Dawn is a very strong cleaner for what it is (dish wash), I've left my detailing related stuff soaked in Sunlight dish wash in warm water overnight and so far so good. Maybe our Sunlight even though is the strongest on local market, is not as concentrated as Dawn.

It's not called "Dawn Power Dissolver" for nothing.

Actually, DPD isn't really for dishes, it's for cleaning those crud & burns-on food on pots and pans. I also use it to clean my barbeque grille before....

Oh...another note. Do wear a protective glove if possible, especially if you have sensitive skin.

got a quotation from a car wash centre - Full SUV car 3 layer polish and coating (include mirror and rim), 3 yrs warranty = RM1600 , brand is quartz coating.

is it worth?

Sounds like normal price for a coating job. New car?

Try using soap bar and spread on the pad like butter on bread. Rinse well after that. Works better than dish washing liquid and works well for me, hehe.

hi...any shop can doing paint correction? coating doing by myself..

Most shop can do paint correction. However their work quality is a different story

Give me one shop for reference abg arj...

http://autodetailer.co

There's also several detailers in the Automotive section of the forum offering their services, their work looks good.

This one sure price kabooommm...

Btw, Goodwell Car Detailer's Studio , Street West Coast Customs ( SWCC ) ,Auto Lovers Malaysia ok?

Let said i'm doing with them for paint correction and later back to home doing paint coat...it's okay?

Can try this shop:

Maximus Auto Car Care @ Kota Damansara

Good service!

Haven't seen their work so can't comment. Shouldn't be a problem to have the paint corrected elsewhere then bring the car home and do the coating yourself, provided you give the car a good wash again and do an IPA wipedown for good measure.

If you want a very very good detailer do pm me for contact his shop at the moment now wat jalan kilang, PJ. he can do sanding and all no problem depends on your budget.

why don't you put out this "very very good detailer" 's info for us to evaluate as well?

Used to run meguairs PJ Jalan templar (near the assunta round about)
Used to run all the gzox coating in malaysia
developed the gzox zero1 compound with the japanese counter parts
he is a personal friend and been maintaining my cars for 6 years now
he also the only master polisher for lamborghini malaysia

just sharing.

Mean after back to home just wash normal with plain water and let it dry. Later put coating on it?

It depends on how they "clean" your car after polish.

Proper way is to use IPA, to clean all residue(polish liquid etc) from your car then only apply coat.
Even if they do it, you can do it again though, just to be clean enough for the coating liquid to stick to your car paint nicely.

Also a small suggestion, apply the coat properly as instruct, then you will get a nice coated car.

Good Luck.

Wash -> IPA wipe down -> Coat.

Where can buy IPA?

For wash...using microfiber cloth? Sorry newbie..

Mix with water on ratio 1:10. Then spray onto your car and start wiping clean.

Yes, use microfiber cloth aka MF cloth to wipe.

TQ MWC...just waiting new car next week and send for paint correction..
