Help on Swirl marks on my new FRS - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

xcooperx · 02-10-2015, 01:14 AM

Got my new frs a week ago, then I went back to Toyota to submit some stuff that they need for my records, the salesman that assisted me on buying my frs offered me a free car wash, so I say alright, the next day at my work I noticed that my new asphalt frs has some swirl marks all over (hood, roof etc ) that is only noticeable when sun is reflecting on it. The thing though is , it bothers me so im looking for some advice on how to fix the thing. should I just DIY or just go to a detailer? How much does it usually cost to fix it?

take it to Rhino Detailing in HB, they will take care of you. A detail will bring your car to a better than when you bought it condition.

Opticoat is usually $400 and they detail your car before applying it. I would recommend just going with the Opticoat instead of buying a detail and then Opticoating at a later time. An exterior detail should be less than $100 but if you just want them to clear up your hood they can work something out. They don't try to upsell.

I paid about 300 for my new frs to get detailed and opti-coated. Mine was only on the lot for a few days but still had some imperfections.

No doubt take it to Rhino!

My new FRS is going to them next week for Opticoat Pro and Clear bra.

Bitch to the dealership and get them to pay for the detail; they know their car washes are shit. Next time, put a stickie on the steering wheel saying, "DO NOT WASH."

Get a quote from a reputable detailer, and have the dealership pay it; don't use their guy, they usually suck.

Johnny-8-bucks-an-hour and his dirty shop rag should be nowhere near your soft paint.
