WOW! Ree73, thanks for replying!  thumbup.gif

Just want to share as b4 this I also wondering should I wax or coat or no need at all.

coating is like they take your years of waxing $ 1st, and give warranty to you (all include)

wax is like you need to manually every 3 months go waxing, this I worry what if on every waxing, they add more scratch to the surface?

and I did think of don't care at all, once on 5th years, as it damage, bring to repaint!

all costing almost the same, coat might be 2k for 5 years, wax each wax 100+(for every 1 year 4 times, 20 times for 5 years) it also ring to a total of 2k plus. For repaint, it also around 2k plus....

So end up. I choose coat as it is easy to maint. after coat, just bring for normal hand wash or simple DIY hand wash with microfiber cloth. thumbup.gif

Protect to certain extend. nothing is 100% protected!!! I use diamond to scratch your car... see what coat will last that?!!! ahhaha.
No need diamond also can get scratch d... like kak kiki hentam your car. will get scratch for sure smile.gif

I believe jeff from penang? I can share the coating finding if you are interested. But nothing is perfect. what if the coat shop close shop? for sure there will be no more warranty if the shop is close tongue.gif

so far I see the most shinning coating is gdox... but not cheap man, I think it will cost 3k to 5k for the most berkelip kelip coat!!!

this got its disadvantages also. what if minor accident, they cannot repaint due to too thickness of coat. they need to remove all coat and repaint. for sure this will add extra $ to paint and recoat.

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...

hmmm, repaint every 5 years!! tongue.gif Or move to new place tongue.gif
Kidding. try to find those 12H hardness coating. but if those kid go scratch your car with metal, use stone to scratch... I don't think any coat will help on that. Maybe you can do some research on this. To me 5k to 7k coat is way too expensive hmm.gif

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

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

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

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...

I didn add any additional lock. Quite safe on my parking at home and office tongue.gif

Hi Honda City Owners, someone had done their 10k service and here is the problem being highlighted during second service with all the price listed for the parts replacement and labor cost apply for it. Which is consider high cost for maintenance on 10k service as compare with Honda listed price on schedule maintenance via Honda official websites.  sweat.gif

Seems like they add a lot of thing, once you coat your car, can tell them not to wash window, not to wash engine etc.
