Requested a re-coat during first service. Car came out with great amount of swirl marks, severe swirl mark, it is like my car was trapped in million of spider webs.
I'm so pissed now. Their craftsmanship of Tribos suck big time.

It look kind of oily under direct sun-light. But it is not, its swirl marks.





Swirl mark only appear under direct light sources, images can't tell you much, but it is million of it.

Anyone who do not satisfied with their Tribos, please think twice. Their so called specialist Tribos applicator are just noob and have not much knowledge upon car detailing, they de-coat my car by just whack the paint with a rotary polisher, and then re-coat with zero passion.

Already contact them, I mean the optimum coating.
They will arrange an appointment to inspect my car.

I did it at Glenmarie.

Haven't lodge a proper complaint. Will do later.
Haiz. I have no trust on Tribos's worker already. I won't let them touch my car again even they want to recover it.

You can't. This is what in my mind before getting my car, too.
Too many complaint upon Tribos, you may refer to CX5 club.

Never impress by its performance. It up swift real soon to preserve your FC.
I did impressed by its gear ratio. All gear can be done below 1500-1800rpm (minimum). Doing 60km/h at 1200rpm and 80km/h at nearly 1800rpm.

This one no need respray, carbon fiber look great. Matches with carbon fiber bodykits with matte black 19" rims.
Oh yeah, and respray your roof top to glossy black (match the colour to your sunroof) too.
And now, imagine the outcome.

Just paint your original rim to matte black bro. It won't cost too much.

Specifically on the rim itself or the whole package, in case we spray it?

Yo Miloc. Glad to see you here again. Did you join our M6 Facebook Page yet?
My car also got some detailing problem, you may refer back to my previous post.
Talk to their branch manager (Glenmarie), waiting their appointment to send in my car for major touch up.

Yes, it's me. Can't believe we met twice at Glenmarie showroom and SC.
Then I wonder why you sent your car to PJ (Federal Highway) instead of Glenmaria?
I asked who actually handle my car during de-coating process. Sadly to say that, people who polished my car was those bangla car wash workers over there. Then Tribos guys only handle coating. So it is basically two batches of people handled my car that time.
I lodged a complaint until their managerial level. Met their branch manager, their solution now is required my to sent in my car to re-do the overall process again (de-coat, polish and re-coat), this time around, Tribos guys will handle both the polishing work.
Let's see how it goes then. Your review of PJ SC seem quite good. Will try there next time.

As far as I concern, Glenmaria will outsource their body paint works to others third parties.
So PJ branch actually have the facilities for body paint or spray work?

Bro, since you're so in love the "Meteor Gray" colour on Mazda6.
I believe F30 having similar colour right? The Mineral Grey (Sport Line) or Imperial Blue Brilliant (Luxury Line).
Wonder why you get the solid Alpine White instead.
My take would be the Melbourne Red for Sport Line or either one the above mentioned colors for Luxury Line. Well, only in my dream.

I'm totally feel you bro, we are almost in the same case.
I'm currently driving Mazda6 2.0L. My ex-ride was FD2 and you should know the suspension setup is just so terribly harsh and firm.
Having said that, my ex-FD2 also fully foamed and sound proofed at KLAuto, still, not much improve in term of comfort.
If comfort is your main priority, comfort level is step ahead of your Mazda3 due to its high profile tyres and suspension setup.
In my point of view, M6 striked the best balance upon driving dynamic which mean it is not as soft as Toyota and Nissan (too soft equal not fun to drive, but you get high level of comfort) and it is not as harsh as those Honda/Kia or Hyundai (too stiff means great handling while compromised on comfort level, unless you get those conti like VW/Pug/Audi etc.).
You should request a test drive and try yourself.

As for 17", I prefer the luxury line one. The five spoke rim on 320i sport line look small and cheap.
328i 18" look way better in every trim.

After all sort of complaints and appointment, I finally sent in my car for a major touch up.
Two Tribos Specialists are set to handled my car. Such a nice guys and I learnt a lot.
Accordingly, my car was not being done nicely (polishing work), those bangla workers properly didn't do the finishing work.




Re-applied from the ground up. My car was being coated over and over again.



Here's the hero, this thing eat up all those swirl mark magically.

Final results. Although it is not totally swirl-free, at least it is being reduced dramatically over 70%. I'm satisfied this time.




Note to those SOUL RED owners. No touch-up paint currently, drive carefully to avoid stone chips.

If follow your logic, baked or hardened "glass" layer should be very fragile since it is so thin, one tiny stone will destroy the entire coating. Make no sense.
First off, there are varieties of automotive coating available out there such as synthetic based, sealant based, nano glass coating, ceramic based and so forth. Flexibilities is one should consider, that's why some coating require to do minor touch up every 6 months or within a period of time.
I'm not an expert for this, but some glass solution are sprayed and some are applied with clothes, really make me confused.
Nothing wrong if people want to protect their car's paint at their best, just chose the one which feel comfortable to your wallet.
For me, the proven and best paint protection would be the "clear coat".

Wow, 6000k. Which Korean made brand?
Do you have ballast and relay?
Also, the manual leveling still workable?
