*Assuming* the price range (product only) is around RM400. You can opt for IGL Coating, 22ple or Osren's (of which I haven't tried yet). If DIY, I would suggest 22ple VX1 or VX3 simply because it's more user friendly and easier learning curve to apply and wipe off. Not sure if they're still available to purchase locally though.... Believe you me, if you think M188 is good, then you'll be blown away with 22ple.....hahahaha....

Sifu...any of these coatings can top with wax/UQW?

Thanks

Effectiveness depend on the owner's maintenance after the application. Whether is good coating or not also depend how you look at it..either from product point of view (you need research), price point, or 'listen' to ppl for some ppl

very fine sandpaper e.g 1500 and above grit sandpaper


Yes, its written on the box. Go explore

regular maintenance still require as normal

The rubber trim will not be damaged right? What about the color? Will it fade?

Thanks...was told wax don't stick to some coatings...

My experience with 22ple & IGL...it's pointless to top up (which you don't really need to) with anything other then their own 'propriety' topper...one wash then it's gone. Unless you're going for the 'deep wax' look.....

Anyone have any experience on osren's glass coating?
Price seems to be affordable.

I concur with this as I read a few pros advise not to top up with wax or other lsd.

Bro, can share your findings on 22ple? Where did you buy it? Also, the last time you tried m188, was it the Asian version which is m18802?

Trying out the my new 21mm dual action (DA) copy of Rupes over the weekend. I would say this is the bang for buck for buffer on the market. It only cost a third of the price of the original Rupes bigfoot 21 which is good for weekend use.

The copy has been in the market for some time but is re-packaged under several in house detailing brand in USA, Europe and Australia. In comparison to my Bosch GEX 125AE, its vastly different as the 125AE is only 1/10 of the orbit size and uses 1/4 of electricity power of this copy. The 125AE still great to use for smaller spot and for beginner as it is lightweight. Pad was primed with M105 and work begin on the Waja bonnet with neglected paint. I put too much product this round to prime the new pad and quite a number of dust flying to the back windscreen. Shall use less product next time.

Vibration is not as much as other 2nd generation 8mm DA (using more powerful motor) that I pinjam to get a feel. This machine need to be in above speed 2 (out of 6) for less vibration.

depend on pressure and how badly you current damage is

22ple is top on my list (for the time being) for both DIY-er's and pros' alike (though I haven't tried any other new coatings for the past few years). Mainly due to it's user friendlyness. Took a while to get used to (application and wiping off wise) when I was trying out OptiCoat, CQuartz, Ceramic Pro (Choose Nanotech), Gzox and a few other coatings. Even then, they get so finicky in our climate/weather that I get frustrated some times. But with 22ple, it's easy to learn and application is such an ease...anybody who are used to waxes/sealants application would be able to adapt. Understandable, since 22ple is developed (but not manufactured though) by our own countryman....

Not sure they're still available locally though....maybe somebody else *cough* could chime in on this.

M188 is *asian made*...not produced/manufactured by Meguairs US (something like Menzerna Power Lock which isn't produced/manufactured by Menzerna Germany but by Menzerna US). If I'm not mistaken, it's even for asia circulation only.


Yeah, the 'copies' been around for a while. This is the first time I found a local 'end user'/fellow enthusiast post about these machine. Maybe one day we can meet up and do some comparison with my LHR15 (or an LHR21 which I can borrow from a friend). Curious on it's performance as compared to the Rupes. Also good for sharing with the guys (and gals) here....

Just bought some new MF from tesco. The wash mitt (dreadlocks style one side MF another side) may I know how do I wash my car without scratching it. Because I have my first inspection of my car for the first time. Really up close and I was shock that I found some micro scale of scratch marks around my car. But at a distance I was impress by the gloss hahaha. Now i become more picky on what material to wash my cars. I don't have any stain marks but I do have some micro scratches here and there 😢😢😢. I quite loyal to PG products. Btw what is QD QD ? Stands for PG quick detailer ?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Lots of car wash videos on YouTube...one bucket, two buckets, etc. Pick one you like. QD used to refer to meguiars quick detailer but I think now is common...

Collected my white ride two days ago...after 1 day feel like washing already but refrained to test how much I can tahan...didn't have to wait long

Dealer had it detailed. ..cheap AIO or glaze...one wash today it's gone. Still a bit hazy a final finish should fix it up...comes with factory installed peels, very minor swirls, some water mark etching, etc. I think I won't correct them for now.

Decided to stick to wax for the time being. Perhaps even a sealant/wax. I'm thinking coating may be more suitable for folks who just wanna wash...I like to touch my car more often...try different things...so waxing it is.

Anyone knows how to clean and protect this B pillar?

And also reduce the finger print magnet

I don't know what material is it...looks like rubber but not rubber, looks like paint but not paint.



Sample picture (not my car):


Best is products that can be found in Malaysia

Thanks

Hi bro, its a vinyl wrap if I'm not mistaken.
Some would use plastic to cover it, but on most cars these are just sticker vinyls.

You can coat it with your turtle wax ice paste wax. I did that too, no problem. The formula can be applied to all exterior surfaces, including paint, chrome, plastic and trim without leaving white residual.

ohh..actually I bought Toihokohzai IonCoat carnauba Wax. Not the famous Naviwax, but the model previous to Naviwax. Bought it at Autobacs.

Later I get the Turtle paste wax and I think its good all rounder that not only protects the paint, but others material surfaces as well.
