Hi all forum-er~ my new Honda Accord is coming out next week and i know that i am going to depend on this car for the next 10 year ~ so planning to take a very good care to it

Anyone come across Nano car coating? Which is the services that put a coating on your car exterior, tier, windows(or even interior) for below benefit:
Anti-Scratch
High gloss effect
Water repellent effect
UV protection

etc..Recently had found view brand like J Glaze, Coat your car, Optimum auto detailing..

Some have 1 year warranty or even 3 year warranty, any forum-er have experience this coating? How is it? What brand are you using?would like to know worth to do it or not as it is a long term coating.

Thank in advance for helping a newbie:respect:

I am not sure thise high end coating can withstand scratch or stone chips .it like more towards to protect the paint and endure the glossy looks for a long time.


I would prefer install those protection film espcially on front bumper and hood.

It's a layer to protect your paint...but what protects your layer?? You need to keep going back to the shop for regular maintenance every 6 months or so. Only for hardworking people....not for lazy people (like me).

I also want to know if anyone can recommend good paint protection in KL? Not much information can be gathered here.

What come to my mind that how those coating can do anti-scratches job?

anybody knows how much to do the nano coating? more than thousand?

Save the money la, go do respray every 5 years also cheaper than do nano coating. LoL! You need to repair and respray stone chip and pebble damage area as well. No point applying it unless you are showcar la.

Its two sides of a coin, after coating - its easier to clean and care for the car, wash is reduce to water and wipe only, and you can see droplets of water, which is easier to wipe also reduce watermark....but still it wont last for 5 years, mine last for max 3 years +....and now considering repaint...if you really care for your car by all means go for it...certainly not for the budget conscious...

I did nano coating on my car too. It's easier to wipe and clean as mentioned above, it will be like water droplets if you splash water. Just wipe.

Your car will be looking shine all the time.

The shop said it will lasting for 5 years. I just coat my car for a year and counting.

Im using meguiar's product btw

how about 3M ventureshield?

Maybe u can try high end clear flim protection that can self healing

How do you maintain your car? Just wash with shampoo and clean?

Any wax or ..?

Can you notice spiders or swirls scratches under sun or light?

According to the test done by wetshine, coatings don't do well in the rainy Malaysian weather because they are more prone to waterspotting compared to waxes/sealants. The conclusion is in the comments as the tester did not want to continue with the blog entry for coatings.
Waxes/sealants don't hold well/last long on coated surfaces so owners must wash/more often to get the waterspotting under control. Or just let leave the spots there and let the coating act as a sacrificial layer until it wears off.

Not really understand well. The conclusion is?

Most of the time swirl and mar cause by wrong washing method. Can you maintain to wash yourself or send back to the coating shop? After coating, you need to follow the proper way to maintain it. Warranty may void if you fail to do so. Better clarify this. Another question is you willing to spend 3k++ for polish and coating? If your car get scratched and go for polish, meaning the coat is gone and re-coat is not cheap.

I wash myself most of the time and once a while let coating shop to wash. But still the swirls are noticeable under sun (not many but still can see).

Can these coating include wrapping..can withstand flying stones? It's hitting hard and im not sure these thin layer can defend from it.

Coating retain more waterspots and polishing more often to get rid of the waterspots degrade the expensive coating. So be prepared to live with more waterspots if you want the coating to last. Waxes and other lsp don't last as long (cannot stick) either on coatings so thats another drawback for detailers.

Some lsp's under the same brand might do better as a topper on a coating, which could be a way to get customers to visit the shop more often if the lsp is not sold in retail outlets.

I already did coating to my car. So no need to polish/wax.

Just wash with car shampoo and water weekly.

Car still looking very shine. As for swirl marks, very minimal

How much did you paid for that? are you happy for the product? thinking the coating for car.

How much did you paid for that? are you happy for the product? i have thinking the coating for car.

was considering ceramic pro or cs 2 for my car coating. Which is better among this 2 brand?

I think of course coating for a new car is better. Because It adds another sacrificial layer of cleaR coat. If you love your car. By all means go for it. Repainting is never better than your stock paint. Trust me. Unless accidents happens that we cannot foresee.

Got my car in April, when straight for Ceramic Pro coating. No regrets, so much easier to clean and I only wash it once or twice a month. If it's slightly dirty, just use feather duster to clear any sand particles then wipe with damp cloth, that's it. Wrapping my roof black certainly helps cut down my cleaning time.

5 yrs warranty, no yearly maintenance needed. Can go back for coating if any part of the body went thru repaint due to accident.

How much did you paid for it? what was the price? any recommendation?

Thanks, do you have a workshop to recommend?

Are you using the Silver package? Is the coating protection still useful?

Ya, silver package. So far so good.

Thx.

Roughly how much they quote you?

Around 2200rm, forgotten the exact amount.

Can PM location and package ? Thanks

Coating need to do frequently or just a one time job?

hoho.... a fair claim about black cars but damn.. really a pita to maintain....

black, looks the nicest, but a absolute nightmare to maintain, most shiny, glossy black car owners have their maid wash it 2 times weekly.

and on the road, 95% of the black cars are very poorly maintained, no gloss, no mirror effect at all.
