QUOTE(KrisMas @ Sep 21 2015, 10:12 AM) Sorry for the late reply bro...been away. Errmm...define 'affordable'...heheh... I had a very nasty experience once with a 'cheapo' protective film that I bought in Brothers for RM80 (pair) for my Waja headlights. After a little bit more than a year it started to turn a little (obvious) yellowish and some minor peeling, so I decided to remove them. Took me more than an hour just to totally remove the adhesive residue and leftover film. Fortunately the headlights are glass. I dread to think what it would do to those that are made of plastics. When I got my new car (with plastic headlights) I decided not to take the risk and save-up and went for the 3M Ventureshield. Bought from a forumer here (but located in Melaka) and installed it myself (not too difficult, to be honest) for a little more than twice the price (that was more than 3 years ago). 3 years on, with some marks from sand/stone and slight tint of yellow, still looks fine. Haven't taken them off though, so can't comment on that. But I've had good experiences with a few types of 3M stickers (both installed internally and on the exterior, paints or plastics) that I'm quite sure that it won't be as difficult as the 'cheapo' alternatives. I heard there's a couple more brands of protective films around but, since I couldn't get any (for DIY), coundn't comment on those. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Try the one from Osren if the defects are severe, they contain cerium oxide (polishing compound for polishing glass). If I'm not mistaken they do have a set together with everything you'd need to do up the windscreen. They're acid...very strong acid. It can remove stubborn deposits but won't be able to remove etchings. I'd stay away from them unless absolutely necessary. Take all the necessary care/precautions or do a test spot before proceeding with the whole windscreen. A couple of detailing kakis had had horror stories to tell when using it on the front windscreen where the wiper trails are. Seems like it could 'seep' into the fine scratches and causes quite some headache to remove. My define of cheap means around not more then 150 margin. I got quotation for ORAGUARD 270-G cost me about 220 for a pair of head lamps. I still plan to do headlamps foglights and also side mirrors.

Guys, I just got my new car a month back. Haven't touch much on detailing after my previous car got stolen. Anyway, currently I'm using Meguair's Water Magnet to dry up my car. It doesn't seems to be working well after all. Any of you have any suggestion over batter cloth?
