Hey there... I am not the Yvonne you are referring.

I am a motoring blogger by interest. An Automotive Analyst by Profession.

Since 3M gave me whole lotsa detailing products as sponsorship . So i was thinking to ask first before hurting my car.

Which lines? Their consumer line that sells in the stores or those new ones in silver-ish sprayer bottle? I've tried a couple of stuffs in the consumer line (normal black bottles)and they are decent enough...nothing to shout about but good enough for general use. Haven't tried those that are in the silver-ish bottles...don't know if they're the same or different. I also have a few of their 3M Perfect It compounds/polishes...good...but not so promising. I like their buffing pads though....

Time starts at around 9.30pm until....well...some times it could go until the wee hours...

Meaning to stop by there later this afternoon after work...well...not really 'there' there but plan to do some groceries shopping at Jaya Grocer and ACE is just beside it. You want me to get you one if I can find it there? I can pass it to you at the TT....

I can volunteer to test them if you want

I'm just a hobbyist/enthusiast with no associations what-so-ever with any brands. I'm always eager to try out new products (especially the 3M new silver packagings lines) and interested to see whether 3M had made any progress with their products after Meguiars takeover.....

Oh...and don't worry. I don't think a huge name like 3M would produce something that would 'hurt' your car....cuz it would 'hurt' them more if they did....hehehe.....

ps. just make sure you read the label and use them as instructed....just to be safe....

I have the range of the silver-ish bottles from :-

All Purpose Scrub
Spray Wax
Leather and Vinyl Restorer
Tire Restorer

I heard the feedback from others detailing shop it is not bad thou. Tot of getting more advise before trying it on my ride.

Cause my ride is WHITE and I dont wanna hurt it that badly.

You are real funny!

I am eager to try as well! My ride has been a product testing ride since I receive my 1st sponsor. It is scary and yet it is fun.

Anyhow, i did something stupid to my headlamp .. they are not my sponsor but i decided to be white rat in the lab. Product testing is fun la...but the risks always there.

You should be alright with those. Just remember one thing though: product is just one part of the equation. The rest are method, techniques, tools and accessories, etc.

For example, lets just assume that the Spray Wax is an excellent product. You'd need a good quality microfiber cloth and the right approach/method/technique to go with it. On many occasions people tends to blame the products when, in actual fact, they just didn't use/apply them properly.....

Well....nothing stupid about that...part of the learning process. Unless....you didn't learn anything and did the whole thing again.....hahahaha.....

Yeah....the risks are always there when trying/DIY stuffs. But much would be reduced when you start by getting to know what you're trying to do BEFORE you actually start doing it. I tell you...some of the 'stupids' stuff I've tried...like getting an RM50 products to 'restore' something that would only cost me RM20 to replace...is that stupid or what?

These silver one?

Earlier on, 3M gave me another kinda spray. I had it done at the professional. Fully spray at the Infrared Room and let it sit for hours before I collect it.

It was awesome. Yes, i agreed with what you said, never fully blame on the products when wrong application kicks in. This is very important for me as well, because the 3M personnel will constantly ask for feedback from me.

Eh? I tot you said your ride is white?

Anyway....hrrrmm....would that be the 3M Paint Defender going onto the front of the hood there?

kekekekekekekekkekekekekeke : my ride is white....unfortunately, that day my ride is with Option Malaysia's Magazine. Had to used my colleague's Latio. And he is happy with it.

Wow...Kris...smart huh.....Paint Defender

Yeah...those. Noticed them on the shelves for a while now and would have bought them to try if it's not for the price they're selling. Nowadays a bit difficult to get 'approval' for the extra expenditure....

just a wild guess....judging from the way those taping and masking....correct ka?

You can read it over at my blog:)

so far, the result is ok. Going to test the 2nd batch and see the differents

nextime come look for me.......i always have 3M great deal. Definitely cheaper than retailer.

Thanks Master.. But am having free time today thus planning to go Ace for DPD.. Want to detail but weather macam mau hujan..

I guess this product still new right?

First time search for UC in aeon didnt see 3M product..

After several weeks (or months couldnt rmmber) go there the promoter suggested me to buy 3M but during that time was looking for megs hot rims.. So pandang 3M one eye only.. Hehe

Do you still wash your car regularly after the paint defender?

Based on the pricing and 3M's reco, it seems to be very expensive to apply the whole car.
