Paint so bad meh? Need paint protection coating....

just dropped by car st service center so they can check and fix that radiator issue.

was told takes about 2 hours, so told them I'm going for breakfast.

10 mins later, got called and told my unit not affected. mine is new batch. seems they are asked to replace a part that's made of copper with the one made of chrome... something like that.

I was looking for paint coating for a while. Those I found, are silica rich coating, supposed to increase surface hardness and smoothness.

The benefits, longer lasting gloss, protection against chipping and hairline scratches, and good water beading.

Downside, is that the surface needs to be treated with car. It needs to be washed and handled properly for it to last long, and more importantly for the warranty to remain.

New problem. Engine oil leakage...

Sharing boot lamp i just fixed for my Bold Std


Attached thumbnail(s)

True....
I did the Glassglow from Sierraglow.... the finishing is very good....
As per their advise, I cannot bring the car for the normal car wash.... can only use the pH neutral Car shampoo....
Have to see how long it lasts.... they have given 5 yr warranty..

how many km is your mileage?

How old / whats the mileage of the car already?

55k km. years 2012.

How about we list down the issues and encountered mileage in first page?

1 year 5 months.it happen exactly at 26692.i used it then today totally flat.

Good idea

Here goes my list, please quote and add new ones to build the list.

0-20k issues:
- Overcrank with 'trrr' sound after engine started - one way valve need replace
- Overcrank during cold start - try different petrol brand
- Fuel smell - DIY to glue shut cover holes at petrol inlet
- Radiator plastic nipple connected to turbo coolant pipe burst - Proton recall, change to copper tip
- Oil hose leak - Pay attention to floor to detect leak from engine arza04
- ABS sensor faulty - car brakes softly even when pressed hard, will hear 'trrr' sound due to ABS activated
- Brake light dim - happen on early batch black PCB.

check your engile oil level. is it reducing rapidly or hardly noticed?

leaking top is quite common problem among Campro engines; and being turbocharged i guess the matter is made slightly worst.
