Yup. Still that bubble-gummy sort of grape smell... thumbup.gif
I know the feeling. I remember I finished my first Megs Quick Detailer within one month. That was why I decided to go for the gallon once I can afford one.... icon_rolleyes.gif  Maybe you can share with a few guys and buy one gallon of Megs Last Touch. Diluted at 1:1 (1 part of LT to 1 part of water) you'd get 2 gallons (that would be 3.78L x 2 = 7.56L or 7560ml) of quick detailer at the price of...errrmm...I think it's around RM150/gallon.

LT need dilution one ah? will keep in mind (for when IF i really buy it). Also if for D156 spray wax, need dilution as well?

Meg Ultimate Quik Detailer
RM 70 / 650ml (RM70 discount 20% = RM56)

Last Touch
RM150 / 7560 ml = 11.5 bottle UQD = worth 11.5 * RM56 = RM664 worth of UQD! (after 20% discount somemore) drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif its like 77% discount!

EDIT: wrong info above, D155 is not equal UQD, should be equal QD (redbottle)

This is the one I'm talking about:

It's actually kinda small...maybe around 2" or 2 1/2" in diameter. But I find the size is just nice for my low profile tyres (217/45/17).

scoutfai, you're right. Most of the Kiwi sponges are already loaded with their shine/polish/wax, but the one above isn't. Actually, if you bought one of those, why don't you try it on. It actually gives quite a nice mat/satin sheen to the rubber...kind of the 'new rubber' look. Very nice looking if if you ask me, especially since I'm the kinda guy who aren't really fond of those shiny/wet looking finish. Something like Dodo Juice Tyromania look.

Daiso has the exact same thing!! (not kiwi brand la) but upon my first polish on my shoe, the sponge fall off from the plastic holder already haha.

Last Touch is Megs Quick Detailer equivalent - the reddish bottle, not Ultimate Quick Detailer - the black bottle.

Megs Ultimate Quick Detailer equivalent would be M135 - Mirror Glaze Synthetic Spray Detailer

D156 is Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax, equivalent to Ultimate Quick Wax

I seldom see much of Megs Quick Detailer around anymore. Not sure whether it's still around or not. But if I'm not mistaken they're around RM45 or so for a 16oz bottle.

As stated by KrisMas, Duragloss Malaysia carries one.
GoodWellCarGoods also carry a kind from Gilmour foam gun (RM500+) and a made in China which they claim on par with Gilmour (RM200-).
Not sure the price is worthy or not though.
But I am more curious to know pin type or dial type is better.
One can see pin type usually brass, dial type usually plastic.

Yes, I do have a feeling this shop has a bit high profit margin.
But they do carry a lot of stuff that you only get to see in foreign website.

I would think Gorilla Glue would be more suited for the task.

You mean the gallons? Well...here and there...friends and acquaintances...but normally from local dealers and/or agents. LYN Trade section is a good place to start looking..... brows.gif

Then a note to remember:

A good quality coating that's easy enough (*almost* idiot proof) for an inexperienced hobbyist to apply would cost around RM300 (product only)...but that's the easy part. The more difficult and time consuming part would be the preparation of the paint before the application of the coating. Remember, a good quality coating would last for years (if properly maintained) so you'd need to get the surface preparation correctly (unless you don't mind sealing some of those imperfections/defects under the coating).

Secondly, I couldn't stress more on the importance of PROPER and REGULAR MAINTENANCE - proper washing products, tools and techniques. Else, all those money and time spent for the coating job would literally be flushed down the drain in no time. So, I would strongly suggest to read up on MAINTENANCE as, personally, I would consider it to be the most important part in detailing and car care.

Well....errr....if you put it that way...then basically...yes. And that alone would roughly take you easily around 2hrs ~ 3hrs. But, actually, I thought you were talking about 'coating' but then it's sealant and wax. In detailing terms/understandings, you're actually talking about three different products for paint protection. Go slow bro...go slow...

Read through those articles as much as you possibly can first la....or at least learn about the basics first and get the facts right. Afterwards, if you have any questions, no matter how silly you think they are, come back and ask. Plenty of people here would be kind enough to guide you.
