never detailed a car before so i'm taking baby steps. just got done detailing my new '14 toyota corolla s. did the baggie test and it was smooth so i used Collinite 845 for my wax and used PERL on the tires. very happy with how everything turned out.

Toyota really did a good job with the new Corollas. Looks fantastic. Are those blinker mirrors stock? Wow, so many of us on a Toyota forum buy Venza blinkers and covers to make our own blinker mirrors, and they look the exact same! Great looking car!

I use PERL too. I ran it through one rain storm and it dulls down to my liking. But I used it undiluted as well, so I may dilute it 1:1 for next time to try that. Although I didn't think it was too glossy for my taste with it straight. I found it was really cool being able to touch the glossy tire 15 mins after application and it be 100% dry to the touch. Pretty cool!

Your car looks great, keep up the good work! And congrats on the new car!
