Go drive a simple pick up 4x4, try doing a side parking and then come tell us if visibility is awesome or not.

Lets not go off topic, cyberheross wanted a city, not a truck.

Hey mate, my sound proofing on my city roof. Excellent noise damp under the rain, and quite cabin while driving (Don't mention the road lar.. haha~!)

Total 3 layer of sound proofing
- Bitumen strip layers on critical area
- Full bitumen over the layers
- a Layer of 3M™ Thinsulate  26mm thick (Actually 10mm is sufficient)

By the way, i took my V spec tires and hook up into my sister's myvi and the tires are very quiet compare to my myvi stock tires. Right now i am using nasty AA tires that are way damn noisy. *faint* rclxub.gif

Mind to share more of your sound proof journey on city? What's the cost involved?

Think everyone has this bumper dropping issue, creating a gap between bumper n body. Looks worse than my 10 year old car. Ignoring it since bumper not flying off. Many went to SC and seems there's no solution from them. Bad design bumper clip design, i guess.

Wrong car to pick grandma. Lower your tyre pressure a little should help.

With coating, u also need to take care. Give to road side car wash, u still get swirl marks all over if they r using cheapo clothes. IF the coating is hard enough, ie 9H, swirl marks will be less. The only good thing is that, swirl mark is now on the coating and not on your clear coat layer. (if your coating layer is thick enough)

Surely with coating, it will be easier to wash off dirt and dust.
When doing a car wash, your greatest enemy is sand. Do take note. SAND. Sand is silica, it's very very hard. If sand is not rinse off the body before wiping with clothes, u get fine scratches all over.
