What holy grail car paint is that?? hmm.gif

Perhaps you seldom used it and leave it parked under a shade (away from direct sunlight)?

So far, I have yet to see any white Proton X70 that has turned yellowish yet hmm.gif

Noopee.. mine was constantly under hot sun, no shade.. just send to bangla car wash every few weeks. My new car now under shade all the time coz livin in condo but still turned yellow. Tryin to claim warranty, hope it works.. note i did spray wax every month too!!
Maybe solid white is better than pearl white..

personally i dont recommend rinseless, as it has a high chance of producing swirl marks, if not done properly. but it is only my opinion

agreed on white paint turning yellow, therefore definitely needs protection.

Disagree on "graphene isnt great". Graphene coating is only in the market for 3years+, how do u so sure it is not great at blocking UV? have you tried one already? if so, please share your experience.

Also, do u know all graphene coatings in the market right now are based off ceramic coating? graphene consists only a very small percentage in the coating, giving additional benefits to the already great ceramic coating, but graphene by itself does not protect u against UV. There are too many misconception on Graphene

I could only do rinseless, living in condo with no wash bay cry.gif

may i know what new car are u driving? majority, if not all, of CKD vehicles' bumpers are sprayed locally, whereas the body is painted in manufacturing countries. different quality of paint. new Yaris is a good example, even new car itself u can see the difference between the 2 panels, especially white

but then I am using the Soft99 Glaco Washer as well, not sure of that helps  tongue.gif

How much usually the soft99 glaco washer? Is glaco on windscreen enough or with washer?

Hi Sifus, how to get rid of the ugly watermarks? I've tried the vinegar/toothpaste thing but failed. What products can be used to remove? Will the Soft 99 cleaner work?

Thanks!!
*
IGL glass+, i used it on my shower glass which was heavily watermarked. It almost removed it all easily. I tried soft99's one, not so effective..

Salam sejahtera..this is my 1st posting, just got my new perodua axia, I would like to do coating but it is almost impossible as I'm staying in a small town somewhere in Pahang, most of the detailing shop are in KL..so need you guys advice on how to take care of my new lava red Axia, how to wash it properly, what 'detailing' product best for newbie like me..try to read as much..739 pages is impossible!😅

Try 2 bucket method, on youtube there's alot of videos.
Things u might wana get:
1. Washmitt - mr diy or shopee/lazada
2. Car shampoo - osren (for soap only) or meguiars to have some wash & wax
3. Microfibre towels to dry the car, if u leave it to dry you might get waterspots
4. Wax. Get spray wax like osren, soft99, meguiars, igl
5. Additional stuff for wheels like brush and wheel cleaner (osren)
6. If you wanna coat the windows, go for soft99 mirror coat zero (for side mirror) and soft99 glaco for front & back windscreen.

Can PM me if you need more details.

Have apied cerakote graphene coating as well. The hydrophobic seems to not last that long. But overall shiny and ease to clean is there.

Can i ask for windscreen and rim do you guys use different soap? What do you suggest?

Adding on, the insides the soft touch materials and plastic anything u guys use to protect it?

For the windscreen and mirror any hydrophobic coating you guys suggest i can do at home.
*
Windscreen nope just wash the same as body.
Wheels - meguiars apc
Rims - osren wheel cleaner

For insides, meguiars ultimate / new car scent protectant for dash
For leather, turtlewax leather cleaner & conditioner

For windscreen, soft99 glaco roll on large
For side mirror, soft99 mirror coat zero

I get them from shopee/lazada, especially during sales.
Brothers got sell i think. Tesco / Aeon got sell turtlewax and armorall.
Soft99 glaco and mirror coat i usually get the combo from kakimotor shopee for rm55 (and they have -rm5 voucher)

Hmm brothers seems like rm 7-8 more expensive for the glaco and mirror coat. I guess for the other items as well.

They didnt have meguirs
So bought mostly all turtle wax stuff.

Maybe i dint do it properly. Will try again.

I use osren ultra drying towel.
For glaco, use it for all windows except side mirror. U might wanna leave it awhile before buffing with water. Do remember to clean ur wiper too.

For mirror coat zero, remember to not touch it after applying it.

What did u use for ur dashboard?
