Garm sells a Canadian mkt hood deflector. I have it about a year now and it looks and protects quite well.

Any difference in durability with paint color, or basic color vs. 'metallic'? My old Corolla has tough black paint that often gets scuffed, but seldom scratched through.

The clear coat on my car got all scuffed up when I scrubbed some bug spots a bit too hard with a cheap sponge... I haven't tried the scratchx yet - but I'm guessing that will help.
Is there any specific wax or polish that I can use to help protect the paint a bit better? |

Hi everyone - I'm having the EXACT problem. I have '07 Red yaris hatchback. My whole front bumper is completely white. The dealership said someone has replaced my bumper when I got it fixed in the past. Believe me, the person who fixed my car did not have enough time to re-order a new bumper.....I've talk to Toyota Canada and the GM at my dealership and they still won't do anything but give me a discount on repainting it. Do you think it's worth talking to a lawyer? I do have a mechanic that would back me up on this.

The paint def sucks - my Yaris 2010 is just a bit over 2 months old - and after 6 days a week of commuting (250KMs a day) - the front is starting to show signs of wear - I am eagerly waiting 2 see what you guys are going to do - at some point I know I'm going to have to attempt a warranty claim
