Most windscreen coating, even rain x can reduce the misting when cold to a certain extent. Question is how long it lasts only.

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..... tongue.gif

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.

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

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).

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

You can start with Meguiars Ultimate Polish first. Should be good to remove minor swirls.
