Worth doing if you want to retain the comfort of the 16s, and the relatively lower cost of replacement rubbers...

You could msg Dessimo when you free, can arrange quickie TT so you can see the rims on a black car.... it totally changes the look to more sportier when moving, and tidier when stopped, compared to the very cluttered and bz look of it originally is...

May i know how much were u charged by sierraglow?

good day everyone. today was a really tiring day for me due to alot places to run the whole afternoon and not forget i went to taman muda to help out daniel to restore a persona at the same time, the persona was done very well but too bad i didnt bring my camera along, what a waste.. before i reached back home, a friend of mine who called me to ask me to remove some of the scratches he hit the past few days. tho i was really tired and exhausted but my heart still burning when comes to detailing, instead having dinner with my girlfriend, i ask him to drop by at my place. upon arrival..




hit quite badly as you can see the clear coat and base coat have been peel off


at the same time i also found something..


let me test you if you can spot something in this picture




the answer is..


please click this link to read more of my post. cheers!


and also i found this interesting post from inspiraclub.com, i assume the original post is from here. i just wish to tell this person that your coating can be remove by compounding it.


I did PPS for my black Inspira early this month, & that was one of the worst thing I've ever done to my car (my car is not even 6 months old...). I understand that after applying PPS, the company claim that Ur car's paint won't fade & Ur car will get showroom-like shine for years. Plus, after reading some of the newspaper articles posted in their website, I had this impression that after applying PPS, you just have to wash Ur car regularly & any dirt or whatever you can just wipe clean. So I thought okla, since I dun really have time to really take care of my car & as most of you guys here know, black car can be very difficult to take care of.

I spend quite a substantial amount to have PPS for my car plus I added about RM120 for windscreen protectant (somewhat like Rain-X). That very weekend (I applied PPS on Thursday), watermarks started to appear on the car. Granted I didn't rinse the car over after rain. Ok fine, the company said they dun guarantee against watermarks. But since the PPS was so high-tech, I find it difficult to believe it couldn't even prevent watermarks from forming. & prior to applying PPS, my car didn't have any watermarks. Ok, so I sent the car back to the company & they cleaned it using a special cleaner costing about RM80 (after discount) & told me I should rinse my car after rain. Funny enuff, right after I got outta the shop, it rained & when I got home, the watermarks started to appear edi.

Nowadays it's rainy season. & my car has become sorta watermark magnet. Even immediately after washing, if it rains, watermarks would appear. & those watermarks will only disappear after using that special cleaner. So, instead of getting easier to care for, now I find that it's become more cumbersome & my car require more care than before. Previously my car hardly have any watermarks at all.

So I should've been a member with those car wash providing waxing service like Shine Shine or whatever. & I just wished I could just peel this PPS coating away. Haih...


A -ve review by a member from LYN......



you can remove the coating away by compounding it. dont worry, coating is still a coating, it can be remove and re-apply. watermarks are mostly caused by acid rain/water when its evaporate under the sun and the mineral leaves behind will cause serious damage to the clear coat. but when you say the watermarks appear when after rain, i must say the previous watermarks didnt remove properly. from my experience in detailing, watermarks only can be remove by compounding with a rotary (best result) i do not use any acid/cleaner to the clear coat cause its harmful to human and the car. to see further more of removing watermarks please visit http://prodetailing.blogspot.com/2011/07/w...pticoating.html

So brother, which item u would like to suggest us ? cost ? im really impress with mirror look on your black car. (as mine black too)

I've seen it on Dessimo's. Actually come to think of it, maybe I won't do it after all. When my tyres go out, I'll probably change to 18's or something. Our 16's aren't cheap.. CCC5 costs about 400 each? Might as well take the leap to 18's IMO. But I dunno how much comfort will be affected >.<


PM'ed you.

That's nice and all, but even after compounding, the waterspots will still appear if you don't dry your car after rain right? compounding is just removing the topmost layer where the water spots are etched, so that solves nothing. Glad to know that PPS won't solve my problem either, at least I won't have to waste money. Guess I'll just have to live with the spots then, and polish/wax every once in awhile. No sheltered parking huu huu.

ahaha.pengaruh besar. so much love with gtr

rim size : 18in offset 42
tire size : 225/40/R18

the ride not so much different i sense.maybe a bit slow(mayb it was only me), but still acceptable. ride quality depends on your tire i guess. but for me,still nice and comfort.
