Just really happy with the work that the boys in antricks have done. Paint protection at its best.

Yung for 6 months to one year pareho lang po yung curing time dun sa 2 years... A day and a half po. Pero yung delay kasi dahil dun sa rain and wala akong ginawa kundi kulitin yung mga tao dun...
Mas maganda pag sunny days since mabilis na magbbond sa paint yung coating.
Kainis nga kasabay ko kanina audi r8 nagpapalagay ng paint protection din. Hahaha.

Mas recommended po siya for dark colors. Actually walang effort magpakintab na kasi di rin po kakapit yung wax. After putting the coating the guy would tell you what to use and what not to use.
The owner said parang nail polish for cars and mangyayari. Sa ziebart na dapat ako kukuha, Yung diamond protection. But its almost twice the price and the kicker is... Wala akong nakitang ferrari or r8 na nilalagyan dun... Hahaha!

Hmmm, knowing Antricks, that's either two detailing products. Optimum Opticoat (more likely) or HD Nitro Seal (less likely). In any case, HD Nitro Seal is the more expensive one, however HD Philippines has less distribution networks versus Optimum so it's likely the one-year program is Opticoat.
Contrary to popular opinion, you can still wax your car as Opticoat acts much like a secondary clearcoat. Although you might want to be careful on which wax to use. You just want to use pure carnauba wax or sealant. No cleaners and other miscellaneous stuff manufacturers throw in.
Take note that it's not really a 1-year protection but it CAN last that long with proper care. However, subject it to harsh environments (ex. acid rain, acidic bird droppings, etc.) on a daily basis and that won't last you even 8 months. There's no such thing as a permanent 1-year protection, its durability is directly proportional sa environmental conditions it has to face.
Antricks is great as a detailing shop. I would handily recommend them if you're near Buendia as I used to frequent them yun madalas ako sa Taft. For the Opticoat program, 8k is a bit expensive. You might want to take a trip sa Banawe Waxspot. They offer the similar program on a 6,800php price tag. Application-wise, no idea if they're equal or inferior to Antricks though.
Liit talaga ng gulong. Wala pako nakikitang naka 17s kahit sa personal. Once may nakita ako sa mckinley nka aftermarket wheels pero 15s or 16s din yata yun.

17s were not a good match for the old car's suspension. Poor wheel control. The tires tended to "dribble" over the road unless you had the TRD suspension, which was very stiff. As it is, with the new one, even with the stock 15s, there's already a tendency... 17" will make the ride worse.
For the new Vios, 16" is probably optimum in terms of looks, performance and ride comfort.
Review up:
Toyota Vios 1.5G Review
Hope people can give feedback regarding fuel economy... as it's very contentious. Seems like the car is fantastic on the highway (Bridgestone Eco-run, 30 km/l for the 1.3... (so likely 25 without cheating.)), but in traffic, it's strangely thirsty. Anyone here have a few thousand kilometers on the odometer yet?

Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
It has d same engine as the previous gen so Im sure it will be more or less similar. My 2nd gen vios is around 10.2 km/l city driving. Of course with traffic worsening, it could further go down.
