Excuses. You only need a bucket of water to wash and some MicroFibres to polish and wax your car. Of course with some washing liquid, polish and wax.

If the nearby industrial area is OK lah but if go in Kesas then one whole big round baru comeback wo.

hi guys, just wanna ask, my mileage is around 17590, my last service was 10800. my friend said I need to do service at 15000 and not 20000 as service book requested, now I am confius, hope all of you can give some clarification.....

No lah.. Damn ACCA always keep on failing me.. T.T..

There is difference between polish and waxing.. Polishing is to reduce the swirl marks and scratches on ur car paint.. Polishing can be differentiated into 2 categories, compound polishing and normal polish.. Compound polish is done normally to old cars where a very thin layer of paint will be polished away to reduce the swirl and deep scratches and also paint oxidisation.. Normal polish is only good for removing those swirl marks and very light scratches that doesnt penetrate the clearcoat..

Waxing is mainly to protect ur paint from scratches and the weather elements.. It doesnt remove scratches or swirl marks at all.. All it does is leave a layer of wax on top of the paint clearcoat to minimise the acidic rain, bird droppings etc from affecting ur paint too fast b4 u get to wash ur car..

Ur car terminator mode is on.. Its preparing to activate Skynet and take over u ady.. Beware!!

Yeah u shd ask.. Go to the counter and see at the left there got a log book where the foreman have to sign off ur car number after they leave the key at the counter.. See if ur car number is already there.. That means finish servicing and now waiting for the invoice only..

Added on September 23, 2011, 11:50 amwell it depends on what engine oil did u use for ur 10k service.. is it fully synthetic or semi?? if its fully then u only need to service every 10k km.. If semi then every 5k km.. If u always get stuck in traffic jam all the time or u always idle ur car for long time in hot weather etc then its better to change ur oil earlier eventhough its fully synthetic, like every 7-8k km mileage u need to change ady.

of course la..im too gay(read lazy) to walk 500meter from my main door to my parking lot and to bring all those items with me..hehe....if diy..i should have save some money though..

need to see how to do it first..if thats it..then need to find the the stuff lor..btw? polish and wax using hand only? not machine?can i make my car shine like a glass? cos i saw a PE yesterday..i could see my reflection on his car..looks like theres a glass on it......

machine compund polish cannot done to many time it will damage your paint work actully, the best things to keep your car look nice is wash your car in the correct way at least onece a week cannot lazy.....nomehter how gloss your car do if not keep this it will become dirty soon then you need spend money and time to polish again, as i said too many polish end up you need to respry whole car very soon.

Yup, if you are lazy so can forget about your PE looking nice and shiny.
Treat it as a morning exercise which take at most 1 - 1.5 hours per week. I think what u lack is tools to make it happen.
When you are finish doing it, believe me, you do not want to take it out for a spin and just only admire your handiwork.
Just join the detailing TT with KC which KKW gonna rearranged the date.

What color was that PE? U can get the super glossy shine if u use good wax, like Meguiar's Gold Class.. Or u can do the Glossy coating.. Forgot whats the name ady.. Its in subang..

Sierra Glow?

Ya that one! hehe.. Reminded me.. Will be going there later to get a quote..

They very good business one. Have to wait long time to get the date to do it.

Ya lah.. Nvm will just go there to check out.. hehe.. Mb get to pull some strings if i know someone there..

LOL... Transformer in there... can i ask it to transform to Bumblebee or just photocopy the DB9 parked next to my car?

5 years warranty mah....no one else in the market can offer that type of warranty. My neighbour did it for his new 2.0 Forte. Mine is Magic Glare. Same sort of glass compound as Sierra but warranty and renew every 18 months or 2 years. The way I see it, Sierra Glow is more worth it BUT it does have some setback....ie...its far from my home (Klang), swirl maintenance have to book way in advance coz they super good business...I think I will stick to my Glare. Very near my house, can just drop by and get instant service when I need it.

So far my City still can comb hair even after almost 6 years and 3 renewal liao....as for my PE, its looks POLISHED after every wash. Thats 2 months liao since sealent was done.

Normal Polish, whether if its compound or not, will still eat into your paint every time you do it. If you leave your car outside, it will be gone within 2 weeks - 3 weeks. The wax protection usually last only about 2 to 3 washes b4 protection gone. So not much use unless you wax often. So DO not polish too often, a couple of years later, your paint habis.

If you got the dough, going for those glass compound sealent will be a better deal overtime. For RM500 to RM700, you DO NOT need to polish again for a long time. Just wash, it WILL look polish again.

For Sierra Glow, do it once, supposedly can last 5 years. I personally don't think it wil last that long in our acidic rain, humid, hot condition. But since they give 5 years warranty, why not. For Magic Glare, it should last 18 months to 2 years. Also do it once. After that, DON'T ever normal polish again on your car. Just wash with shampoo or water...it will glow mirror like after EVERY wash.

Swirl marks is the bane again for those mirror like looks especially on dark colored car. So thats where the maintenance comes in. Spend abt RM80 bucks every once a while (for me, its 6 months to 1 year), to remove the mark, it will be glossy again. The removal of mark won't damage the paint as the glass sealent protects them, unless its a scratch that penetrated the paint itself, then it can only be dimmed, damage done.

btw. Doing polish by hand will never be as completed as those by machine. Uneven polish might not be good for car paint after long time coz some part will look darker than others...

correct..i dont have the right tool actually..thats why i often go to carwash just to wash the outside..however..i admire people who keep their car clean and shines..

mine chiffon green

gulp..how many pieces of ringgit are we talking about for siera glow and magic glare?rm500-rm700 for 1 and a half year? if do it just once, then only wash afterwards to maintain it's shines, seem reasonable to me..

Ooiiii......10k service even for FS not recommended lar....experts cakap punya..(not me, I pass message only). FS at most 7K only, even after 5K, they will degrade drastically, at 7K maybe still acceptable but at 10K, damage and wear would have been done to your engine.

If still not clear...its just like you can still makan expired food...maybe you won't get stomach ache BUT it's still expired liao, nutrient gone, fungus or mold and bacteria might set in...you can live with it but expired food will do no good to your body. At the most, nothing happen (not doing any good to your body except filling it) and worst case scenario, food poisoning, masuk hospital...

Come to detailing TT then you will learn more.
Just PM Zeng lah that you want to do Sierra Glow since he is also interested. I think cost is around 700++.
Haha..... You know Zeng lah. last time strech his semi syn until nearly 8 or 9k.
