do anyone try to use Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean windshield (outer)  rclxub.gif
*
I did. You need more IPA, as I was advised, windscreen is harder and stronger hence need more alcohol to remove the dirt.

if i can I would love to DIY. I rather not depend on paying others as I have a house that is empty most of the time so I can use it to store my car stuff. I just am worried I make a mistake DIYing. Last week i washed the car and did the dash board the tire but I still felt not satisfied with the buff. I didnt wax cuz not sure how.

The stuff that you used might not get you the result you want, mind to share what did you used to clean?

I got all of them from Giant as I was rushing. Power101 or something like that. then i went to spring to get rainx and saw meguiars products. So yeah I wasted money getting malaysian made car products.

so my question is, is getting this crystal coating worth it? I think its a little hard to believe.
*
The only thing you need to be concerned of is the product durability.

Other than that, is the workmanship.

I coat my own car, the coating last. There are so many semi-permanent coating liquid out in the market.

what are you using mate? I think Ill diy. The crystal coating is crazy expensive rclxub.gif
*
I use Dodo Juice Infinity Sealant and CQ UK.

Actually the standard coating would be that kind of prices, as they will need to do paint correction prior to apply the coating.
Paint correction is a tedious task that require patient and time.

so would it be worth the 1k plus to do this car?

If the work is ok, and you can afford it.

Else if you think this is like something too much, then you can always DIY.

Seems like Opti-glass sheets water faster than Dodo Juice Supernatural Infinity Sealant. Or perhaps they use more water so it gives an "illusionary" effect? hmm.gif

What CoffeeDude says is right, this is just video and not a proper test environment. Like most people say, don't believe everything you read/see on internet.

There are other very good sheeting example from others, try and search for krismas video in v2 thread.

But I did make a mistake when apply this coating, my last clean process was done using DG501 before coating. You learn something new everyday...

How about the feel?
Does coating give the same feeling as wax/sealant when touched?
I like smooth slippery feeling. biggrin.gif
*
Since lately it has been raining, and I have the chance to observe and make comparison.

Wax memang feel licin la...

But coating beads water in a very odd way, the titisan air is aligned very nicely compared to surface that was waxed.

I dunno how to explain better, maybe krismas can.

Let's see if I have the chance to take photo not.

Haha that's the typical beading on the Latio engine bonnet biggrin.gif
That's normal actually smile.gif
What about the rest of the car?

The rest of it looks awkward, maybe because of the shape of the car.

Will take more photos next downpour.
