You could also try to consider CarPro ReLoad....

Just a normal glass coat...not a permanent type of coating....sorry but can't disclose (though somehow quite a few ppl knows already)...
But I think I can tell you what I've tried: AQuartz, CQuartz, OptiCoat (1st version), GZox RGC, RainAway (samples), ArtDeShine (samples), 22ple, also a few samples of prototypes that didn't make it into the market.....

Hey...how did you do that? I mean putting my nick in that squarish box thingy...???? What does it suppose to do?

that's like name tag on facebook lar

[ @ name ]

without the space of course

like this

oh, how is 22ple? this is a singaporean product right? is it expensive to coat using this?

you need to ask them, what is 3 layer.

wow.. glass based sealant... in a Spray bottle!! ehehe.. that would render my ULW next to useless quite interesting though.. something to think about. how long does it last? and where can we buy this?

i've read reviews of AquaWax being not as durable as UQW. but its cheaper though.. and can be used while drying the car.. that should cut down the time i spend with my metal mistress and put a smile back onto my wifey's face.. sigh.. decisions.. decisions...

yeah.. fully agree.. nowadays detailing shops are mushrooming and everybody seems to be claiming x number of layers..

Of all the products, you HAVE to ask about this one eh??? I wonder why.....
Not sure how much la. I'm a cheapskate so I just buy stuffs and do myself, although it's cheaper (?) this way but a lot more tiring (but compensated by the satisfactions). I only know of a couple (?) of places doing this locally...maybe around 2k or so, and that's a BIG maybe.

On its own, maybe can last a couple of months or so. Can also be diluted or 'wax-on-wet' as they say, for topping up once in a while.

because it is most memorable with its coating drying into a hard clear thing at the bottom once exposed to air

if u know what i'm saying, else just forget about it haha

2k????

can repaint already

hmm.. not bad.. so if i use it on its own, do i still continue the routine of wash + UQD weekly? anyway, any idea where i can get this? i'm only seeing it at ultimateshine.com.my. can't seem to find it anywhere else. have you bought anything there before? If the prices there are with shipping i would say that its very very reasonable.

Tell me about it...the main 'excuse' for DIY. Anyway, when a place use the word 'coating', you're already looking at four figure man...it's the most hot selling word right now....hehehe....
repaint vs coating.....here come that conundrum again....

I think UQD would spoil it...that thing got quite a strong cleaner in it. Haven't tried that one before though...just my presumptions based on what UQD can do to other waxes/sealants.

I bought a few stuffs from them before, including my CQuartz and a couple of bottles of ReLoad (to name a few....heheh). I can't say I would vouch for him but I had known the owner for quite a few years already and met him personally on a number of occasions. You can COD with him cuz he's around Klang Valley. Doesn't seem to have ReLoad in stock though.....

There is another place that I found in fb...sort of the 'Authorised' CarPro dealer...but the page is quite dormat....I think they're based in Penang....

tell me about it.

i'm still old fashioned sticking to my trusty old M21 2.0 + UQW

i want to try glass coating though but can't afford it no matter how i skin the cat

Don't get me wrong....waxes/sealants are still cool and I still like them very much. Maybe I'll re-visit when the kids are all grown up and can take care of themselves. Anyway, also feeling some 'lazybones' slowly developing.....hahahaha.....

i still have some M83 and M80 left but no rotary (my dumb B&D KP600 isn't powderful enough lol) or DA to do anything

see when i have the money then i invest in a el-cheapo DA

ehehe.. what's ur verdict on CQuartz? maybe i can get that and use Reload as a topper that should cut down my maintenance schedule

yeap.. main reason my home minister is frowning on my new hobby is because she thinks i should be spending more time with my kids (one 2.5 years old, and another 4 month old).

any cheapo DA to recommend? the cheapest i can find also close to RM800

can't recommend as i think its quite expensive

there's the bosch 270ae or something. i wonder if anyone has it?

the latest model is the GEX 125-1 AE, but its a ROB and at most used for non-defect removing polishing and waxing. limited ability to correct defects. RM350.. am wondering if this is gonna be a smart investment still contemplating. I dont really need a rotary as i do not have defects to correct (except for the orange peel). a DA should be ideal. need to speed up the polishing and waxing process..

Quite durable. If well maintained, I think can easily last 1 year or more. Problem is, application is a bit tricky...or should I say problematic if not done correctly.

Do not underestimate the power of the Bosch....or should I say the Bosch ROB combined with some of the latest compounds/polishes/pads.....forgot already ka....??

China DA @ RM450 ok?

ugh.. i think i'm not gonna consider coatings until i have more experience with defect detection and removal. Dont want to be locking in all the defects but i'm really taken aback by the videos of the CarPro Reload i'm a sucker for good advertising.. unfortunately (or rather fortunately ) no stock for the time being. How did you use it previously? Did you dilute it until it became a QD? or just spray on once and then normal weekly washes?

oh ya, i remembered your posting on the ROB. eheheh hey maybe i dont need to spend that much anyway.. Osren's Ultramate cost about RM800 right?

wow. where did you find this thing?

After a wash, I just sheet most of the water off, then spray on and spread, wipe and buff with a dry mf after leaving it briefly to dry a little. Two half-sprays for the size of a door panel. I use OCWax and other spray waxes/sealants the same way. Having *some* water on the surface seemed to produce less streaking on my burgundy waja....

Ya...I think Ultramate is around that price.

thanks for the advise bro.. i may give it a go once i've had more experience with detecting and correcting defects on my car still not enough experience points/level yet..

sigh.. 800 is quite a long shot for me (after all that i've spent so far ).. hopefully i get more bonus this year, but judging from my company's performance, seems highly unlikely i may have to defer this

btw.. i went to the mydetailingkakis site to check on your previous post on sanding and polishing with the ROB. it looks pretty abandoned..
