If you got from Meguiars flagship store, it is a genuine.

For other shops, I m mute and reserve to comment further.

Got it elsewhere

I don't see why it is not. From the packaging, looks like you bought from mamba, if yes, their products is genuine. I bought couple of times from them, tested and genuine. Last time they free me a spray empty bottle, the spray is high quality one.

Got it from below seller, not sure if his nicknamed is mamba😂

You use hand applicator or polishing rotor? I bought Meg UC 1 year ago but still unused, going to compound polish the car this week then reapply the ceramic coating. Been 1 year didn't care the car so much, scratches (cats loves climbing my car sleep) and water mark everywhere.

DA

QUOTE(newhouseowner @ Mar 9 2021, 09:02 PM)
I don't recommend you drive out before apply any LSP to avoid contaminated. As you know, compound take a lot of effort and time. You probably don't want to redo again. You wanted the paint as virgin as possible. Keep up the good work.

I had to cos the other was waiting to cure. Anyway gonna ipa it, polish and seal it TW Ceramic spray this weekend hopefully

Fuyoh. Spray detailer. Which outlet is this? I haven't visited Ace since October.

Separately when applying leather cream, do we need to wait certain hours to properly dry or absorb into the leather? 🤔
How many layers should be applied? 🤔
Is cream or spray type better? Have been using cream for the longest time but I see lots of spray type popping up.. 🤔

Below is how one layer turned out after overnight.. Its smooth but not too slick or oily though

i'm using this for my leather upholsteries. hassle free application, just spread them evenly on a felt-like cloth and then rub them on the surface. no need to wait for them to absorb or dry. doesn't give off any shine and is not oily. ideal for those who prefers matte finishes.

i used it on my steering wheel leather too.

Cream type too huh? Will give this a try on next purchase. Applied using microfiber damp cloth on another 10 yrs old old jap with nappa leather and it look a bit glossy but not messy

yeap, cream type.

did you smudge the cream onto the cloth first to make an even spread before applying it to the leather upholstery?

Yes as always

Trade in via Carsome. Initially thought wanted to use Perodua's own POV but I'm getting my car from authorised dealer instead of PSSB so they intro me to Carsome agent instead.

Quite seamless and smooth process.

Paint wise I think ok only la, still got paint chips etc but it's regularly washed and waxed so probably at least worth a bit extra when it comes to getting a better price. biggrin.gif

Haha the new car... Ativa in the same colour as the Myvi.

yes, it's a new product, but based on the performance of their trim coat, i will put my money on it, besides it is very affordable comparing to other Graphene infused product out there.

placed my order from shopee, will definitely try it out.

Price wise is affordable definitely....

Opinion... Do u guys think this almost 6 mths combo cheap ceramic coating/Osren Luminous coat is still holding up for a car parked 5/7 outdoor? The sides eg doors are still beading and sheed well..... 🤔

Am thinking to also do compounding for the 1st time on this 4 yrs old car.

Note: Car haven't been washed since start of emco...
