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.

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? sweat.gif

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.

Oh, new car is it.

Then not much paint correction to be done really, but still better do before coating. I mean just a light one will be just fine.

Mostly shop give quotation price range on RM250-RM550..using Meguiars..

For coating thinking either Opti Coat or Igreenlover quartzcoat... sweat.gif

Wrong technique doing some touch up paint...now this thing becoming worst....put clear coat on base coat without waiting drying..and base coat melting together...

now last method to remove it by wetsand with grid 1500 - 2000 and then do some rubbing compound?
