Worth getting this package? RM108

[PACKAGE DEAL] Soft 99 GLACO Ultra Car Mirror Windshield Glass
Coating Agent 70ml + SOFT 99 Glaco Mirror Coat Zero ( Mirror Coat )
40ML + Glass Stain Cleaner 80ML

hmm.. speaking from my experience, Glaco doesn't last long. I helped my friend to do everything. It lasted around 5 months on windscreen wiper area. and other windows are fading now.. still got beading effect, but not as nice as after apply.

The Glass Stain Cleaner, not sure whether it can remove those tough and stubborn watermarks or not. Need to ask members who used it before.
I've gotten the soft99 glass compound Z which works the same as per told by the sales there, RM 40 1 bottle from Autobacs, it cleans the oil film, but not the watermarks. So far, I used the AntiRain watermark remover (can be search in Automotive sales thread), and Osren watermarks remover, I felt both works alot better.

Glass Coating, I'm using coating agent from AntiRain, 1 year and 4 months now. There coating still as good as first apply. No watermarks were formed. But, I have my ride a weekly or bi-weekly car wash. So, it might be my periodic car wash that reduce the chance to let watermarks form on the glass. 

Ultra Glaco, the black bottle. Sure it last longer than RainX, but to me, still not great enough. The price and it is usable for 3-4 car is very good for its pricing.

I have my parents car (2 cars here, both for business usage) coated with Ultra Glaco. Front windscreen (note: it's the wiper area) is starting to faded after 5th month, but not totally gone, coating is still there. Side windows are performing better. But I am thinking to remove it and re-coat for better repellent effect, will still use the Glaco. Considering the price of Glaco, it's like RM 12 per coat for the whole car, super cost effective. Best is, it doesn't judder as much as RainX. 

AntiRain windows coating, cant really remember the price becoz the first time I bought together with watermarks remover. It's about RM 45 for the coating agent if not mistaken. Price is around the same with Ultra Glaco, but per bottle (10ML) it's only for 2 windscreen size. Lasted me more than a year and repellency is still top notch.

Buy 2 packs ma whole car lo.. 

i coat all, include side mirrors as well. 

I have different experience with Osren glass coat as I applied on multiple cars with different driver profile.
- On my car, use wiper only necessary, it can last roughly 1 year and more.
- On my friend's car, definitely will use wiper when raining, the coating effect can last about 5 month.

But the thing is the effect is quite strong during the first month. After that, water repelling effect starts to diminish as time goes. I believe it's almost the same to the others coating.
Currently, I have osren glass coat on front windscreen (still working, about 7 months from application), glaco on backscreen (still on effect. About 9 month now since the application) and antirain coat on 4 side windows (this one last for more than 1 year on side window).

doesn't matter, just don't soak too long and make sure air dry.

chep microfiber towel, wash sampai edges de-threading
cheaper detergent, cause i dont pay for it. sis used to work in uniliver, dirt cheap staff price
tyre shine
too strong in fragance. yes, on interior can be used on plastic and vinyl.
but for light cleaning i always use onr.
osren fabric cleaner suds a lot

Optimum no rinse. Very versatile product. As qd, as rinseless wash for droppings or clay lube.

Plastic part most important is applying protectant.
In a sense you want some oil, but not body oil la.
Dry plastic degrade faster under sun
Best way is to actually use a detailing brush and vacuum. Dust while vacuuming.
The steering, gear nobody and arm rest usually I just wipe down with onr and reapply the dressing while the rest I don't wipe ever so often

The thing about washing microfiber is that more often than not, I submerge it in dynamo solution and wash it days later. If not, a week plus later.

Always comes out clean.

Month 2 update of sealants durability

Fusso seems pretty good. What's its downside actually?

Get a rotary. 6/5/3/2/1 inch backing plate also got. I just did 70% of full detailing on a car today. Da would have took me longer to be honest. Planning to coat it by monday

Rotary isnt as scary as ppl make it out to be. For those with totally no experience with machine polishing then should start with DA, but once u get the hang of DA, then learning DA is easier.

Main thing to remember about rotary polishing is surface heat. If u touch the panel and it almost burn your finger then it is too hot and time to stop and move to next section.

Yes, the velcro part is the first.
Then it would be the contact part of the pad with the paint.
Maybe it's product nature but it tends to widen the pores and cracks it up. See if i can get a picture of it soon or not. Now so hot lazy polish la

But it is good to know that burning through clear coat is quite difficult even with rotary...

Ah if edges of velcro starts first then usually its due to pad sponge bigger than backing plate, so when u lean the pad sideways or put too much pressure on the pad when polishing it starts to grind the velcro edges.

For the contact part of the pad to the paint, I am guessing its probably more of a wear and tear. No pads last forever, even the expensive ones will degrade over time.

Hahaha, yes, I also lazy to start my next detailing project for now cuz of the hot weather. Nowadays even prefer to wash car at night cuz its cooler.
Agreed. There is a big variety of clearcoat types in the market, quite hard to gauge, so its always a trial and error with each different car.
May I ask if your polishing is done by hand or machine? And also whether do u compound each time before polish? Do u recall how many times u have compounded and polished your car?

There are specialty bug and tar removers that u can try to remove tree saps issue fairly easily. You can try that first.

I would prefer to suggest that regardless of whatever protection u apply for your car, more importantly please try to avoid parking under trees. I understand our tropical climate is hot so shade is always nice, but because tree sap and bird poop tends to drop from trees, they tend to bake into the paint with the heat.

If you want to speed up waxing time, u can actually get a DA polisher, then use a butter knife to scrape your paste wax and lay on your DA pad and apply wax that way. It definitely speeds up the waxing process.

Let me know if you are getting. HEHE! Might just jump in with you to get one!

Durable means a coating which can last 1-2 months at least. I have tried Meguairs ultimate liquid wax and quik wax both last 1-2 weeks only with almost no water beading and slickness. I am ok with any recommended durable self-service coat/sealant/wax as long as it lasts 1-2 months.
