You can get this type of sheeting (well...just about) with *almost* all of the good quality waxes/sealants from the well established brands when they're still clean and fresh. The difference would be in the speed - how fast water sheet off, and durability - how long they can maintain the 'clean' sheeting-off actions. The top quality coatings' sheeting speed is INSANELY fast. Let see if I can get it on video tomorrow.

Currently I'm on 22ple. Maybe MWC or arj can show how CQUK and Dodo Juice Infinity Sealant behaves.

I'm afraid currently there's no local supplier. You'd need to get it from outside.

Should be in the range of RM250 for the VX1 Signature. Hrrmm....might just be a good idea to drop by there again for another visit eh Mr. Q....

Errr...bro, I think you're in the wrong place.....

But, maybe I could try answering anyway. As far as I know, as long the light isn't those blinking type and not red or blue colour (police, ambulance, etc. colour), you're fine. For warranty, I don't know.

You can try http://esotericcarcare.com/Brands/22PLE-Glass-coating-usa then and see whether they ship them here. UK are selling sooooo expensive.

Beading on some of the coatings that I've tried can be described as quite 'uniform' and they would normally lay out in a certain 'array'.

Not sure if you guys would notice it from the picture below.

DO NOT use those normal cooking vinegar...they are full of 'other' stuffs inside it and difficult to rinse off, especially the smell. Try to find a better quality distilled vinegar instead. Shouldn't cost much.

No need to go ACE la....normal place like Giant, Tesco, etc. also got.

Yup. That looks good. Btw, you don't use it to 'wash' mfs, u use it as the 2nd final rinse to neutralise any remaining detergent. You'd still need to rinse again with plain water to get rid of the vinegar mix. One tablespoon for a couple of litres of water is good enough dilution already.

If they're 'loose' and you plan to polish the panel, just a gentle swipe (not wipe) on those parts with a plush microfiber cloth before polishing is fine. No need for QD or anything.

Not many coatings are available to purchase for DIY. Those that are ranges from around RM200 ~ RM400. For these you can find plenty of reviews online. But many shop nowadays are using those that cannot be purchased and, for these coatings, curiously, not many reviews/feedback from users. Another thing to note is some shops that uses normal wax/sealant also boast the word 'coating'. The reason being, they're using products from Taiwan, Korea, Japan, etc. which, on the label and by direct translation, would means 'coating' but in actual fact they are waxes/sealant. I'm guessing the cheaper 'coating' jobs are using these instead of the 'true' coating.

Again, for a new car and if you're just starting to get into taking care of the car yourself, concentrate first on washing and maintenance - shampoo, wash mitt, all purpose cleaner, drying cloth, etc. including the proper techniques and methods.

Group buy of what? Products, tools, accessories....?

Haven't heard much of a 'convincing' reviews about them....

Personally...not worth it. If you're on a budget, give it some time and find an additional RM150 and get the Bosch GEX 125 AE.

Not sure if there's anything else in that price range...unless you want to get a rotary polisher (China brands). The Bosch (the older model that's been superseded by this one) has been commonly used and accepted by many detailing enthusiasts as a reliable and useful machine for light correction work (polishing) and for applying waxes/sealants. And with the advancement of polishes/compounds and pads, it could actually do more than it was able to as compared to decades ago when it first came out.

I've heard of many who had started getting into detailing as a hobby and bought the B&D but, soon enough, 'upgraded' to the Bosch (or rotary) due to the lack of it's ability to do anything else but applying waxes/sealants.

I don't. Too risky. I'd normally shut one eye and wait for the weekend to do my normal routine wash. If you're really OCD then there's one thing that you should know - the more you touch the paint and higher the risk/chance to get the swirls, etc.

Hrrrmm...they used to. I guess they didn't bring them in again....

But I found that using a stiff tooth brush or those nylon brushes that you can get in hardware store also worked...not the same or as good but they do work....

I'm using something like below...bought in ACE Hardware....less than RM10 for 3pcs

Nylon brush

Hello...sorry but I think you're in the wrong shop....

Megs New Car Kit is only for maintenance. If you want to clean stain and watermarks you need add a polish - Megs Ultimate Polish.....

It most probably would. Bt if got stain & spots which can't wash off then the coating isn't doing that well anymore....
