Thanks for your advice. Perhaps I can try airing the car under hot sun for a day.. And no, I don't use sunshades, also tried blasting de-fog but nothing changed.  doh.gif

Here's a pic of it before and after i clean with waterless.
I checked with my wife's car (no tint), no issue on this..
Not sure why uploading photos always gets rotated..

Hi all~ I got a stone chip on my car last week.

It was quite deep and I could see the bare metal layer already...

Is there any DIY methods available? or perhaps would be great if someone can roughly estimate the cost of repairing.

Cheapest method is touchup paint, can buy at aeon/tesco or shopee/lazada. Make sure u get the correct paint code..

Thanks for the swift reply.. Do I need to do any treatment to prevent it from rusting before I putting the touchup paint on it?
*
Since it just happened, dont think got rust yet..
Normal car wash should be okay..
Unless u wanna go to the extend of claybar + polish?
But i guess u can do that later, after u touch up, to even the touchup area

Do use a toothpick to touch up, as the brush is quite thick, u will oversmudge the paint and it will look ugly.. just dot alittle on the chip will do..

Just bought a car and want to learn how to clean it properly

Do you guys just buy the car cleaning products from tesco/aeon/giant/mrdiy or shops to specialized in car care products?

Are there any brands that I should avoid? Or are all of the generic brands found in supermarket fine? I searched on shopee for the brands recommended by American youtubers but they are all so expensive.

Right now I'm looking for normal car wash soup, car polish, wax, compound, something to treat the interior plastics and car seal, and tyre shine.
*
Depends on your budget.. since you just start, you might wana start small. Aeon/tesco or mr diy is okay but slightly pricier compared to online. I buy most of my stuff online via shopee. Today 5.5 sale, i think i spent alot..

PM me and i'll guide u step by step.

First attempt touch up on tricoat paint (platinum pearl white) not perfect but better than 2 black chipped dots biggrin.gif

2 layers base coat A
1 layer base coat B
No top clear coat

Hi all. Just got my new myvi. Any recommendation products to protect the leather seat and plastic dasboars doors and etc?

And anyone use any interior glass cleaner? Is it safe for tinted?
*
I use turtlewax leather cleaner & conditioner for leather seats. Can be found at tesco/aeon or shopee/lazada.
For dashboard and doors, can use meguiars protectant/new car protectant for that UV protection.
For interior glass cleaner, i tried permaglass windows cleaner+antifog but it didn't work, i think because of the tint. The antifog left an oil film on my windows.

Can try osren window cleaner or just use simple damp cloth and wipe just to remove any dust/smudges.

Sharing my detailing... Applied "Soft99 Fusso Coat 12month" wax last week. Rains quite alot at my place since I waxed it. I rinsed my car with water after I drove it in the rain.Today performed a deep wash. Quite impressed with result of Fusso Coat. Hope it last long...

P/s: No coating.  Get kelentong b4.

Nice.. can use soft99 speed barrier as topper after car wash.
Mine lasts about 3 months now. All water beads drop off when drying.
Did u use glaco roll too for windscreen?
Did u apply anything for the front black plastic trims?

I had the privilege to be given a 99.9% pure lab grade IPA many years ago and I've been using slightly less than 1:10 dilution (between 1:8 to 1:10)

Anything less it flashes way too fast and you'll get streaks/spots
*
1:10 dilution means if my bottle is 1L, about 900ml water, 90ml ipa?

I've used this product before. But it will be problem if your car is parked outdoors. After heavy rain, and hot sun comes out, the dirt can easily etch into the fusso wax layer and it's damn hard to remove. Only way to remove is to completely remove the fusso coat with cleaner wax.

I have no issue with cars parked indoor though.
*
Yup i have this now, i noticed black dirt marks that needs to be rubbed off during weekly wash. But other than that, the wax is still hydrophobic.. abit sayang to remove haha..

Yeah but the car will look super ugly with all the dirt marks, especially evident if your car is white

I guess this wax isnt really suitable for tropical weather where heavy rain can suddenly show up, followed by super hot sun

Did u try mix fusso + luxury?

Can the experts here giving me some advice to newbie here..... I just collected my car 2 days ago. I'm stilling thinking whether do I need to spend 2-3k on ceramic coating..... and my car actually parked in covered carpark but when it comes to heavy rain the raindrops will still splash on my car.  sad.gif  is the coating really can protect my paint keeping it shiny ?
*
Do coating if u got the money. If not, like most of us here opt for DIY wash and wax. Remember, coating doesnt mean u dont need to wash ur car at all.

Tempted to .. but the fusso coat just wouldnt fail on my car just yet lol..
I felt fusso water beading n durability is just as good as coating, and much much cheaper..
