Great advice. I think in general getting it washed one every two/three weeks is standard depending on the weather.

From what they said? It’s 5 years warranty against loss of hydrophobic effect, watermarks, and stains. Should a panel be damaged it would also be reapplied to the affected part.

Sounds decent?

after coating ka?

best to wash weekly.

if rain that week, wash it more often.
if lazy,take the car out for a spin to have the water droplets blown off the car. will slightly reduce watermarks visibility.
Never use tap water and flush without drying it. watermarks will be worst.

lol..probably vacuum blower would do. 

ANyways, I have many of my friends and relatives who had done coating, sad to say none of them are happy after 6mths, a year....for the price they could have easily maintained some other ways.

I may be biased, since I DIY, but I feel its just a waste of money.

damn, I think a mistake of applying sealant to my cars. the surface was slick and smooth and could've causes wild cat to use maximum "paw power" to crawl my cars. both cars saw deep scratches few days after i apply sealant (different occasion).

Anyone can suggest where can buy flat fan nozzle hand pump sprayer

a newbie question here. any other method to maintain the car outlook if not coating? polishing 6 months once?

That means i just need to regularly wash my car like once a week and then send the car for waxing frequently yea?

Is coating very expensive?

Any recommended product to clean matte black wheels?

So far i just use water. Doesnt seem to clean well, the black looks a little brownish now. Is regular car shampoo alright?

If possible, I also wanna give it a bit of shine. Some say it's ok to just apply some tyre shine on it, but some say it's gonna peel off the paint.

Any suggestions?

guys,need your input on clay bar & clay mitt? which one you guys prefer?

 
how much you bought the meguairs clay bar?

you newbie ex-sifu ?    ...

1. Any car shampoo will do - washing and drying method is the concern.
2. Yes for sure, can even wax and polish
3. Cannot. Brightener is acidic bases.

this is easier to use as you wont get overspray.

Hi guyz,where can i buy sealant and what brand do you guys suggest.tq

Best place to do coating for honda city ?

Hi I have been searching for some liquid spray kind. I dunno what you guys called it, but I saw at the car detailing place that the guys spray on the car and using soft brush (like for kids painting brush) it will clean out some black contamination near the BADGES, headlamps, tail lamps.

Anyone can advice?

Besides, anyone can advice what item do i need to buy to take care of white car? especially prevent it turning yellowish.

Also, taking care of the windscreen from having contamination causing mark at where the wiper blade don't reach

No, don't have foam but can see the liquid turns into black color and drooling down. I was wondering is it rubbing liquid? If it is, any recommendation?

What is sealant? what does it do?

I saw u recommended car pro products, which I also saw on youtube. Those 500ml sealant can last how many time application? and use it after every wash? Quite costly.

Besides, I check out the site u gave, then dun have the TR.IX which was shown on the youtube (carguru something)

The 3 categories for paint protection:

Wax- Car waxes can come in the form of liquids or hard pastes. Each feature a specific ratio of naturally-occurring wax as the main ingredient. Waxes are intended to protect the paint and/or increase the depth of gloss. They usually offer that signature wet look shine and are usually easy to apply and remove. Traditional waxes will diminish through repeated washes and exposure to the elements. Car waxes usually provide protection for 1-4 months depending on their composition, quality and contents. Some hard paste waxes on average last longer than liquid waxes as the carnauba wax ratio is higher in paste waxes.

Sealant- Paint sealants are liquids that contain manmade polymers, resins and synthetics to increase their durability and longevity of protection. Paint sealants offer an easy application processes and offer a extremely tight molecular barrier to a paint surface for increased bonding capability and structure.

Coating- A paint protection product that contains man-made or synthetic protection ingredients. They bond to the paint to both provide a barrier of protection as well as create a clear, high gloss finish. The products available in this category are considered “permanent” coatings because they cannot be removed unless you remove them via abrasion (polishing) or you neglect them.

Hi sifu, anyone can advise how to fix key scratches? Do I use sand paper then polish and compound?

Where can I find a 3M claybar? or can you guys recommend me a claybar to get?
Lazada sellers are selling fakes apparently

I am planning to do ceramic coating, can I use the sealant after I done ceramic coating?

Besides, I heard that the ceramic coating hydrophobic will wear off after 1-2years, any good recommendation to reapply hydrophobic agent for later?

Good find.  Thanks for sharing.  Description does sound like Carpro Reload and is about RM50 cheaper per bottle

Genrally there are 2 types of coatings.  Ceramic based and SiO2 based.  Ceramic is more durable in general while SiO2 gives better clarity (i.e. glass like shine). 

Coat friendly detailer sprays also have SiO2 based or ceramic based.  Carpro Reload is a good choice for SiO2 detailer spray (about 5% SiO2 content) which can be applied about once a month to maintain the shine and slickness of surface.

For ceramic coats, you can try ceramic based detailer spray like Feynlab detailer spray.  There are not many ceramic based detailer sprays (with ceramic content).  It's quite an amazing product in terms of slickness and wet oily look shine.  The hydrophobic qualities of this spray is also extremely good. 

My local CeramicPro shop says need 3 days for the silver package, for my MPV
need that long meh?  I thought only need one whole day?

just bought myself a carpro perl.. after a year of hesitation (due to too many products LOL). the below happening motivated me to look for new trim dressing to test

one sad thing occurred to me recently is my myvi radio antenna rod cracked!
well taken care of... i usually coat it with car wax or trim dressing but what destined to fail will fail ultimately.
Surface, everything is still shinny and new which is the testimony of my effort. Structurally, it gave up as the plastic become so brittle that it become power even some light knocking on it

Hi all sifus
A few questions to ask for silica coating maintenance

1. Can meguairs deep crystal top coat used for maintenance? Or meg quik detailer better? For any application of protection on top of your coating, u should refer to the shop that did your coating, because they give u warranty and should know their product better.

2. Can i clay bar a silica coated surface ? Will the claybar strip the coat? (Correct claybar technique used) Claying may not strip the coating outright, but it will scratch and damage the coating surface. Personally not recommended, regardless of technique used.

3. Meg gold class vs nxt car wash, which one better for silica coated surfaces? As in more lub and stronger cleaning abilities. Personally I prefer stronger cleaning abilities, and I dont think NXT soap is aggressive enough to damage your coating. After all, we dilute it in a wash bucket anyways.

Tq all sifus.
