QUOTE(Avangelice @ Jan 3 2014, 12:20 PM) Hey guys, I just recently bought a Kia Cerato and I am thinking of giving it a coating to seal the new paint. That said I am in kuching and the things we get here all suck compared to KL. so i did a little searching and came upon this guys who clean luxury cars. http://www.webdo.cc/autowax/portal_a1.php?...2&button_num=a1heres their website. and the quotation was Paint cleaning and carnava wax 350(1.5 months) Paint cleaning and hydrophibic coating 550 (3 months) Paint correction and crystal coating 1200 (12 months) what do you guys think? should i get this? or can i just DIY with a wax job but i always feel I am making a mistake cleaning my car Firstly are you a DIY person? Do you just a clean car or a defect free shiny car? |

QUOTE(Avangelice @ Jan 4 2014, 12:46 AM) thanks muyo. I think ill just buy the hydrophobic coating first. 1.2k is alot you mean this one? Paint cleaning and hydrophibic coating 550 (3 months) 3 months refers to the durability right? Another option go to https://forum.lowyat.net/AutomotiveGarage and search for sellers doing PERMANON PLATINUM Coating Service. |

How about the feel? Does coating give the same feeling as wax/sealant when touched? I like smooth slippery feeling. |

QUOTE(Avangelice @ Jan 4 2014, 10:55 AM) I think I have the passion to wax my car on a regular basis since Kuching is like a dead town to me any ways. Ill buy the maguires car wax and do it every week or so. Btw guys thanks so much for replying my noob questions. Much respect for car enthusiasts as they are not selfish about keeping knowledge No need to wax every lah. So free meh? LOL Once a month is more than enough IMO. |

QUOTE(Avangelice @ Jan 4 2014, 11:24 AM) hahahaha...like i said noob here. To be honest I never waxed any car before and never ever sent my car for waxing. so yeah super noob in car detailing but what i do not lack is passion! One thing to note. You should get yourself a clay bar. It can remove the above surface dirt so that the wax can bond properly to the paint and also helps to make the surface smooth. |

Thanks since I'm still new at this at least I'm satisfied with the end results.
The water beading with this product is definitely better than the Meguiars Carnuba Wax I've tried last time.

I think if you all want a proper head to head comparison, put only 1 drop of water (0.05ml) at the top of the front bonnet and measure the time in seconds how long it takes to travel to the bottom of the bonnet.
The difficulty of this test is that you need to use the exact same car brand and model to perform the test. And these cars should only have the coating without any additional quick detailers on top.
