Total about 120 including shipping

All wheel cleaner about 55
Osren was about 45? However out of stock on Lazada.

Performance unknown until I finally get off my lazy ass to wash my car lol
If it's anything to go by it's marketing claimed to be using clingy gel (like DodoJuice), then very worth it.
Sonax is totally watery and with the pricing today, totally not worth it.
Was planning to try Osren, but Meguiar also joined in.

Not this one bro https://shopee.com.my/product/153078190/670...99-1617337729.9

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.XPZD7 RM44
That's why I say price not far from Osren

RM44 546ML vs RM55 709ML
0.80 Cents per ML VS 0.77 cents per ML
Meguiar is cheaper

3M clear coating kit on Lazada around RM50

and if you got the headlamp polisher/detailing polisher/compound or more mainstream ones like meg plastx it'll be a bit quicker (i used sonax perfect finish)

for protection, megs headlamp protectant is quite good. its basically a beefed up sunscreen (smells like one too lol)
it has petroleum distillates, so don't let get on your paint/LSP

black plastic trims, sonax plastic restorer is pretty effective.

i think still got clearance left over from previous distributor, maybe rm20-30+? normal price is 80+ from lazada/shopee

aiseh i someone forgotten about this as now i remembered you mentioned it few pages ago
slipped my mind since lazada shopee official stores don't offer them
well i gotten my gold class for rm70 ish... for 7 years ish usage, ok la...
1.89L also need 7 years, if double that a gallon and more dilution, over 14 years?

ooo 14 looks like very good news! that's great to hear

Yes sir, one year maybe 5 times or less self wash

Rain do the job for me or I go to shops that aren't using harsh detergent and minimal contact on my car surface. Since they do less, they willing to charge less also.

Around RM10 or less for a good drive through pressure washer spray + foam spray then rinse

Use your normal LSP !

Even my normal paste waxes also no problem
My wife HRV front grill is same glossy type

Check and confirm if it is tree sap

If yes, you need chemicals to soften it, or you have to compound/polish it off
(That's why informed detailers /enthusiasts will avoid parking before trees even if it is cooler under shade)

If it is tree sap and already hardened, nope.

Familiar with tree amber? Jurassic park?
Or think of hardened super glue.

assuming only gloss no textured finish plastic, you can try your conventional car paint polishes, or even plastic specific products like Meguiar's PlastX

do very light polishes one small panel at a time, if possible do spot tests if it'll improve the gloss/fix the scratches without cutting off too much of your plastic surface
bear in mind plastic is a lot softer than paint so unless that gloss black is clear coat/paint finished, you'll very easily cut through it as you polish.

alternatively, consider surface gloss products /interior detailing that may contain fillers to fill up those hairline scratches so you don't even need to polish.

Congratulations on your new ride! If I may add, polish the car after clay before LSP

P1/P2 not known for good finishes lol
P1 recently improved a TON post Geely, but at the paint thickness thinned out like Honda paint (also detailer nightmare lol)

probably not applicable for me since i already using professional grade compound/polishing lol

just clay and IPA wipe all glasses.
any car will sit at depot/warehouse for long periods, more than enough time for dirt to cling/bake into the glass.
one time only, and for the rest of the life of the car, just reapply glass LSP no need to clay or IPA ever again (at least for my rain x)

my meg endurance gel is already on the 4+ months
its no longer glossy, matte ish, and water repellency is very minimal but its there (especially if you run bare fingers over its sticky oily texture LOL)

Despite the faded shine, it still is black/rubber color and brake dusts don't easily stick to the tire surface (or even if it does, a rain is more than enough to wash them away)
That said however, the rims will have horrendous brake dusts and my performance brake pads (600c rated) doesn't do it any favors.
It depends how much you can accept either tire clean rim full of brake dust having 2 tone/2 condition vs both tire and rims uniformly brake dust color

The Sonax wheel coating is well, weak.
Fortunately I gotten them on sale price.

I wonder what coating products on the market can deal with wheels getting 100-200c (brakes itself going >600c)
On serious Sepang track sessions, the plastic center wheel cap (mounting legs) can get melted and whole cap flies off

from here:
https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/product...%5B1393%5D=1393
totally no longer have wheel/rim coating products. however i've used:
https://www.meguiars.com.my/index.php?route...&product_id=299
Product Code: G-15009EU
(looks like EU market only? megs USA tarak, only Malaysia/EU)

anyways my experience after finishing a can:
not very different than "SONAX XTREME WHEEL RIM COATING nano pro" (mouthful lol)
durability of the Meguiar's brake dust barrier lasts around:
1-5 months
or
5-10 washes
or
2-3 burning brake sessions
(whichever firsts)
Sonax durability can be shorter or longer, both products durability quite inconsistent and the biggest killer is when i have burning brakes that destroys them in a hurry lol


i think and assume that it is badly worded "will affect durability/performance of the end results"

tint does not affect at all.


hard wax? as in their ancient basic rm1x to 20 ish supermarkets widely available hard shell paste wax?
that's not too bad actually... but yeah a lot of residue to buff off so apply it very thinly and don't do an entire car only begin to buff off (a bad habit of mine LOL!)
and... i STILL have the same tub that i bought maybe 10+ years ago LOL


low?

https://www.turtlewax.com/products/hybrid-s...ex-wax-23-fl-oz
my expectations

A bit waste to layer anything above cleaner wax

So IMHO, not correct

Woah harder to buff off than turtle!? :star:

Turtle hard shell paste wax was among my first experience to car wax

Then spoiled by Meguiar ultimate liquid wax, and now DodoJuice (among the easiest boutique paste wax)

need... cuz compound will never have fine enough abrasion.
similar to why sand paper have many grits.

not sure if i linked the turtle wax 1 and done vs meg compound? LED lamp shine only, lol swirls/haze.
naked eye, no problem shining bom pi pi sui sui mak mak.

really depends how DETAILED (a detailer) wants.
harriss

if you want another step like i do. UC > UP > IPA > GLAZE > then lastly only wax.
take bright LED and direct shine until can see nothing but a perfect mirror.
(glaze basically cheat code lol)

No la not to say incorrect, just preference.
No right or wrong. Skipping steps also ok so long you achieve the results you want.

I mean, some people say need rigorous maintenance/wash.
Maybe weekly wash, bi weekly, monthly?

I few months wash once is it really wrong? Lol

IPA Is to remove polishing oils/residue

Glaze is to provide very light polishing (finer than most, if not all polishes) and fillers to fill any minor imperfections (you'll need very keen eye + very bright light source), and some, if not most glaze will promote wax adhesion. (Basically can benefit all LSP besides certain sealants/coating)

If you don't need those, then obviously can skip

Looking forward to your detailing results

Wow another interested!

I think need import...
But if too high markup, lazy also lol

Can wait for the non limited edition (very slightly cheaper, only difference in bottle/packaging)
