Best Wax for Your Forte!?

I think a lot of Forte members not from KL (cos Sierra Glow and PPS only available in KL) will have this question in mind ... "What's the best wax for my Forte?" ... I had the same question and did a lot of reading online lately and found that the two wax below should be among the best in terms of brand name(reliability), quality(shine, UV & water bead), long lasting (2-3months) and ease of application (no back/arm ache after waxing and not white residual on rubber surface biggrin.gif) and here you go:

Meguiar's - NXT GENERATION TECH WAX® 2.0 (Liquid Wax NOT Paste)
More Info - http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/product_deta...p?T1=MEG+G12718
Price  - Around RM110+ (I saw it in Parkson, but not all Parkson has it) a bottle. 1 bottle sould be enough for at least 5 application or last for 1 - 2 yrs if you wax once a quater.

Turtle Wax - ICE LIQUID POLISH (Liquid Wax NOT Paste)
More Info - http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,1,1
Price - Around RM110+ (I saw it in Jusco) a bottle. 1 bottle sould be enough for at least 5 application or last for 1 - 2 yrs if you wax once a quater.

I have not tested any cos i got my 1st waxing done at a car detailing shop here in Penang in January ... i think i will go for Meguiar's when my car is due for waxing in April or May ... hope the above info helps and if you have any experience with the wax above, please share you experience with us ya smile.gif

perhaps u should consider also AUTOGLYM range of products wink.gif

Thanks bro, i heard of the brand too ... since i am only getting the wax in April/May long way to go and the more to choose from is better ... btw, any particular range that you have used and highly recommended to share with us? biggrin.gif

I've used Super Resin Polish + Extra Gloss Protection last time & highly recommended smile.gif but the price for their products is quite expensive i must say wink.gif

Of courselah a bit expensive bro..Sonata is a D segment car..Camry, Accord contender smile.gif if Naza can deliver our 2.0 in a couple of week time, i will stick to it. else, i will consider to cancel the booking..hmmm

It is a liquid polish & gloss protection actually. So need to apply it as of the normal polish or wax (polish, wait until dry then rinse it). So it is quite a time consuming process i must say. the Extra Gloss Protection is even trickier to apply it. need to apply it as a thin layer & then wait for it to dry first (about 1 hour to completely dry). I personally think that this products is not recommended for someone who need an easiest & fastest way to polish & wax their car tongue.gif but the end result is impressive & long lasting i must say

i will strongly suggest u go for new SONATA!
dun pay RM100K with 2 years warranty and some more naza after sales is super sucks...

I'm leaning towards that if still got no delivery news for my 2.0 Forte in a couple of week time...the clock is ticking

Seems like many are excited with the new Sonata...

But I'm more interested in the Optima, where the teaser pics is pretty similar to what we've seen from the very first leaked shots. Very much toned down I must say... it loses all the muscular lines and aggression.
*
I'm also interested in the Optima..but still dont know when this car will reach our Bolehland. cannot wait longer than April. If let say Naza could launch this car in April..perhaps it will end up with the same delivery problem as Forte..who knows. i dont want to take another risk of endless waiting

IF what promised (2.0sx can be collected by mid of march) is TRUE.
Mid/End of this week should have allocation news, let's get finger cross though the chances is low. :S
*
If true..then it's good. i will settle with Forte then. else..Sonata..here i come drool.gif

but if confirm can get 2.0 in mid mac, why there's no 2.0 in any showroom?
no extra car to allocate?

perhaps yes. they better give priority to deliver the cars (2.0) to their long waited customers first. If they put the cars as a showroom car first, for sure customers will "taji" them kaw2 punya whistling.gif

The 2.0 is already in Klang during Jan. However, there were complaints from rivals P1, T, H smdby etc about the selling price based on CBU, therefore, custom could not release the cars. May be NK is forced to increase the selling price of 2.0 before they can be released.
This is from a reliable souce.

For whatever reason it is..NK, please settle this issue ASAP at all cost...

KIA MALAYSIA said ....we are working very hard on getting the cars to customers. Please bear with us and don't listen to rumour-mongers.

I wonder why KM resists to reveal the true reason behind.
*
Not just "working very hard" but also " working day and night". But i doubt the night part. & as what someone mentioned on the FB, it is better to work smart rather than work hard.

Yeahh..i think they should reveal the true story behind this delay..that's the only way to stop the rumours & to make us in the know.

Be patience, those that booked in November last year hasn't got their car yet. I just called my previous SA, he is no more daring to commit anything on 2.0L, he told me if really need him to give a time frame, the 2.0L will be in June ( I guess that is a very safe commitment from him )

As for the 1.6L, he said the time from order to delivery also not certain and best he can quote me is 6 weeks of waiting time. ( That also will bring to mid April if counting from now )

This has became very quiet around.. after the 2nd batch gotten their 1.6L and the 2.0L buyers are already finally accepted the truth that 2.0L going to be remains unknown.

izputra,

You sure you want to consider Nissan's rides ah.. you will be not much different driving a Taxi as the market is started to flooded with Sylphy Taxi.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif ( thinking from the positive side.. there are plenty of spare parts supply if the Taxi companies are using them )
*
Yupp..Sylphy currently is in my list right now. Going to be taxi mehh..aiyaa doh.gif but also seriously considering the upcoming new Hyundai Sonata..expected to launch in April. the price for both cars not differ much considering that Sonata is a D segment car. Anyway..i will give Forte another wait till middle of March before i jump into any decision unsure.gif

I booked the 2.0 unit early feb.. just called the careline and they mentioned 3-6 months to wait?!! spoke to my SA and he has no comment or indication. Just 2 days ago he mentioned about being able to get it by mid march. Seems to be we are all just in wonderland waiting for something NZ cant deliver.  mad.gif

Now u knew already. i have waited for 2.0 Forte for ages now..since November last year. u should consider yourself lucky to wait only about a month as of now.
