Just a few days, and the bird poo leaves scar on the paint protection. I thought the paint protection will protect from bird poo, but it is not,.

In XPack, they have a paint spot bottle, and a high gloss bottle.. The instruction there is not very clear. Could someone else teach me how to remove bird poo scar on top of paint protection surface, my car is just 2 months ago.

I am not sure whether I should bring this to warranty, since they told me the paint protection will protect from bird poo, but it is not...

So you cleaned the bird poo off as soon as you noticed it???

I would go back to the dealer and get them to explain the product, its performance and upkeep

But you do know that the Paint protection is not what it claims itself to be!

Take to the dealer and ask for a full run down so you have confidence in the product(sic)

X pack is a dealer after market paint protection and like 99.99% on the market it is a money making gimmick. the only thing that will protect your car from damage fro bird poo etc etc is a roof on your garage lol.

I get it all the time at work with people coming in and saying "i want no wax as I have paint protection on my car". I think to myself suckers as they forked aout a fortune for a polish/wax that I could do for $60. BMW charges $2600 for paint and leather protection so my customers tell me which is a crime as if the leather gets dirty you take the car back to BMW and they clean it for you otherwise it voids your warranty. Yes they charge you for the clean which is crazy and as far as the paint protection goes it ain't much better.

Best protection for your paint is don't park under a tree park out in the sun. Yeah you might get some fading occur but if you kep the polishing and wax up to it you will have far far less damage in the long run than having bird and bat poo eating away at your paint's surface.

My tip is the start of each weather season do a clay bar, polish then seal it with a wax and your car will stay looking sensational for a long time.....

You have a lifetime warranty.... use it. that's what it is there for. The paint protection in the Xpacki is liquid glass with titanium dioxide in it. "self cleaning properties" i would only ever buy the xpack and never use wax or those other paint protections.

Well, I have had this protection pack applied to my car and i paid $2550 for it. I can see the difference!

every 2 yeas i turn my cars over and my last one didnt have it on there and it was so hard to keep clean.. i found that when i washed it after driving on the highway the only thing that would get the bugs off my paint was a heavy truck de greaser and that truck degreaser fadded my paint!

now with the xpack i can wash my car at the car wash and they come right off, and they dont leave those annoying marks on the front any more!!

look i dont know about you guys but the stuff came with a life time warranty, if it doesnt work than it wouldnt come with a life time warranty they would be broke now!!

if you are having troubles than take it back thats why you have the warranty.. or call motorone in sydney they are the company that warrants it..

:)

my car looks and feels amazing and its been 2 years latter..

Totally agree with you on this one (even though I'm a year late!). I've also had great experiences with these types of products, I've always disliked spending too much time washing/waxing/polishing my car and with xpack all it takes is a quick easy wash and its as shiny as new.

I think with the bird poo comment, what we have hear is a misunderstanding of the product. I was told that the product protects against bird poo if you wash it off asap. If you leave it on too long the poo will corrode the paint and there is nothing they can do (bird poo is sooo corrosive it will eat through pretty much anything if it has the time). Best thing to do is wash it off asap and then use a xpack spot cleaner – I got mine in a reward pack the dealership gave me when purchasing the product.

But yeah I guess any problems its always best to call the supplier as mentioned in the above email, I'me sure they will be more then happy to assist.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
