Just completed coating and full body PPF at 7autospa for my new Alza. For the door handles PPF there is a line in the middle as the PIC told me that for a new car they don't recommend to remove the handles and install the PPF in order to avoid the line. What do you guys think?

Anyone knows of any "budget" and affordable/quality PPF installer shops around Cheras Kajang area? Every other PPF brands /shops I've asked around is more than RM2k++.

Just need to install in the most important/necessary areas only, don't need full PPF package. Preferably below RM1.3k if possible. TIA!

Can’t sleep so washed the car and topped up spray coating

Have a great weekend guys!

Should I use Magic101 Glo White to wash my car (tarik the dark stain), then use spray ceramic wax..

OR

Just normal car shampoo then use Cleaner Wax like Soft99 Pearl and Metallic to tarik the dark water dirt? Then topup with Ceramic Wax monthly wash?

For White car*, Honda City GN2

For my pearl white car, i would use soft99 clay bar and then osren polish. But u can use also the soft99 metallic polish.
If u have some water spots, u can use some water spots remover first but clay + polish should remove them too

Im afraid to use clay bar as i had used one those cheap fake 3m clay bar on shopee before, it scratched my old myvi paint, need to polish to remove those marks

Any recommendation on drying towel?
I usually do rinseless wash..

Wow... not sure available in Malaysia or not. Spray on wet body.

Has anyone tried the Silazane50 (ceramic coating spray) from Japan. It cost around rm300 plus and claim to last 5years.

It's kinda big in Japan, can get easily at Superautobacs in Japan. Some Japanese Youtubers did review it.

Putting this to action again on a new car.
And renewing existing HRV glass hydrophobic Acton.

Nowadays there are clay towel products in the market. Pricing wise fluctuate a lot, reputable seller should be around RM4x and above.

Please use some form of lubrication when claying, best is use clay lube. In a pinch, use car wash shampoo solution.

If all sounds too much of a hassle, go find a proper detailing shop do a polish package maybe. Don't bother with those normal/roadside car wash place.

It's one of the best for windows, one application can easily last a year. Affordable too.

Not suitable for windscreen with wipers from my experience, usually use Soft99 ultra glaco for that.

I'm using on windscreens too, and lasts permanently because I also use RainX washer fluid additive.

It helps lube up silicone wipers too

I actually wanted to try their windscreen washer fluid too. Did it work well in getting rid of road films or bugs?

I would say yes and no

No because it's generally a diluted rain X that doesn't haze up

Yes because it's mainly alcohol/solvent/oil based that it'll either allow easier wiper to rub off any road film and bugs, and that's provided they are even able to cling on a RainX treated windscreen, especially most of the time I don't even need to use wipers to begin with lol

hi i have a stupid question.

when u buy new car, why dealer always put their name on the number plate holder?

is it ok if i spray them off?

will it be a problem if i come back for maintenance service there?

Free advertisement. Only JPJ saman if your number plate not up to spec, you want to stick with double sided tape also SC can't say anything.

ah okay.

this thing is annoying.

merc and bmw also put this thing. only Tesla dont.

i know its just a small matter but still annoying.
