First off, I am no professional detailer posting here with a sudden turnaround. Just a meticulous guy with a new Black Toyota Yaris HB (the 40mpg DD) I wanted to lightly clean after it got salt dust and regular dust all over it. I just hand washed it in 12 degree weather 3 days ago. Today, it`s a sweltering 17 in the sun! Warm enough to use the PB`s WW and QW+ though, since the car is black.



The WW worked well, but that freakin sprayer that PB`s gives you is more than worthless. How am I supposed to evenly cover a area before wiping off with a STREAM??!! Anyways, my car was clean enough to lightly squirt (haha) and lightly wipe over the surface. It appeared to leave no marring, however, I`m not so sure this product is more than a glorified QD`er rather than a true WW product. I`d NEVER use this on a dirty car, I`d use ONR instead. The PB`s WW did leave behind a nice, slick surface.



I then followed up with the PB`s Quick Wax+, a truely amazing product IMO. It`s possible to spray it on, but not without a good sprayer (which I obviously didn`t have), so I used the regular top and applied it very lightly like a liquid wax with my blue MF app pad from autogeek. It actually hazed over VERY quickly and I then wiped it off with my new Cobra Delux Jr MF towel, wow!, that`s a nice MF towel. Pics are below, the one of the driver`s side real taillight area is a left side pre WW/right side post WW shot, with no QW+ applied.

Oh yeah, the car is a metallic black, so that`s not dust you`re seeing....although in about 10 min it will be. :(

That had me laughing pretty good. :chuckle: And you`d think someone 6`3" 230+ like me wouldn`t fit, but it has surprising room for such a tiny car.

Thanks man! The car came with the steelies and lame hubcaps, so I figure at least rock the steelies vs the hubcap look. I might get some light 16`s in the summer. Trying not to `pimp` out the daily too much though. :woot:



I just got some lowering springs for it with a 1.9" drop front/rear, so once I install those, get black lugs, black out the front/rear "Toyota" badges, get the 20% tint, and give it a proper clay and detail, I`ll repost pics and it should look much better.

I`m so used to driving suv`s that when I get in some friends cars I`m like "uhhh tiny" lol. Unless its a sports car then thats different.

haha yeah, the headroom is what it has the most of. If I was any taller, I wouldn`t have enough legroom though.
