QUOTE(RandyC @ Nov 29 2015, 04:43 PM) Most windscreen coating, even rain x can reduce the misting when cold to a certain extent. Question is how long it lasts only. Thanks Randy...gonna try.

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Nov 30 2015, 10:34 AM) To me the shine/gloss is good, but looks depends on personal perspectives but I like it. Still like the looks of traditional wax better tho..... Not sure which detailing centre uses the 22ple, maybe somebody else can chip in on that. I DIY my own cars and bought the product frm SG...a few years back it cost me close to rm350 for a 30ml bottle. Thanks a lot. I like to DIY but worried about preparing the car before coating.

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Dec 4 2015, 04:10 PM) Clay cloth had been around even before Optimum put one under their product line. I've used the one from Osren before and also another one that's call a clay block - which utilise the same rubber polymer but it's bonded to a stiff foam/sponge instead of a cloth. Does it do a good.job compared to normal claying? Thanks

QUOTE(KrisMas @ Dec 8 2015, 08:55 AM) Sorry for the late reply....been away. First and foremost, the clay cloth makes a quick job of claying. It takes about the same time as washing a car as oppose to *maybe* an hour with a traditional clay. Effective....yes. Does it do a good job....yes. I haven't tried too many clay cloth/block (nor did I do a lot of claying) to really make a conclusive comments, but from my limited usage, the clay cloth that I tried was quite aggressive and would leave some hazing/marring that would require at least a mild polishing afterwards (maybe it's just due to my techniques); and the clay block was a bit milder but a little stiff (the foam backing) and I was having some minor problem claying charp curves, small and intricate areas. I do have a few types of traditional clays from aggresive, medium and mild strength, I'm still comfortable in using them as compared to the clay cloth. But, again, it'll take some time if I were to clay one whole car so, in term of speed, the clay cloth/block wins. Osren also have it at about the same price (I think la....hiihi). QUOTE(vx55 @ Dec 8 2015, 12:16 PM) Yup, but got mine from Osren. The newer version is softer and it's possible to clay the car with very minimal marring left behind if any. It is also effective and I recommend it. I haven't use a clay bar for years now, I only use it on very dirty cars where I use the clay bar and discard it because it's just not safe to be utilized anymore. Thanks Krismas. Thanks vx55
