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

haha thank you bro! but, i've got nothing to suggest, is just whether you have the heart to restore it. i dont mind using any products but the product im using will save up alot cost, time, energy and provide greater protection.

dont have to recommend, wash your car by yourself when you can do it besides polish. the key to keep your car in its best condition is by whether the owner willing to sacrifice some time to protect it. i'll be meeting a person there end of august, come drop by if you are interested.

for engine dilute 1:3 interior 1:5 for exterior 1:8

OPC is safe for clear coat too unlike acid degreaser that will leave whitish stain on it. power clean also can use to remove tar, bird poop, dirt, grime, grease and etc. just remember after brush with OPC must rinse quickly with a microfiber cloth. to see know more about OPC please read this link below.

thanks for your kind words. my blog shows my detailing journey and my passion for detailing. yup, only can get from person. these products are not release in market. maybe end of august not sure. will let you know soon, most likely will be at gurney.

good point lacteavia. if is a protected car the waterspots wont etch into the paint that fast, you can rinse it and wipe it dry after you came home. if is not a protected one the waterspots still need a period of time to etch into the paint. waterspots will etch into your paint after a long period bake under the sun everyday as the mineral leaves behind after evaporated. waxing will be needed to prevent all these.

what do you mean by UPGM?
