Hi All, I am a silent member and reading all your posts since 3 to 4 months . I have booked my city v spec steel metallic last month. I have received a call from SA today that I can collect my car on Saturday . Hope I will get the car without any issues and sure will check the car as of your suggestions before taking. Thanks for you guys for your tons of info.

loose panel beneath the hand brake.... the car is almost perfect lol

Welcome aboard!!

i also notice.. i think can't tilt..only applies to C segment like Civic or altis.. i guess la ..not sure

want to ask all V owners with HU Touch screen.

If you turn volume to 8 or 9, does the sound is still slow or enough loud already.

Coz mine after the honda dealer replace the scratch panel under push start button, and reinstall back my HU, i feel the volume of the unit need to adjust to 11 or 12 then the sound is loud.

Try all balance left right and fader front and rear seems ok. Can Honda foremen wrongly pulg in back cable or need to adjust other thing?


From day one front speaker is loud than back if fader set to default 0. Does all of you have same setting?

my volume usually hovers around (weak 8-10 the loudest) ..

should be yours normal..me before open by honda...its around that loud already..

how about back speaker during normal listening fader default 0? honda test just set treble & bass maximum then hear like that..what la so simple..

i have mine 15-20

Which SC u went? The scratch panel you notice during collecting your car at showroom?

yes..after install tinted

its at sg long..can reveal the name..if u want to know i pm to you..

Congrats bro

Congratulation!

That was very unfortunate.

My HU also got chipped. Guess also after install tint. Still waiting for claim. How long you hv to wait for the claim?

is it? how come you also kena...how la they do job?

there is a risky also when you want them to install. Ending scracthes on your HU screen and aircond panel..you know that our aircond panel V spec you can't rub it..still will have hairline scratch if u do that. For me i use soft brush.

and before you want them to do the job just inform directly to foreman, to handle with care.

For my cases after install parts..other thing got scratch

if i know this happen i should stick with sticker only.

Yes you're right. Thats what I'm worried also. Fix one thing damage other. The foreman work with "not my car, why care" attitude.

What's the differences on coating, waxing and polishing? I cannot differentiate them. Which one should I choose to apply for my new coming car? What is the range of price?

Should I go for tinting window before or after applying it?

Coating - kind of treatment to have longer lasting wax to your car, give better protection plus easily maintenance. Coating usually come with 1 to 5 years of warranty. There are titanium, Teflon, crystal coat. Some might need returning for touch up every 6 months etc. Some do not need. The most high end coating like adding hardness later to the paint. Existing new car pain with rating of 3H. Some coating can go to 6H, 9H and 12H.

More coating techniques here :

but this is published 1 year back, some coating like gtechniq, gdox and many more not included.

To me, coating is just a burned in wax that last longer.

Waxing - add a layer of wax to protect your car. The wax can wear off 2 to 3 months based on usage and environment effects.

Polishing - to remove the wax content/ smoothen the layer to remove swivel. After the polish process, need to wax it.

All these are my own summary of understanding Pls don't shoot me. To have a better/accurate definition. please refer to online wiki or auto page.

In your case. You can choose to tint 1st or coat 1st. To me is better tint 1st only coat. Tint will need 4 hours and coat might take 4 hours to 1 full day or 2 days.

anyone did the Honda online survey?

I did mine and till date still have not receive the rm40 e voucher!
