Washing and Car Washes

[Wynter]

Which protective coating did you get? Can you post a video of it beading?

Here's my reply from the dealer:

Thank you for your email.
We suggest not waxing the vehicle because the paint sealant is a thick wax itself that has been applied to the unit to provide a barrier from the environment into the paint. The wax that we applied stops sunlight from fading the paint surface. It stops acid from bird droppings and tree sap from penetrating the paint surface. When combined the Rust module and Paint Sealant give our clients the 5 year surface rust warranty which you wont get with any under body or around body oil spray.
With the First Canadian module no additional rust protection in required.
I will tell you that NOT ALL MODULES are the same. The First Canadian module that we have installed on your car works when moisture is present AND when it is not. The warranty that you have on the car is 10 years on your inside out and 5 years on your outside in. Oil spray is 0 warranty in most cases.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Always here and happy to answer any questions that you may have.

The car is almost 3 months old, and still beads with the rain today:

Well. I can attest it must be doing something because mine doesnt bead like that.

Which reminds me. I need to wax my poor girl.

Did you buy the extra paint protection? According to the dealers reply that I posted, it's a 'thick' layer of wax. I was told the car was hand washed before delivery; well whoever did that needs glasses as they didn't see the marks or they figured I wouldn't notice. Well I did and now I have a chrome tip, hood deflector and mud guards on their penny; and now they're giving away a 30K Rogue for mothers day.

Will do! When my son was here to put on some of my new 'toys', he showed me the small indents where you'll need to drill for the rear flaps. He'll be here tomorrow to finish and I'll see if I can get a shot today with the tires on, I think it will work, or if it's better with the tire off. He said the fronts are SO easy, as ptbo mentioned. Here he is doing his handywork!

micra2080: I'll get a shot of the indents and the holes after they're drilled for you tomorrow.

[micra2080]

No i didn't take the extra paint protection, they wanted to charge me 1.2k for it and I don't have that money...

Do you have to take those rear tires out to drill the back??

I have many toys being delivered to me from ebay.. it was chinese new years when i ordered them.. it's taking... soooo much time to arrive.. .
