Regular car wash, or Dealer car wash? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

TW Ice Wax= sexy Yaris.
I was expecting a little more of a "color depth" but I'm quite satisfied with the end result. Probably is the color though since I've heard that Silver is a tough color for waxes.

Crap man! I gotta try this Turtle Wax ICE product! For real, never had waxed a car myself, maybe I should think about trying, see what I think of the results.

Sounds really impressive, the results, and it sounds pretty easy to do.

What does TW ICE go for, if you dont mind me asking, and a microfibre towel?

Buy the TW ICE Kit.

For $14 USD you get a bottle of the ICE Wax, a Microfiber applicatior, and a Microfiber towel!

You use so little, its crazy! I have done my Yaris a bunch of times, as well as my Nissan Armada, and I've just now made a dent in the Wax! You'll understand when you use it...

for me the safest car washing is washing your car by yourself

wash your car once or twice a week i guess it is fine....but sometimes we need to consider the weather....

Meguiars new polycoat nxt or ntx 15 a little change at Wal mart. Best of the best deep wet look. Well worth every dime.

What should I do. Dealer car wash, or regular old school car wash????

Let me know what you think!

First off, the ONLY time I'd ever consider taking any car of mine through a car wash would be to get an undercarrige spray to get rid of salt, and even then it would have to be a brushless wash. The brushes at the car washes put spider web scratches in the paint. Other than that, I wash strictly by hand only.

slvryaris · 07-17-2007, 04:10 PM

I would do it myself.

sherryberry · 07-17-2007, 05:37 PM

I need to wash my yaris soon.. although i think it's only been 2 weeks but still!

The Karate Kid never used an orbital buffer and look at the ass he could kick

. If I ever got into a fight I'd have to make sure I had a long enough extension cord.

All good advice. I will make the trip to pick up some ICE. I live in an apartment so a hose and water are difficult to wrangle. I wonder when my neighbor is going on vacation?

I have gone to the self-serve very early a.m. and bucket washed it. The manager doesn't mind as long as there is no line waiting for me and my bucket to get outta there.

Anyone use the leaf blower to dry the car in a snap?

I'd personally wash it myself..

but considering my car's condition since it has been in the workshop for the past 3 weeks coming this monday..

and the by the looks of it... i'll probably send it to a detailer to get it spankingly clean again.. ;)

Maybe we should have a national wash-your-yaris day

Meteorite Man · 07-21-2007, 11:35 AM
