Nanocoating "Toyota ProTect" for your Toyota.
A new unique product - a two-component protective coating for the paint layer of your Toyota - liquid glass "Toyota ProTect", which has won the trust of consumers with its quality and durability in the protective coatings market.
The Toyota ProTec coating, thanks to its unique features, allows you to maintain the appearance of your Toyota at a high level: the protective layer retains its strength and transparency throughout the entire period of use.
Advantages of Toyota ProTect technology:
- Heat resistance
- UV protection
- Anti-static electricity
- Protection against chips and scratches
- Water repellent properties
- Coating hardness
- Durability of the coating
Strength
The hardness of the coating is close to the hardness of glass and is according to ISO 15184 - 6H (maximum - 8H), which prevents surface damage and fading caused by ultraviolet radiation. Due to its strength, the coating prevents the formation of cracks and dirt so often noticeable on a conventional protective coating. The 2.5 micron thick glass film prevents the adhesion of dirt, protects and is suitable not only for the paint layer, but also for plastic, glass and metal.
Heat resistance, static electricity, water repellent
As a result of the use of know-how and special components included in the composition of Toyota ProTect liquid glass, significant adhesion energy arises between the components of the composition themselves, which leads to increased heat resistance - when heated, the process of coating disintegration does not occur. Due to the use of new technologies in the production of the Toyota ProTect coating, its surface has high water-repellent properties and does not accumulate static electricity, which causes so many unpleasant sensations, especially in winter.
Shine
Toyota ProTect coating forms a long-term protective barrier that keeps your vehicle's paint surface as bright and shiny as the day you bought it.
“Aquapel Glass Treatment” and “Toyota ProTect”: together or separately?
Over 3 years of active use, the body coating without protection turns into a surface carved with sand and fine gravel. Chips and deep scratches that are not noticed in time become hotbeds for the spread of rust, the car loses its presentation: now it is a classic “war horse”. Specialists from Toyota Center Izmailovo and Toyota Center Lyubertsy return the shine and attractiveness of such a body: they polish and coat the parts with a layer of “Toyota ProTect”, and apply anti-rain “Aquapel Glass Treatment” to the glass. The simultaneous use of protective equipment allows you to hide the entire car under a hard film. Toyota ProTect liquid glass is applied to the body and preserves the presentation of the paintwork for a long time. Anti-rain “Aquapel Glass Treatment” maintains protection for up to 10 months (or up to 20 thousand km) - the windshield and side windows have to be treated more often than other parts.
How to order nanotreatment of body and glass
It is cheaper to apply both coatings to a new car before microscopic dust scratches appear than to treat parts after two to three months of use. You can order nanoprotection in the showroom of an official dealer as an additional service upon purchase. A used car is thoroughly inspected before application - surface preparation is required. After processing, the owner receives an updated vehicle with a factory-made body shine and clear windows.

Zero maintenance
Good day everyone!
In this small addition I want to write about undergoing zero maintenance at the official dealer Toyota Center Krasnoyarsk. The odometer shows 1300 km. There will be some photos.
And so, I arrived in advance at the appointed time to the OD. I contacted a young attractive lady at the reception, who took me to the service consultant. He, in turn, asked me whether there were any problems with the car, whether I would like to add anything from special stages, etc. Apart from the squeaking of the pads when braking, everything suited me, and they, one might say, did not bother me. I also had the temerity to say that in the future I would like to change the basic radio to a 2 din one with a reverse camera. The consultant was just great (!) and immediately offered me to buy and install from them. On my part, a logical question was asked: “How much will it cost?”, and...
... and he replied: “50,000 rubles!”
And this is without adapting the buttons on the steering wheel, purchasing and installing a camera. For comparison, I can say that in an online store you can buy all this for around 20,000 rubles. Feel the difference I politely declined.
Next, a work order was placed, the keys were handed over, and after some time the “driver” took my car from the street to the service station. The entire maintenance procedure can be observed from two points: either through an observation window in the wall, or on a monitor installed in the customer lounge area. You can control the camera using the joystick. Rotate it 360 degrees, zoom in and out of the image. This will be visible in the photo below.
The density and charge of the battery, the level of all fluids, the operation of the brakes, the tightening of the wheel nuts, the tire pressure, the serviceability of the lights and possibly something else were checked. Having raised the car on a lift, the “specialist” hit each wheel with his fist and just as safely lowered it to the ground. This is the end of the maintenance!
They didn't take any money for it.
A few words about prices.
I didn’t see prices for cars in the showroom, maybe I didn’t look well. There are only signs with the equipment and that’s it. But passing by the stand with discs, I was a little shocked. Before the price increase, discs were already not cheap, but now they are simply HALIVUT! And this is for one disc (lower price)
Now for some positivity!
While the entire maintenance procedure was going on, which was about an hour, my wife and I examined and photographed several cars in the hall:
1.Toyota Tundra
2. Toyota Camry
Their photographs will be attached below and you will understand what is positive.
When asked at what interval the oil in the variator is changed, the consultant replied that the condition of the oil is checked at 40,000 km and if it raises any suspicion, it can be changed. And so, according to the plan, it changes at 80,000 km.
PS I drive a car almost every day, I’m happy with the purchase, and I wish the same for you!
Now about the positive :))Zero maintenance for a car: a scam or a necessity?
The answer to this question partly lies in the area of financial interests of dealers, who most often sell the TO-0 service or sometimes offer it for free in order to have a formal reason to “lure” the client to the service and have the opportunity to sell him some additional services.
The recommended service interval for a vehicle is determined by its manufacturer. Regular maintenance at the dealership is one of the conditions for maintaining the warranty on the car. Depending on the model, TO-1 should be carried out after 10,000 km of travel, TO-2 should be carried out with a mileage of more than 30,000 km, and TO-3 is recommended to be carried out every 60,000 km.
It is proposed to carry out zero maintenance before maintenance-1, that is, at a mileage of 1000 to 3000 km. Just at this mileage, the new car has already passed its first run-in, and therefore the dealer recommends doing some work on the car. The TO-0 regulations usually include, for example, checking technical fluids, changing the oil and oil filter, checking the vehicle's chassis, tire pressure, battery condition, performance of lighting devices, and much more.
Dealers most often do not force their clients to do zero maintenance, but they strongly recommend this procedure. The dealer's statements that without TO-0 the client will be void of the warranty are deception and manipulation. Many realize this and act more sophisticatedly, inviting the motorist to a TO-0, motivating this by the fact that during the first kilometers of the run, the components and mechanisms of the car are run-in. For example, engine parts “grind” against each other, which can cause metal shavings to get into the oil. And it is better to drain this break-in oil and fill the engine with new oil, which will then need to be replaced at the first maintenance.
Automaker recommendations usually do not include zero maintenance. And although service mechanics sometimes observe the same shavings when they drain oil from the engines of new cars, automakers will insist to the last that their engines do not require break-in, since they are assembled with high quality and are designed for high mileage. And such an opinion seems plausible, especially given the fact that the components of modern power units are made from more efficient materials than before and are designed more precisely. This means that during break-in they give a minimum amount of those same chips.
A more common opinion among motorists is that you should only do zero maintenance if the dealer offers it for free. Otherwise, such maintenance is another trick of the dealership company, aimed at selling work imposed on the motorist. In any case, you can do zero maintenance; it won’t make the car any worse. However, it is unlikely that anything bad will happen to the engine and its oil if the owner does not come to TO-0, but brings his car to TO-1, following the automaker’s recommendations for car maintenance.
