2019 Prius Prime Plus.

The owner requested for the vehicle to be protected against rock chips. During the same visit, he also wanted the paint to be corrected and ceramic coated for easier maintenance.

Products used:
Optimum Ferrex
TLD’s Last Cut Compound Glaze
Optimum Hyper Polish
CarPro Eraser
CarPro Essence
CQuartz UK 3.0
McKee37’s SiO2 Tire Shine
Rupes MKIII LHR15
Rupes LHF75E
Rupes Yellow Foam Polishing Pads

Depending on the panel, either TLD’s Last Cut Compounding Glaze or Optimum Hyper Polish was used for correction. Both products finished LSP-ready as long as the pad was cleaned with compressed air after each polishing cycle.

All of the painted surfaces that were not being wrapped received a 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] step with CarPro Essence; Essence really brought gloss to the next level.

The entire front-end of the car (full hood, full fenders, bumper, mirrors and lights) was wrapped (not by me). And these are pictures of the car after the PPF and 1 thick coat of CQuartz UK 3.0 were applied:

What's with those purple stickers? And you did a nice job on the detail but there's really nothing one can do to make that car look good.

Looks better than the previous Prius.

Is that a California plate? Can't quite make it out.

But here in NY, we have similar ones in white that state the car is a "Clean Pass" vehicle.

Let's you drive solo in the HOV lanes.

Not like anyone would want to ride with you anyway........ :laughing::laughing:
 
Yes, California plates. But damn, having to put an ugly sticker on every side of the car for HOV lanes? I’d sit in traffic before I put those stickers on my car.

If you lived here in Southern Cal, you wouldn’t say that. Rush hour started 20 years ago and there’s no end in sight.
The stickers are only available for certain makes/ models, so it’s likely that the sticker is what determined the choice of car. At least that’s the rationale for the program anyway.
 
Prius came out nice! I think the only person that likes the new Chevy trucks is the one who designed that ugly thing.
