I have attained about 6.2 both ways cause I push bit half way through - reset my avg fuel consumption a day before from 7.4 down to 6.2 and managed about 600km full tank (sped about 20mins in Ipoh cause of an emergency).

I think yes about the same with the RPM.

However, after speeding about 20mins with sports mode on, and when i off the car the radiator was still running to cool down the engine for at least 10mins.

coating/auto-detailing.


TSC/VSC light got appear?

yup...mine car kena few places d~~ DAMN! luckily i did coating.. can atleast protect abit

Nice. Mine went up to 9L/100km on city driving for the past week.

High compression engine = high heat.

Sort of like turbo.

i was looking at the road, didn't pay attention on dashboard

I have did the coating once get the car, but still get lots stone chips

that looks pretty big. Go back to your auto-detailing shop and see if they can do anything about it. If you're lucky, it's the coating that got peeled off and the white thing is just a stain. Else you will need to repaint it.

just want to ask how much does it cost to do coating for mazda 2 and also price for wrapping the car. still contemplating on which to do

around 2k plus. but i got the price below 2k cause i get to know people...

Averagely glass coating memang RM2k while "plastic coating" RM1k. Both are similar but have different lifetime. There's a shop at Kuchai Lama 88 auto spa which do coating for about RM500+. I didn't do there cuz I did my tinting in Shah Alam and 1 shot do coating there cuz lazy to wait and go all the way to Kuchai Lama.

wats d diffrence actually? i saw got glass,plastic,rubber..which 1 is better n last longer?if its expensive i expect it to last for yrs not months lol im vry stingy

Never heard of rubber coating.

Glass typically last 3 years while plastic last 2 years or less depending on stone chipping and maintenance.

Go visit 88 Auto Spa. You can search for their facebook page.

From what I understand from asking people who has done coating, it does not really protect against stone chips as much as you expect it to, unless you're talking about paint protection film (ppf), but that sh*t is very very the expensive apparently. Coating and ppf are 2 different products. That's what I've gathered so far.

I've not done any coating, I'm relying on waxing to protect my paint which does the same job as coating. Just have to pray that you don't get stone chips. Driving as "slow" as 80km/h is not slow for a stone chip, try hurling a stone at 80km/h at someone and see if they get hurt or not.

you cannot escape from stone chips. just avoid highways as much as possible - the lorries and trucks are the culprits. NKVE is notorious for it.

plastic is matte look is it?

It doesn't give 100% protection. Even ppf has it's limits. But it will save your car from small stone chipping. Waxing does not protect your paint against scratches, bird droppings and other chemicals.

No la. Matte look is either paint or sticker. No coating can give you matte look 1.

It's just sort of a name given to compare the durability.

i dunno also lol my fren told me its coating also.hahahaha..

got a quotation for coating..

glass body coat - rm2k
hyperview mirror coat (all) - 400
rim coat - 200
headlight coat - 200
resin coat - 200
nano titanium - 500

if u take all 1 go, they give rm3k..so expensive

I thought wax does the same job as coating just that wax needs to be reapplied every 2 - 3 months.

Heard that bird droppings will "eat" into coatings, unless you wash it off straight away. You will then have to apply the coat over that area again, which is not cheap.

With this limited understanding in mind, I've decided to wax instead of coat

2k for coating or wrapping?
