I cannot be more excited! I am picking up my Prius C today. I think I might need to purchase a rear bumper protector (just because I made my Scion XA all scratched when loading/unloading stuff). Is there anything else that you recommend purchasing?
Thanks! I am leaving in two hours... So excited. But I've never learned how to wax the car. Reading a few articles online. Hope I can do it. I hope hope hope that the dealer put in some gas! He made me stop at the gas station during the test drive...

The Dealer will fill the tank for you. Drive the car easy, the break in period is the first 1,000 miles so do not exceed 55 MPH. Do not us cruise control. Do not drive at one speed for a long period of time. Be easy on the brakes.
Is there any specific wax that you buy from Toyota? Can I use the car-wash service that includes waxing? Or is it better if I wax it by myself?
Nah get it at Autozone or Pep Boys or the auto parts store you like. Megquiars is good, but get a better quality one. you can wash and wax yourself, just get a good car wash detergant, wax, bucket, sponge, and soft cloth. Plenty of work though. But you save $ versus going to the detailer. I don't wax my car by myself anymore. Every 6 Months I bring it to the local detail shop and they wash and HAND WAX the car for $35.00. I ask them to use my Wax and it saves them money. Than I know I'm getting good quality wax. they also shampoo the carpet and dress the wheels, etc. I also go through the hand car wash machine for $10 bucks every 2 weeks and they spray on a wax. They have a brush machine that costs $5 but I never use it cause it leaves swirl marks on the clear coat. Hand wax lasts a long time and will protect the car from the environment and it looks good longer.
