Where's the latest owner list ?

Anyone where to buy Forte door visor ? The one w/o chrome lining or any wording

how much did you guys sum insure your windscreen ?

there is a places called chip away. The restore dent w/o need to repaint..can't recall where but you can google.

Naza also never bring in Forte 2.4 Turbo !!

Anyone here install mudguards for your car ?

its always good to 'choose' your car prior to SA bring it to registration

Don't mislead, misallignment is NOT the same as manufacturing defect

Its normal if you wanna be 'hero' and run thru a big pool oh water, normal raining shouldn't slash like that.

Simple answer. If your financially OK then just 2.0 (ensure you also ok with the roadtax)

Its you can feel the scratch with finger mean its already pased the clear coat and, no point polish, you will only thinner the paint

that's wrong. With coating applied, you need SPECIAL care and Wash else your quoting won't last long.

Aside from washing technique, the maker also recommend you to use their shampoo which usually PH neutral and won't goes 'against' the coating protection - which allow maximum durability

Coating has no 'repair'..only REDO ( usually whole car ) , never hear ppl said redo just 1 door BUT wax anytime and where)

Haha...depend WHICH type of coating you going to pay for, some claim for glass coating which making the surface HARDER to scratch but doesn't mean it will NOT get scratch at all, then if your washing technique is no good then swirl still come back...

Swirl not same as scratch (alot dunno that). Also when talk about watermark, upto today whatever super coating out there will STILL get watermark no to mention with Malaysia climate + acid rain...

So think about it, you wanna pay 1-2K to 'coat' your ride and you think 1-2 years no need wash or wax or can cincai wash or wax ?? - am sure most of ppl here are daily use car and 50% park open air overnight ??

Or

Prefer old skool, enjoy wash and waxing ( there is alot good wax out there ), u just need to top-up and if you really got take care the wax can last till 6-9 months....

Added on September 4, 2012, 11:50 pmThere are polish, wax and 2 in 1 (polish and wax)

Talk about care detailing there is 101 thing can talk.

Say polish, to layman only 1 type of polish but there are way more like polish that work only with machine, or hand or hand and machine..there are mild polisher, aggressive polish (usually need use machine)

Polisher is just like sandpaper...more aggressive the polisher, the 'rougher' it goes and to layman the easier i remote 'dirt' but the side effect also more terror....

Wax there are carnauba and synthethic wax. Carnauba based wax won't last long with our climate (mainly acid rain), synthethic would last longer.

If you want easy job and wanna DIY .

Get this 2 product.

Colorx - paint cleaner with mild polish - should be around Rm65+- now


Wax - M16 (give you wet gloss) should be around Rm80+- now

Why ppl always complaint white car is harder to take care compare to dark colour ? I've been owned a white car for more than 12 years previous (until July this year), it way easier to take care compare to dark colour car.

The car was parked outdoor (live in flat ma) for around 10 years, day and night expose to sunlight, dust, acid rain....till the moment i sold the car ppl still don't believe the paint was that old..tot o i just respray years back...

Washing with water is just like u bathing w/o soap, how do you expect to be clean (especially after heavy down pour), you need to have a good shampoo which have decent cleaning power YET do not strip off your protection layer that FAST.


Instead keep 'polishing' few times a year, i would top up wax averagely 3-6 months depend on the protection layer....

Getting good protect. having good technique is one thing, knowing HOW to utalise the product is ANOTHER THING !

Most of ppl will pour kao kao wax or polisher thinking that the 'more' the longer it last....totally wrong wrong wrong mindset, waste of product - again same like your bathing soap....

before i put in any recommendation, what is the budget u thinking to put invest for just 'shampoo' ....

Yes. Set Rm60 and above. Not much good brand available in Malaysia but you can try either one below

Wanna ask, when you collect your new car from dealer, what is the mileage like ? I heard some 'brand' or 'dealer' said should be around 20-30Km, some said below 50km is ok/

This is how bodykit being install....image supplied by a friend recently had very bad service from this dealer.
