Can't wait to hear about how that product does. I might just have to buy it since I drive on the freeway/highway more oven than usual now.

Why not invest in a spraygun (or at least get clear spraycans), sandpaper, etc. and occassionally......?????? Guess I'm to oldschool to rely on every new gadget lol.

I have yet to see Yaris with one of those awful Black Pleather Sport Bras.

Hey I must have missed the card board mod, I'd opt for a duct tape bra myself, especially on a silver model, it would meld nicely
If my front bumper gets fucked up I've already decided I'll prep it prime it and have the whole thing coated in tuff liner maybe the rear too, or cheap out and spray it flat black, easy to touch up

Not everybody has room for a compresser and a dust/wind free location available to spray thier own cars. At the base motor hobby club you can do body work but cant spray because of inadequate ventilation, so a temp like this washable stuff is a good solution if it works

]I know the Yaris is cheap but holy crap is the factory paint thin!
I have MAJOR chips on my hood after 2 months of ownership. This car is going to need repainting after a year of this.[/QUOTE] I don't know where your car was painted, but mine is very fine after allmost a year of romanian roads which are very primitive... 'till now i have been showered with stones but my little baby is ok, except for the paint chiped by a overgrown panda... The paint is relatively cheap and it should't put a great dent in your wallet. Chears! |

stone chips!
+ 1 on the stone chips. 20,000 miles and 1 years later, i also have a couple on the hood of the car. I drive 75% of my miles on i-95 from jacksonville to orlando. Just curious if anyone knows if carbon fiber hoods are more durable?

I've only got two large scratches near the windshield that I think I caused myself when removing ice from my car over the winter and a tiny dent on my driver side door that looks like it was my fault but I don't recall hitting anything while opening it at any point. Otherwise, it's fine. And there's some bad roads in my area. A lot of construction has been going on as well so there's a ton of dug up roads with loose stones everywhere. One of the worst sounds is hearing all of them hit the bottom of your car as your tires kick them up.

They are still clear coated, so no extra duribility, just when the clear is chipped away there will be CF underneath that will not rust.... so in a way it is more durable

Check this out...I actually drive about 16 kms per day (total) on gravel. This is after less than one year of owning the car... I will likely repaint with a rubberized undercoating so that this doesn't look so nasty.

Don't know if it's been mentioned in other threads but has anybody tried ClearBra? I am definatly going to have this installed to both bumpers and possibly the hood as well.

^^I totally agree. I may not have a Yaris but my ECHO is just as bad or seems like it. Everytime I wash my car I see more and more dings or chips in my hood or bumper but mostly my hood. So I have to spot paint it but this is rediculous! So I now have little spots of touch up paint all over the hood, and that makes the car beautiful
Yeah it pisses me off too. I can understand your pain, especially since your car is newer so thats even more a slap in the face.
