If still under warranty, shouldn't be an issue. Best to check with Choong.

If you do the paint coating, they will include a layer of SierraBead for your windows which can last for about 3 months. If you want something more lasting, then you can opt for Sierraview which can last about 2 years. You can check with Choong on the cost for Sierraview.

I would like to know as well. The warranty covers touch ups? Also, does it cover the windscreen?

Also, have you guys heard of or did Aquly coating? It's from Japan... how does SG fair against Aquly?

Thanks in advance!

Did SG in May 2012, after 8 months of use car still looks waxed after simple wash and dirt comes off easily. Beading is slightly less but still there when wet. Just went for touch up today bcos had minor accident recently and Mr Choong was very professional and did the touch up for me without any charges. Overall very satisfied customer , car still looked brand new and would def recommend SG to anyone. smile.gif
Saw many white car owners today at SG, mine included.

After 1 year, my car body feels gritty to the touch. Very not smooth at all. I wasnt happy about this so I text Mr.Choong and told him. His reply is that this is normal and I need to shampoo it and do clay bar.

Before doing SierraGlow I was told just wash with plain water, now they want me to do claying?

I wont send another car there thats for sure

it may or may not be sierraglow's fault. you really need to read up and understand detailing before you start shooting faults/blames smile.gif

erm, is this the long term comparison between applied SG on one side and the other side without SG

or

They have just polish the other side and the other side not polish yet? The other side look dull because of all the scratches. Try asking them to polish all surface and apply SG on 1 side and compare. I dont think there will be much diff unlike that picture. kinda cheating if you ask me.

try washing ur car everyday so you won't get any gritty feeling.

but it comes with free swirl scratches. laugh.gif


gritty feeling is unavoidable lar. Dust + rain + more dust + sunlight. It's like cement formula liao. laugh.gif

if you want to be ignorant on the issue there is no helping it then smile.gif

if you'd like to know anyways:
- washing with improper method will damage paint/coating in the long run
- parking under shade means nothing if you drive your car a lot. unless you're gonna tell me that car is a showroom car and never drives outside.

Sorry cant remember from where I read about they clay. But I somehow remember reading from somewhere that u still need to use clay type 1 to remove tar spots. However this is very seldom maybe 1-2 times a year.

You can get ONR from KC's frm lowyat.net, read his blog http://thedetailers.blogspot.com.

I've used ONR for quick detailing and wash. For a newbie like me I can say that its a good way to wash ur car since u dont use much water therefore saving the mama earth. You should get alot of microfibers for this else ull end up inducing swirl marks which can be really irritating. Can get some from bro MSK frm lowyat.net.

I wonder if you've done the sierra glow can u go the sideroad car wash? from what ive observe, the roadside car wash not using proper towel which in the end ur car will have alottttt of swirl marks.

U should try the opti-seal sealent from KC. these stuff are great. 15 to 20 min i could have wax/polish the whole car liao. laugh.gif

I dont want to be ignorant hence my question
But if you are asking a lay person to know about detailing etc in order to keep this Sierra Glow job looking like day one, I think then better dont spend money on this.
Its suppose to be easy to maintain.

Anyway I am not looking for a solution from Mr.Choong. I just want to warn others. If they want to try it out, go ahead and give it a try.

whoever is applying SG should be informing to you instead then.

in any form of car detailing, maintenance is always the hardest step. same applies to SG or even optimum/ONR products that is rather famous in LYN. at you still need to spend at least 30mins every week to do car wash/quick detailing (be it spray-ons and what not)

blatant claims on "easy to maintain" without proper understanding given is just bullshit in my book smile.gif
however from your attitude of warning, and the whole "i dont want to listen/understand/solution, only want to 'warn others' " is just in bad taste imo

eh those blatant claims are from sierra glow themselves lor....

and you talk as if I abused my car. you also assumed that I do not know anything about detailing.

i didnt say I do not want to listen or understand. I only said I do not need a solution from Mr.Choong which means if he offers to redo my car, I have to think twice. No point spending my whole day there if after a year, this happens again.

understand?
