Default What 5 things would you recommend on a TCH?

Guys I was wondering what are the top 5 things i need to do to my TCH to keep it in good condition?

I was suggested a Clear Bra (3m) coating...how is that?
anything else?

* Meguiar's or other brand clay bar -- for prepping the paint before applying wax (I recommend Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax, but that's just a personal preference.)

* Digital tire gauge -- for keeping your tires at the optimal pressure (improves gas mileage and tire wear/life.)

* Windshield sun shade -- for protecting the dash and front seats from the sun's rays when parked in your driveway, parking lots, etc.

* Aftermarket, high quality window tint (professionally installed, not do-it-yourself) -- optional. I still haven't done this to my Ford Escape Hybrid but, living in Texas, I need to.

*

1) fix the center console squeek
2) fix the door rattles
3) fix the window rattle
4) fix the rear deck rattle when the bass is thumping
5) add a nice looking ho' to the passenger seat while cruising w/40 MPG

i have not got any rattles but was washing the back window this weekend and bumped the vent duct on the rear shelf and it had a rattle to it when bumped. this vent duct is to cool the battery pac in trunk. should not be too hard to find and insulate with felt or foam.
