess as long as your have the right kinda tires on, I should be ok....
What do you put on in the winter or any other specifics you do to be winter ready?

Too lazy to look back, but, what is your commute that you have this many miles on the car? Meaning 400 miles a day, but all highway or a mix?
I need to post this up on another Forum that is doubting your claim to being on the original brakes and such.
Aothachos posted your 300K mark a while ago on there.
They're just hating lol.

Wow, impressive! You must do a crapton of driving to accumulate that many miles in 3 years haha. It makes me happy to think that my Yaris has a good chance of lasting into multiple hundreds of thousands of miles. You should try to get it to 500k!

I drive up and down South FL twice a day. 85% hwy.
And have the HATERS contact any manager at the following dealership for any doubts that they may have concerning my brakes and clutch being original.

lol, hopefully mine holds up this well, mine just recently became a business car, will be putting just over 2000 miles a month on the car.
Those who hate on the idea its an factory clutch.... Think, if you jump on the highway, and ride it out no matter what in 5th gear, there should be 0 clutch wear. So if you stay on the highway for 100 miles straight, that's a lot of time and miles where nothing is effecting the clutch. Unless your downshifting to pass every car along the way.
Any plans to retire your Yaris at any given point, like when it hits 500,000?
The dealership, hell even Toyota USA should give you another car free, and use this one as a promotional item.
