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...
seems tempting. my car get dirty very easily. how much u do ah??

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...
lol....oilman come liao.
yup. but once in a while salah makan get stomachache also never mind lah. dont everytime eat also eat expired one lor.

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.
once in a while nvm. not recommended for every service.

I don't think ur expired food example works for this situation though. Expired food = expired engine oil, but in this case we're not pouring expired/used engine oil into the engine. So perhaps constipation & shitting bricks can be the better example?

Too long never shit = too long never service engine. Constipation = sludge buildup in engine. High wear & tear = assbleed

lol...these example seems not bad XD

You tak da request 40 weighted FS kah ? In this case, using this FS is like going backward in your engine performance. Although FS has better fluidity, contaminant suspension, etc...the heavier weight sort of negate the overall performance.
50 means the car heavier ah??
i wonder why caltex havoline only have 50 weighted for FS.
