police wont accept this report also la. anything below $500 damage... cannot claim insurance

you can go for 12H coating, but no guarantee on will not scratch at all. 12H will be around rm2500 for city

maybe you can ask the coat ppl, 12H mean can protect what lvl of attack?

good tint and lock can cost you another 2k

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.

hi guys,

how secure is the new city? are those pedal lock absolutely necessary?

seems to be that it defeats the purpose of having push start when you still need to take out your key to unlock the pedal lock...

understand that it is a deterrent but with keyless entry and start, is it still that easy to duplicate your keys? or is it similar to european cars that it has immobilizer function built in?

I understand that if any thief has an intention of stealing our car, it is as good as gone regardless whatever security we have but i'd like to know without those pedal lock, is it relatively still safe?

Hi Ree73, I had set RM10k for a budget to add accessories for the car. Any recommendation for a good steerling lock? As I found from ENEOS the best one is cost RM260 with leather cover on top of the sterling lock. Look nice and if someone touch the sterling lock, horns will apply to it...

How bout u try the trex. Really considering to get the wireless 1 but quite pricey. Cheapest is 700, keyless is 1k and the gsm is 1.5k.

Ohh....the troll is back people......Fortunately for me, my ignore list has blocked out all the unwanted nonsense. LOL.

Hi Ree73, my living place there got animal and wild kids in which like to scratch people car. Sometimes motorcycle cross by if the place too narrow, they will force themselves to passby and have higher chance to get scratch for a new car. Therefore, I had search for a solution into it...
