hmm i may visit them this sat, see how lol...

Good luck.

last time i maintain my car using permanon platinum coating + brillianshine car shampoo, after CNY now trying turtle wax carnauba wax + meguairs nxt gen shampoo.

both glossy / shine effect about the same to me (white car), but durability dunno yet...

any sifu can recommend wax/selant/coating that lasts long with weekly car wash? lazy to do detailing eh...

Probably watermark has etched into the clearcoat. Might need to try compounding/polishing to remove that.

How much u bought the grit guard ??

The Brilliant Shine Detailer looks promising. Do correct me if i am wrong. This "spray topper" is something in which you apply after you have applied the wax and cannot be in any manner whatsoever be used as a substitute to an actual wax application, yes?

So, is it safe to say that this "spray topper" is an additional step people used to enhance further the appearance of their car?

I intend to get the SGCB Coating Wax RM69 because the price is very very competitive and it was the same kind the shop used to finished off my 4 layer polish so i am comfortable with it because i have seen its outcome but it seems that the phone calls to the SGCB HQ hotline went unanswered for 3 days straight so i am looking at alternatives.

Any suggestions to a specific product which carries the same effect of the SGCB Coating Wax?

Yes. The Sonax BSD is for application after wax or after wash on top of existing wax/sealant, not a substitute for one. It can be use as such but the protection wouldn't be as good as a proper one...still good but just not as good.

Not just an additional step to enhance the look, these spray waxes are also meant for MAINTENANCE. Using it will stretch the durability of the underlaying wax/sealant so you don't have to re-apply them frequently.

Don't know about SGCB's products as haven't tried them before. But so far most spray waxes are quite compatible with other waxes/sealants from different brands. I have a few spray waxes and waxes/sealants and so far I haven't had any major issues in term of compatibility.

Just want to add another wax/sealant topper to the mix, Osren Surface Conditioner.
A litre of product makes four litres as it is a concentrate.
A ready to use spray bottle version should be available too.

Regarding the spray bottles from Osren, I have been advised not to use acid based cleaners in it because it will kill the spray pump

Sorry it is on the rear glass. Paint job I managed to removed it via DA polisher and compounding

Oh okay, rear glass. My bad. If that's the case, get a glass polish and sand it using 3M microfine sanding sponge/glass cutting pad(something like this -> http://www.autogeek.net/glass-polishing-pad-5inch.html)

Found one seller selling glass polish powder in Automotive Garage.

OSREN has it too.

For me Osren worth for money..

Yeap. But I am not exactly sure OSREN's glass polish powder size in term of ml. Just know it's RM100/bottle.

FWAH! there are just too many things to take in and digest back then I thought maintaining a car is just as simple as wash, wax and polish.

So to summarize, wax protects the paint job, and the "spray topper" protects the wax so that the wax does not wears off prematurely?

I also understand that the "spray topper" also provides water beading properties thus sharing almost the same characteristics as wax. I used water beading to determine if my car needs a proper waxing so, if i apply the "spray topper" weekly after my car wash then technically speaking, my car will have the water beading properties therefore i will never know if my car's wax has wear off?

Sorry to have asked so many questions :T__T:

From the description, it looks like a syntactic sealant, no canuaba was mention. I don't understand the last sentence of "suitable for imported car, luxury paint".
I haven't use any SGCB product before, but if it is just sealant than you can look at Meguiar’s #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0, Collinitr 476. I'm using 476 with aqua wax or ocwax as topper/booster/spray wax. You can omit the topper if you think is too much work.

The absence of water beading to naked eyes is not a necessary implication that the wax is no longer exist on the paint surface. It is however a sign that the wax has either getting thinner, deteriorated or contaminated by foreign substances (such as dirt) on its surface due to common wear over time.

Meguiar's recommends performing "Squeak Test" to test presence of wax on the paint surface.
Squeak Test

You do not necessary believe in Meguiar's method though.
Do a comparison feeling by yourself. Usually one will not wax the interior paint surface, like the paint surface around door. Touch this surface, rub it a bit, you will hear a squeak sound, indication of 100% clean surface, just like the sound in dish detergent commercial in tv, where the housewife move the finger from tip to tip on the clean dish and the recognizable "clean" sound produced. Same goes to paint surface. If it is 100% clean (no wax), you hear this sound as well easily.
If you do not hear this sound after you wash your car, chances are your car still has the wax on this particular area.

But it makes no harm to wax again. Every one here is overkill LOL.

Lol, I agree with your last statement
And I am one of them too haha.

OH! So it's a sealant then? I know we can substitute sealant as wax because both of them actually does pretty much the same thing. I've seen my detailer applied the SGCB Coating Wax (paste form). Few seconds after application, a white layer appears and he just wipes it off with a microfiber cloth. It seemed easy i intend to try it myself from now on otherwise, they are going to charge me at least RM100.00 for one session (car wash, polish (if required) and then the sealant).

This thing retails at RM69 only and i am sure i can apply it for more than one time

I'll most probably omit the topper because i am not familiar with it T_T

The Meguiar's #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 seemed liquid in form. Do they have anything similar but in paste form or is liquid form superior to that of a paste form?

(Out of topic) I think the effect of SGCB coating wax looks appealing to me. Just not sure about its durability.

Haha, actually it's not that complicated. Just a spray wax. Provide a quicker way to wax only. Also, to top-up wax on the current paint surface.

Yeah, the effect is appealing in comparison with its price. I think i saw someone made a post here that the contents of the SGCB Coating Wax is "curiously" similar to that of Meguiar and with some additional good properties in it.

In any event, I will try dropping by the HQ later in the afternoon and see if i can pick up one.

HEADS UP GUYS. Small detailing TT tonight.
