to me,
protective film felt more 'tangible' than coating, the thickness alone already tell you something.
just scare that if the adhesive used is low quality and failed after a few year under our hot climate, what will it do to the clear coat of the car when wanna remove it.

Yup if you need to stock up ...can buy to keep.
So you used this Cleaner Wax before?
Hows the verdict? Does it last long? the shine I mean.
Before using this wax...what are the steps you took?
You mean the mother's carnauba cleaner wax? I saw that too was tempted to buy cos was way cheaper but I read
ppl in this forum saying carnauba doesn't last long in our Malaysian weather.

depends on your wallet size.

from order of cheapest to most expensive, there is wax, sealant, coating, clear bra.

If u wax frequently not really need polishing too often, normally my routine is wax ultimate liquiq wax every 3 month, then maintain with ultimate spray wax every 2 week , just spray and wipe off only (ultimate line really damn easy apply and wipe, save alot time and elbow power, not to mention ultimate wax really tahan).

For polishing i will do it every maybe 2 year to remove swril mark , u know la how careful u wash ur car there will be swirl mark , about polishing u really need find good shop to do it, else it will screw up ur whole car paint



Now i gonna try out the fusso soft99 12 month coat, it is a paste wax, not as easy as liquiq wax to apply , very hard to buff off, need elbow power , hope this fusso is good so i no need rewax every 3 month

Ultra plush and with these two clothes i can wipe my entire car dry...city....without wringing the clothes.
