lol.. thread move so slow jor, no MON RON / EO / MOD discussion already?

ok la, recently I saw those detailing deal then feel like butt itchi wanna buy and plan do it b4 CNY, then actually 80% wanted to go for the deal jor, but luckily I do some survey a bit, seems like a detailing shop @ Bdr Puteri Puchong very famous, many ppl had bad experience lol

Altho I always wash and shine my lala myself, but tot of do 1 time better but at cheaper cost, anyone has any recommendation?

pls refer to detailing sifu Quazacolt

no sifu la, learning also.
many more sifu on the pinned thread.

already get his advice ma, so that's why i'm doing it all the while myself, but can't always do full detailing myself, super tired lehh lol

please don't.
those cheap deals, you're better off DIY.

those really good ones, easily few hundreds which most will deem it being overpriced.
however do understand that detailing is considered an art and people do pay very ridiculous price for art.
and if there's people willing to pay, no reason for professional detailers to charge less.

last time i did ask for quotation around RM800 included many treatment like nano coating(i actually not so sure tis & tht coating) after saw Quazacolt's work start impress tht works done by him. but i really took time...

last time i go sierra glow...came in at 8am...came out at 8.30pm liao..

After that, I duwan do it anymore.

newbie need a lot of time while pro can do the same (if not better) with much shorter time.
customers don't like waiting after all.

however even pro also, depend on the work extent, also need few hours at least, and most jobs require 1-2 full days minimum.
ESPECIALLY when it involves coating.

can search on some bad comments on LYN forums...
even my colleagues who did it, all gave bad comments, and very easily kena watermarks.

but supposedly, assuming they work on your car since 8am until 8:30pm, should be good wo...
were you there waiting/observing their work?

how's your sierra glow now?

they did a great works for you since 12hr involved, you should appreciate it when as they spend so much time on yr car right?

I actually try to apply some liquid wax or BSD after a few wash, or after polish (after 1-2 mth), but since my house roof is not fully cover the whole car, so the rain always fall on my bonet area, and even tho the wax n BSD works to spill off the water nicely but after a week or 2 when I wash my car, but since the area always expose to rain n sun so the dirt stain is actually not able to wash away by just using shampoo, I had to use wax paste to rub it away again... really tiring 1 lohh

White color really sikit sikit spot also extremely visible

those ppl lala wuth soul laugh 9 at u all lor.. junk also need to do grooming meh.. tak tau malu

ya correct, these hard work consider as art already and need a lot of patient as well, so it really hard for newbie.

here's an idea on what our local pros (lol) charge:

It's not hard, just that you need to know how to work with the product and proper ways and step to detail a car. In fact it's rewarding to watch ya car paint give out mirror like reflection. * applicable only to black car.

wash , clay, wash, compound or polish, wax and LSP such as bsd. This will take about 5-7 hours using orbital polisher machine. For white,grey,silver well just wash it then wax it no need waste time to detail it lol as you won't get the rewarding look like those black car.

to correct:

- it can be very hard depend on what kinda results you're expecting.
- mirror reflection not only apply to black car, can be any color. the reflection is from the glossy clear coat after all, not so much the base paint. (the color)
it's just easier to see reflected image on darker color (again, not just black) base paints.

here white car:

again, it's ultimately managing one's expectation(send aneh polish don't expect show car shine lo, they don't mar the hell out of your car consider blessing ady), how much time(send elsewhere also need to wait ma)/money(even diy you need to buy the products ma)/effort one is willing to put in.

Send my lala into SC check for the suspension knocking at 8.30am. Collect at 5.45pm.

Problem still exist.

Send to Ah Beng check better, the SC mechanic just write in report "No problem found" LOL

I reported to Proton Motorsport at FB then they divert my message to my nearest SC. The SC automatically call me request me to send in for checking.

Today tried absorber & absorber mounting. Next round will be lower arm.

Lower arm will create such noise?

Its only happen when go through uneven road & some pot hole. LOL~~~

im not sure with your case, my case is that they replace some bushing thing, and spring both edge slot in some plastic thing... it take 1 day too. after that problem not yet come bck...
