Limited production 2012 High Voltage Yellow Scion tC 7.0

Here's a quick video I made before I go out and wash the Scion using GTechniq's G4-Wash

How we started out...
The Scion has arrived and it's really sunny outside so I took some pictures to show the true condition. I would place the condition of this car in Category #3 in my list of paint condition categories.

It's definitely not in Show Car Quality, nor Excellent Condition so it falls into Category #3 Good Condition.

I reference this so much on this forum and other touch points that it's come to the point where it's going to make things faster for me while typing to have a dedicated page with the picture on it...

A little info about this car from Kelley Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com/car-news/all-the-latest/2012-scion-tc-release-series-70-revealed/)


The newest addition to the seemingly endless limited-build offerings in its youth-oriented line, the 2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0 is slated to arrive in dealerships across the country later this summer supported by a promotional ad campaign that features Zeus himself, here serving in the role of the self-proclaimed “god of awesome.”

Like most of its Release Series kin, the new Scion tC 7.0 prioritizes show over go, starting with its exclusive High Voltage Yellow exterior color, effectively set off by a TRD body kit with custom front/rear valences and side sills, a black honeycomb grille insert and gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the 2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0 gets a unique black cloth interior with custom yellow accent trim elements, leather-wrapped steering wheel with yellow contrast stitching, and the first-ever appearance of a Smart Key keyless entry system that also includes prominent start/stop ignition button plus a numbered Release Series 7.0 badge on the console to denote where it falls in the 2,200-unit production run.


Like all 2012 Scion tCs, the Release Series 7.0 also is fitted with a new, 300-watt, eight-speaker Pioneer premium audio system that includes HD Radio, streaming audio capability, Bluetooth connectively and iPod/USB/AUX inputs.


Pricing for the 2012 Scion tC will start at $19,295 for cars fitted with the standard six-speed manual transmission and $20,295 for those with the optional six-speed automatic. The 2012 Scion tC Release Series 7.0 will open at $21,625 and $22,625 for manual and autoshifted models, respectively.

This is called Stretching (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/tricks-tips-techniques/25976-called-stretching.html)


The "Stretching Shot" is when you have all the doors, trunk lid, hood etc., opened up so you can wipe down and detail all the nooks and crannies on the car to remove any polish or wax residue.

Kind of the idea of how we stretch out only as it applies to a car...

Of course some cars look cooler than others when they're stretching...
