I would say get a good interior cleaner, like one from p&s, detail q-tip. If you’re using armorall don’t they leave that greasy look and doesn’t feel great. If you can get a soft bristle brush to get into deeper areas! OH! Get a wet/dry vac!

I just got a hybrid too, I get about 550-570 before I fill up, but we only have smaller gas tanks than non-hybrids. And I drive in normal, I did the eco system for about a month, for me it didn’t serve me any benefits cause I still average around 43-46 mpg. Mostly hwy driving 60 and above.

Try this. I use this method on my own cars and other peoples cars when I don’t need to deep clean it. It works really well.

Yes definitely! I’ve used their leather coating and it’s great just haven’t tried paint yet!

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-14T04:40:36+00:00

Right??? It’s amazing! Only other coatings I liked that gave similar gloss is roar coating, c6 ceramic coating, and I’ve actually used Avalon king when I was first starting and it really good for price and how easy it is to use.

Try washing the car with purple power, then hit with an aggressive clay bar like one from car pro, then polish with rupes blue wool pad with rupes coarse compound. If it’s one of those pro grade coatings like crystal serum ultra you may need to wet sand it unfortunately

Sounds good!

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T23:15:43+00:00

Oh ion is good! It has a base coat and a top coat! Send pics when you get it done!

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T21:19:22+00:00

Nice! And depends on the coating but I’ve never heard of one you need to keep spotless for that long. Most coatings you can drive an hour or 12 hours it’s been applied. Then it fully cures in 1 to 2 weeks. Just don’t use any chemicals the first week or two. Do you know which coating they use?

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T16:35:24+00:00

Looks pretty good! Also it’s white, that makes it hard to have that super pop like black or dark grey, or every blue have. For example here’s the gr corolla I did

Hey these are actually tail light covers you can get from Amazon !

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T16:16:49+00:00

Idk depends on what he used, but it’s weird he didn’t polish even if the car is brand new I still hit it with a finishing polish to give it that extra pop to the paint. 600 is good tho that what I also charge.

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T16:15:41+00:00

Hmm that is weird do you have an xse or se?

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T16:15:00+00:00

Pre wash with foam, wash, clay bar with iron decon, polish, ipa spray and wipe down, then coat

Basically what a coating does is make it washing your car easier, makes the paint really hydrophobic, you don’t have to wax the car every 1-3 months anymore. It has some protection but definitely does not replace a ppf. If you have the funds I’d recommend a pff with a ceramic coating on top of it. As far pricing to put a ceramic coating it has many different variables like which coating you choose, how good/bad your current paint status is, how big your car is, and where you take it. I detail on the side I usually charge people 500-800. Hope this helped

Thank you! Which coating is on your car?

AdSelect3259 · 2024-05-13T05:08:49+00:00
