Do not polish the car, unless your clear coat is badly damaged/

Look for some package where they can clay your car, and then wax it. Then it shall look shiny again.

Thanks for the advices , will google it later ... not sure whether can do it myself or not .... never try waxing before

You need to clay first before wax.

The recommended procedure will be wash - dry - clay - wash - dry - wax...
Can take up to 4 to 5 hours in total for a proper process....

oO i tot just wash - dry - clay - wax

hmm ... just saw some video , seems it's not too difficult but a bit time consuming.
whenever i think of sending the car for wax , something pop up in my mind, who's gonna to take good care of your car like how u always do (p/s : when i saw their staff they looks inexperience), yet it's much more cheaper to do it myself . Sigh wat to do ,my 1st NEW car , 1st waxing >.<

Hi,
For those with aircon problems (aircon too cold & fogging even set to minimal, air flow stuck etc), please ask the SC to change aircon thermoamp (dunno spelling right or not). After change, my aircon back to normal...

Mine got cling cling sound when aircond turn to full blast ==

ii. tell them to reflash the current ECU/TCU/CVT settings as per the bulletin released by proton
btw ECU / TCU / CVT is 3 different updates or they go as one ?for e.g if i request to updates ECU , they will automatically updates 3 of them or just ECU . rclxub.gif

CVT <-- the "gearbox" itself..
TCU <-- the computer that control the CVT..
ECU <-- the computer that controls almost everything (engine, etc..)

if u update the ECU, TCU needs to be updated as well.. TCU can be updated alone without updating ECU..

Thanks for the clarification , now i understand nod.gif

both outlook also ok to me. i'm not so much concern on the appearance, quality and reliability is more of my priority.

like you all said, no one knows the reliability since it's in the market around 1-2 years only, which is my biggest concern. but having drive a saga with campro engine for more than 3 years, the engine did not give me much headache. i note that proton is improving by the day, but really have a benefits of doubt for the new turbo for its reliability.

sigh.

Realiability
Engine wise so far so good, dint come across to any complain from this forum... anyway others parts like power windows , centre aircond , rusty exhaust part , disc brake , push start button (some cannot start some cannot off) these problems might cause you to send your car to sc on and off for at least 3 to 4 times during 1k - 10 k services.


Appearance & Spec
so far every1 is impress with its outlook, Preve really looks cool (inside and outside)

Performance
I can easily overtake most of the car otr (Most of the proton / perodua / toyota / honda Car......)
it still very stable when driving at 140-160km / hr



FC before reflash (the car will not respond/move for the 1st 2 second when we floor the pedal from stationary),at that time the worst FC i got is average of 11-15L/100km during heavy jam to standstill

After reflash, (the car is very well respond) but the FC went to 21L/100km under the same situation.





Hope this will helps ...

Whenever after reflash, its a brand new software, u need to drive some to learn your driving style and adapt to it. after that The FC will be better.
*
Hope so , but anyway FC is not really my concern , my average milleage is about 500km per month only ...
now all my problem has been fixed
- 4 sides of power windows issue
- replaced new brake disc
- respray rusty exhaust part
- reflash ecu (no more delay)


minor problem that have been ignored are Poor Radio Reception & rattling sound from centre aircond

i was like that last time. Until all my friends started driving and den SPEED IS REALLY IMPORTANT

Agreed , especially when u want to overtake car ,if u have been driving in those 2 way road (usually in kampung) then u will know. if your car is under power then u will have no choice but to follow at the back of those heavy truck
