Bro.. sad to hear that.. my car also have scratch offen d.

try get meguiars scratch X or meguiars ultimade compound... both can remove scratch. u need apply and reapply until u sactified with the result... then apply wax on it to protect it d.

before i using cap ayam scratch removal... 2 bottle there which only using few times nia.. it no removal the scratch but cover only.. which after few wash it coming back liao.. so till the end i stick with meguiars products which it really works well d.

if u want get cheaper prices meguiars products... u can buy from US or ebay.

Added on December 23, 2009, 4:54 pmgood choice d get PMM.. yea black is more hard to maintain.. but once u hardworking maintain.. it look stunt on shine d.. hehe!

every color of car will have swirl marks after u wash.. it really depend how u wash it. For light color like silver.. the swirl mark u only notice when at nite under lamp pose there. if u not proper wash ur car.. u will notice there have many swirl mark. for black color u will notice the swirl on 1st day u get your car, day or nite also will notice it. hehe

Thanks bro Geo7, guess let me try this cap kura kura first, really cannot, then, most probably wait till I finished all current "capalang" shampoo, wax, etc, then, I convert everything to Meguiars products Hope that time, wallet got little bit $$$ oledi.

Wahlau....kena poison kau kau oledi, UR Bar, Dynamat, now Meguiars products.....

BTW, is Meguiars price standard accross all the shop? Reason coz thinking should I get from Meguiars office (which is very far from my office/ home), but, if I join HC3Msia as OM, I got discount, or just get from those big hardware shop nearby my office (Ace Hardware).

Thanks.

after u using meguiars products.. i sure that u will not change already. all meguiars products smell very nice d. hehehe!

if u have wax... try using good shampoo d which it really protect the wax which it wont clear wax by wash. some shampoo clear the wax just only 1 wash.. which it really not good to long term to use d.

Yea... all prices is standard. if got discount maybe just few ringgit only. Yea.. if u join hc3msia.com OM... u get 10% discount d. cause meguiars is one of the official approval shop there.

in lyn here.. there have someone selling meguiars products d... some of the product is cheaper d.. u can check there!

about the poison.. LOL... i also kena kao kao oledi... now save some money for Dynamat ... but will try install side step 1st. hehe

ok, i'll record it tomorrow..
i've just counted, its really looong to wait for electronic check..

or maybe i was looking at the wrong indicator?
the orange light at RPM meter...

btw mine's hondacity 2009 spec E..

Hie guys

Has anyone of you reached 20000 kms already and already sent for 20k service,may i know how much is it?

I checked Honda website,its shows RM 329 but when I serviced today,they charge me RM 504.

Just wanna double confirm with u guys ....

did some minor corrections

swirls & minors scratches visible as almost daily wash


honda OEM paint is real soft & they used RAW paint, not premixes therefore be gentle when wash

this is the after pics



some back light restore



after


the finish touch



for rest of the write up pls view at

Here you go, took a video a couple minutes ago


sorry for bad quality, poor cameraphone..

so if you look at the orange indicator inside the rpm meter, it stays there for about 20 seconds then it goes off..

do i really really have to wait 20seconds before starting up the engine?

sorry that i mistaken what you said before... because i didn't read properly... the one you mean is malfunction indicator lamp... you don't have to wait that... while the one i mean is the fuel indicator lamp... what the sales manager told me is to wait it to move up then you can start the engine... it move up within 3secs...

why car need to polish??
new car need to polish too???
how often do car need to polish????

Can someone tell me whether u change " Air & pollen filter" during 20k service???!!

Cause Honda charged me RM 230 for it,wondering whether you guys change the thing anot...

bro.. u have very pro job done there d. how u remove the swirl... meguiars M83 with machine?

oh no wonder
mayb i heard wrongly from the salesman
good news then, thanks

after 4 months driving my car,mileage already clocked 8k+,my car is still free of famous CKD problems.except for some minor scratches

Wait a while more bro.

Mine is 7 months and has clocked 23500++ km already.

Now there is some rattling sounds coming from the dashboard.Damn 9 irritating.

And theres also a squeaking sound coming from the driver window..damn !

Ignore it, its juz another things Honda made to eat ur money, my Camry is running without air con filter...

wat rattling sound?

like sumthg is lose from inside?

So fast got rattling sounds from the dashboard? Even worst than my 8 years old Waja wo.

Ok, thanks for advice. Will take note, seems $$$ fly again ....to get better quality shampoo...meguiars? Another question (sorry yea...beginner here , problematic car owner ), meguiars products got those come in one set type on ah, with little booklet instruction the steps to do? can optimise the benefits of OM, coz sure the if got, cost few hundreds bucks, so, 10%, wahlau, straight away recover the OM entrance fee.

Ai..u interested for Dynamat oso? Me too, same here, saving money for it, then, join OM (if still havent join that time), go fixed it at H3Msia official approved shop. But, this most likely my 3rd priority, first is above.

Second priority, go fixed UR Bar, dunno if due to my own perception or real situation, since NHC driver seat bit high (I oledi put to lowest oledi) as compare to my previous Satria, when cornering (even at 40 or 50km/h) feel car "very light" leh....maybe due to the shift control function too? Hope with UR bar can fixed this.

Added on December 24, 2009, 1:54 amTo answer your question (btw, disclaimer, I am still amateur here , trying to learn from other expert here too, therefore, my answer might not be 100% correct, but, would greatly appreciate if someone can correct me here if I am wrong )

Q1 -There is differences between polish and wax. Polish - u cut the outer layer of paint (usually ppl will only do that when the car is quite sometime, abused by environment, ie sunlights, acid rain, dust, etc which resulted the car paint not shinny anymore) with some mild abrasive wax. Polish is the opposite, u put a layer of wax to protect the paint, which usually ppl do it when they got the car. One of the most visible effects is that the rain drop on car, it will just fall off, as if like slide (Actually I use this technique to determine when I need to wax my car again).

Q2 - Polish - no, wax - yes

Q3 - Polish - try limit it (due to reason in Q1). Wax - as often as u like, as often as u got $$$ (if u send to others to do it for u) or depends how hardworking and how determine u want to be Karate Kid, ok, just kidding, actually it very time and energy consuming (unless of course u willing to invest in those electric polisher lah, such as Bosch, etc). I do manual, from wash to wax oso at least 3 to 4 hours.
