Woah, never skim on cheap paint, you would be surprised how easily they fail after 1 year or so.

Every resprayed car will have orange peel, heck, even factory painted cars will have it.
Manual hand respray usually has obvious orange peel, so what they do is to level it first before delivering. So having orange peel after respraying is normal.

And yes, paint will take a while to settle. There are paints where after respraying and levelled immediately, but once it is fully cured, orange peel came back a little.  Uncured paint tend to be soft, and once the solvent evaporates fully (cure), the paint hardens and somewhat "reshapes"

Paint has many characteristics, weird ones. In peninsular, most repainted paints are leaning toward hard paint, while in east Malaysia, we noticed that repainted paints recently are on the soft side. We are guessing that in east, certain brand is leading in market share la.

However, don't expect a painter to polish the hood nice nice like a detailer. The only one i've seen polishing with spot light is in PJ. Those are the only guys that goes hardcore and finishes with a dual action polisher.

I have my bonnet repainted 6 months ago, told them not to level it, orange peel is horrible. Saving it for my next video!

i rinse with tap water after rain and leave it overnite. found this white spot at morning. never have such obvious white spot when using synthetic sealant last time.

this happend only after i applied ceramic coating. b4 that only with light water stain which i can leave it till next wash.
maybe water in my area changed? or my water filter problem? or ceramic coating problem?

I think it's a quite a great product for beginners like me to use, ease of application and pretty good results! 

Wanna ask..what sealant last long...like really perform to its claim..

I applied multiple layers of optiseal by using proper pre application procedure like claying and IPO wipes when i got my new car. But when I use over the counter car wash (those 2 liter for rm 20) the sealant seems like being strip off, easily.

I wash my car regulary like 2 times a week, so i cant really afford to spend on expensive car wash soaps.

Which sealant you use?

Kinda 'watery' though.

How did you manage to apply it? Using applicator pad?

Sometimes I tilt the bottle a bit already the liquid starts pouring out when I wanna drop it on the pad/towel.

Haha.

Only got grasshopper on the hood

Bro damn kilat la your car. Really looks like mirror reflection! Haha. Not an orange peel in sight. 

Yea, my bottle still feels quite full. Thanks for the tip - might get a cheap spray bottle from Mr DIY and pour some of the MirrorPlan into it.

Really useful detailing hacks man!  :thumbsup:

Hmm, frankly speaking I have applied it sparingly before but the results seems so-so. Maybe cos I tend to layer it or override the coat with either a fresh product [like HCW/Soft 99 Mirror Shine etc] each time I wash it. So I didn't get to test it's effectiveness.

Should have a clearer feedback by tonight since it's raining cats & dogs here...

Stay tuned bro!

Saw this spray sealant in Parkson. How does it fare?

I see. Hard to gauge the real effect for sure then. Ok! 
I have a solid white car. I've been using this https://www.soft99.co.jp/en/products/detail/00287
It's like the prerequisite of their Kiwami. Soft creamy texture with cleaning effects. It beads well. It's been a month and the beads are very tight still.

But I think sheeting is also part of beading isn't it? If a car beads well, it sheets well also.

Some interesting reads - basically similar to what teikchuan had shared before - wax & sealants are one and the same:

Wise words indeed!

Never washed for 1 year? 

Wow. Haha. If there's such an impressive result, must be quite amazing.

I wonder how he managed to keep the car away from bird droppings/tree sap etc. Haha.

Dayum. Owner must be very fortunate with his paint protection. Haha.

If it was me, I'll OCD about having stains on my paintwork, especially windscreens... Cannot tahan any sort of dirt at all...

Guys, what is the super shampoo can wash away those stubborn stain on coated surface? I remember when I'm young I saw Polyglaze 2-in-1 Deep Paint Cleaner Wash that has purple and blue content. Can't find this anymore.

So far works fine for me.

I will update again after the next heavy downpour. So far the coat is holding up fine.

Yes  , it can really clean your car.
High quality shampoo

using carpro reset after coated my car. so far so good.
been using carpro perl and now meg endurance, both need to reapply after heavy downpour. endurance will have serious streak. either reapply or use applicator to level it out. if soft99 can hold up, definitely my go to.
sharing is caring bro..😙😄
how come, not difficult to find power plug.
wash your car at minimum once a week, apply good durability sealant every 2months.
