you downplay other competitors way too much desmond.

giving myself and probably other potential auto foamers a bad taste and second thoughts on deciding if i (or we) are to get our auto foam from you.

i actually agree with this . we know there are a few players who does chassis foaming and we all know that desmonds team are the pioneers of this particular 'mod' in this country.
but to label others as fake and yours as original is not fair, since you did not r & d, nor did you patented the product.if i understand correctly, you are also sourcing the product from a foreign manufacturer... so, to claim yours as original is just tooo far fetched.

be fair lah. dont downplay others,

Like those fuel saver magnets...if really can work, Proton will have the Campro engine made from magnet oready.....LOL.

Anyway, just put in my 2 cents. Other than bad mouthing the competitors, i saw Desmond youtube....the guy sound so arrogant man....somemore saying Malaysian as 'stupid'....ok lar, you so smart, eat your own foam lar.  I was actually thinking to visit the guy at one time, but after watching the video...really put off....dun feels like wanna deal with him....So lanci....duh.

btw, i ain't no competitor, just disgusted potential customer.

I can't quite agree that all foam is the same except if they all came from the same supplier. I would assume that the ingredients that different suppliers put in to make the foam would give them different properties.

What's true is that all are foam. All things will age - some gracefully, some not so - and maybe that would be the penultimate test. How will each product look like and perform in 3, 5 or 7 years' time? If all the foams live up to their name, they have everything to gain and everything for Autofoam to fight for.

Chassis foaming is still a young market with Autofoam being the undoubtable father-figure. As more competition crops up, time will only tell how their products stand up - and this is where Autofoam has the upper-hand. Where Autofoam loses in pricing, it gains in testimonials dating back years. Again, if the other brands live up to expectations, then Autofoam has some real competition on its hands which will be good for the market.

Some will place hard-earned cash in kl auto's coffers because of peace of mind from the years of testimonies. Others will place their trust in up-coming brands. Again, the scene is still young and the market is still open.

lets be honest, how long do u expect to be driving the same car ? eventually, you will buy a newer car, a more economical car to run, and the current car would either be sold off or used as the 'going to market' car...

i would not expect or hope that the foam i put in my car would last me 7 years. if it does, than, its a bonus. by the 7th year,, the law of the country might even require for us to scrap the car...

how ever, i do agree that not all foams are the same, just like not all fried chickens are the same, each and everyone would have their own secret ingredient and method of frying the chicken... but the end product remains the same. it is still fried chicken.
just like that, maybe the foams are not the same because its sourced from different manufacturers, but at the end of the day, the chassis gets foamed, and once its cured, your ride and handling becomes sharper and the car becomes quieter and more comfortable when driving over our wonderful jkr roads.
( you dont hear kfc going about screaming that the mamak fried chicken are fakes rite ? )

but isn't that the role of the forum ? to throw caution to the wind.
for example. if a new miracle drug comes into the market. and a thousand has tried it. out of it, 300 people felt that the miracle drug didnt work, instead it made something worst, if the 300 people commented about it in the forum, at least, anyone else who comes across the forum, would actually think things thoroughly.
same with this. if u read through a few, many said kl-autofoam did a miracle. that their car is a different beast altogether. only very few commented or gave negative comments on the outcome of the car -post foam. at least, in this way. the next person who might want to foam, might consider both sides of the coin. because as in any business, the pros are always overhyped, and the cons are always downplayed.

That is true. You can post in the forum the negative aspect if the facts are correct. What we are saying is, if you have problem after doing something, you should first go back to them to get it rectified. Only if they do not bother then using those facts post into the forum.

agreed, but things like chassis foaming, you cant really undo right ? its not like putting in those ultra racing bars front and back, and then finding the ride is too stiff, and then deciding to go back and remove it.
and even if the fella says can undo.. would kl-auto refund his money ? its not like kl-auto can reuse the foam.. right ?

in cases like this where its clear cut the product brought a negative impact and after careful thought, he comes to a conclusion that nothing much can be done to improve it.. and out of despair, he shares it here. at least now , for those who were not aware, they are now aware that if and when they foam the car, they should also expect this behaviour. if the potential client is aware of the pros and cons, it would also be less headache to the seller rite ?

also. if in the case of the tesco engine oil being fake, at least, other forumers who knows it's not fake can actually call his bluff right... so it works both ways...right?
