imho this stuff looks like just a glaze to hide the damage...sealants, waxes and coatings will do the same...

ya...had to throw away my M82/83/84, SRP, etc...even my unused pads have disintegrated...this one still works like day one...

getting a white car soon...just thinking coating will help with the wash every 2 days and wash after rain routine

be very careful with wet sanding especially you do not know how serious damage is your current paintwork + the sanding work you are carrying out. Even paintshop do not perform so many round of sanding unless its fresh thick paint...

If you wanna achieve this effect, apply a layer of lotion, oil you will get the result.

The video doesn't show the sheeting or water beading after applied nor washing...and to me the gloss is just not there

good lunch with black or white car...most difficult colour to take care, metalic generally better....frequency of washing is one thing, where is the surface expose to is crutial..e.g park under sunlight or moonlight or open air to moisture or rain....then you need extra protection on top of coating...

Repaint lo if it is that bad.
Save you a ton of time and money.

roof, both bonnet is the 'most easiest' damage surface as there expose the most to sunlight and moisture especially if they being repainted with low quality paint.

From the image you posted, i would consider there are already beyond repair as your clear coat already totally gone...one way to find out is swipe with your hand and if there is 'flakes' coming out mean its fully gone...

only way is to TOTALLY remove them then repaint with a GOOD coat of paintwork...if just simply 'add-on' another layer...same thing will happen again in time....especially front bonnet where engine heat kill them alot after...

stick a carbon fibre wrap...kao tim lor...

u get bubble and even surface...

Guys recently in Facebook keep see soft 99 fusso wax or f7 keep promote is it good ? And really the wax can up to one year ( which mean just wipe on time) or the usage can use up to one year ??

i guess it depends on surface preparation, how much car shampoo is used for every wash and how the car is kept everyday.

I would bet that those 'promoters' haven't really tested their waxes in our country/region/climate. But, saying that, most waxes would/could last for one year...if the car is parked in a showroom and never driven out...

Gg hahah if like this haha

+1

A lot of promoters are locals...but just blindly promote what's written on the tin.

In some parts of the US car wash once a month or longer also can...here?...Hahaha...

I can see the Soft99 brought from Brothers. I have Meg's ColorX brought more than 10 years ago and it turn to be watery. Have to throw it away. Color X used to be one of the top product then.

Coming back...I've not used these 1 year version of fusso wax. Fusso is 20+ years old and went through a few updates. It was a good wax/coat...and the newer versions looks to continue. I've been away so I'm not really certain if RM100'ish is a good price.

It doesn't matter if it lasts a year or not. The wax/coating gets dirty overtime with embedded dirt and needs a deep cleaning or polishing...it is especially visible on white. For black and dark cars swirls become apparent and needs a new coat to hide even if there's wax left. So the wax may stay on beading or sheeting for a year is not really important.

For me I like to see different looks and rotate my waxes and layers frequently. So as long as it last a month or two that's fine.

So if you've not had a paste wax in your box...there's no harm trying.

3 weeks ago...meta-clean polish
2 weeks ago...water-block polish, this has fusso stuff
1 week ago...QD
Every week wash twice
Today...QD & rain-hop wax

MF from today's QD...one quadrant not used for comparison...daily drive park indoors...

Why 1 year wax not really important in reality

Applicator before washing...after whacking it a few times to release semi-dried wax...see how little wax there is left...

A few squirts of 409...clean like new after one wash...

Happy detailing weekend everyone.

Sorry guys for interrupting. Today I just bought my car some product. I had the normal car shampoo and a P&G wonder clay (medium) version. Now my problem is I don't know what kind of material I need to wash my car. The microfiber at the auto section is quite expensive. Do normal microfiber work for washing the car. Do tesco had any of this material that is cheaper compare to those that are meant for auto use.
