Ya imo meg really no good lol. Permanon can last longer like 2~3 months parking outside 24/7 by my experience.

how frequent do you wash your car and what kinda of product do you use to wash your car ? Can't just blame the wax not long lasting, should also look at how did you maintain it.

i'm on megs ultimate liquid wax topped with sonax brilliant shine detailer...

since january till now still beads/sheets (refer my previous picture taken last 1-2 weeks ago or so.)

Thank you very much Is it advisable to wax a week old car? Would it damage my paint?

permanon is a coating or just layer of 'quick' wax  ?

I think he means this product:
Platinum Diamond 50ml

Description here:
Platinum Diamond

A coating that is not as famou as Opti Coat, 22PLE, etc but one unique thing about it is, you dilute it yourself!
Where as Opti Coat, 22PLE, etc you have to use it straight out from the bottle. And these Opti Coat, 22PLE all sold in small little bottle.
The Permanon can be bought in 1 Liter ! And then you dilute it youself, can be used on all surfaces. Feel like an economical spray wax with very long durability to me, but it is a coating, it has silica inside.

Oops then it is even more odd.
But i have never used this product myself so I am unable to give conclusive opinion.
Maybe it is a kind of coating which is not design to give extreme sleekness and water bead like Opti Coat and 22PLE ?
Just like wax, some wax not bead well but the protection is still there.

looks nice. Where can we find here in malaysia? price??

Hey Thanks a lot!! Didn't think about that..   

Tomorrow will be my first day to do compounding.. Hope i didn't mess up the car paint 

My car color is Aster grey and 1 year never done waxing / polishing before. Paint is stock (not re-painted)

After using UC, water spots totally disappear and swirl mark / scratches hiding into the paint which is great.. However, I noticed several white spots appear after buffing.



What is the cause of these? These white spots appear all over the car..

Steps that i took:

- Wash

- Clay

- UC

- Paste Wax

Hope experts can explain / help me solving these problem.. Thanks

posted previously already

yeap, last time i at a well-known shop at taman mayang pj, they provide surface preparation before apply. i think the permanon is not bad, just not up to my expectation in water beading + sheeting. the gloss also not as shining as compare to wax.

Ya, i still have ard 500ml brilliant shine. u wan? i sell u cheap cheap haha

You need to be aware of their level of expectation and definition of "sophisticated work".
To most people, swirl is not even consider a paint problem. Orange Peel is something only nonsense people will complain about. So what is considered okay, acceptable risk to them, might not be acceptable to you at any bit at all. You yourself understand your own demand the best, so you cannot take others' advice for granted and blindly believe it in. Experiment with it, and if the result is within your expectation, continue using it. Otherwise, continue the search.

Cheap masking tape has a tendency to leave glue reside, being over strong or too weak in adhesive power, and some might not be chemically resistant enough so when your product mix with it, the color (if it has one) can actually dissolve and stain your paint. I have once used cheap masking tape during waxing, end up it leaves a lot of glue residue. The residue is so strong that I have to use mild solvent like turpentine to rub it. This does dissolve the glue residue but at the same time it also removes the wax adjacent to it, so I have to delicately apply wax at this area again. It is a double work for me. Learned it once and never repeat the same mistake again.

That does not mean all RM5 masking tape is worthless piece of shit, but you need to evaluate each yourself and once you successfully find one:
1) Share it here of course. 
2) Stick to the combination that works for you. Like Mike Phillips from Autogeek always say, choose something you like and use it often.

i'm planning to get a bar of clay.. but recently came across that there's different grading for them ? there's harsh and mild clay are the 3M clay bars widely sold in this forum safe to be used for detailing ?

More details please. What stain and from which part of plastic? And how long has it been there? Some pics would be even better.....
