QUOTE(sonotme @ Oct 19 2023, 08:00 PM) new car might have contaminants (could had been exposed to sun or rain when it was on the way from factory to you). Ok.. Any recommendation on the polishing product (I'm newbie). For clay bar, I will get one from soft99. Thanks if you don't do it, the wax might not bond fully to the car surface. it's up to you really, if you have the time and energy, do it. If not, probably you can skip and do it later when it's time to wax again |

QUOTE(sonotme @ Oct 19 2023, 09:34 PM) i'd recommend soft99 metaclean or osren polish. I started with those two Ok. I'll get the Meta Clean. I have Luster but just noticed that this cannot be used on Metallic Silver. try sliding your hand across your car paint surface, see if its smooth. If it is, you probably can skip clay/polish and do it 6 months later.. see how rajin you are later in washing your own car (in case you dont wana invest so much in the beginning). Thank you for the recommendation |

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Oct 24 2023, 11:05 AM) of all the brands that i have tried, i recommend Magic 101's Wash & Wax, decent soap that won't break your wallet and easily purchasable too as they are widely available almost anywhere. this is only if you are not "particular". I do have a bottle of Magic 101 Platinum Wash & Wax. I have already applied Fusso Coat F7 and currently, I am using PG pH Neutral shampoo (going to finish soon) to wash the car every week. Is it recommended to use the Magic 101 to wash the coated car? I've read thru the sticker and it did not states anything about pH neutral. Worry, it will strip the Fusso F7 Coat away. Thanks |

QUOTE I used meguiars new car scent and ultimate protectant (they got afew types). Will get the New Car Scent Protectant. Thanks for the recommendation QUOTE Cannot confirm exactly if the Wash & Wax is indeed pH neutral or not but from my experience so far, it appears to be because it does not seem to prematurely strip away the waxes that I applied on my cars. Car shampoo with "waxes" in it are usually pH neutral because waxes don't do well in solutions that are on either sides of the pH scale. As far as the F7 coat is concern, you are actually required to reapply / top up every 3 to 4 months anyway so i wouldn't worried very much about that. Noted on the Magic 101. As for Fusso F7, every 3-4 months, should I just wash with pH neutral shampoo and re-apply Fusso F7 on top of existing coat? OR I have to clay, polish and apply |

Hi, any good product to recommend for coating the plastic part (exterior: near tyre, wiper area, side mirror area and interior: dashboard, door, etc). I found this in shopee that can last up to 6 months. Not sure good or not

QUOTE(sonotme @ Nov 13 2023, 12:30 AM) Hmm.. hard to say, as i reapply quick frequently when i do my wash.. if u mean the outer plastic, i heard cerakote is the best. But its pricier tho.. OK, Noted. I think I'll go for Ultimate Protectant (cream type). From Meguair tutorial, I can reapply every 3-4 months.This post has been edited by akira: Nov 13 2023, 09:23 AM |

Hi, I am going to reapply Fusso coat but before doing that, i have to prep the car to remove the old coat. Can I just decontaminate the car with Soft99 Iron Terminator without claying and polishing? Previously, i did claying and hand polishing with soft99 meta clean but the fusso F7 cannot last long (only about 1-2 months). After reading from some post, It is better to decon with iron terminator or something. BTW, is Soft99 Iron Terminator safe for car paint? Would appreciate if anyone could suggest the best step to prep the car for Fusso Coat 12 (Going to change to this) so that it can last longer. Thanks

QUOTE(ChocoChipz @ Jan 15 2024, 05:22 PM) I bought the same iron remover to apply on my paint (not sure if it can be used that way, will test on inconspicuous part of car first). Do come back and update after a few months to see how well the Fusso Coat holds up. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Currently, I am applying Speed & Barrier. Thinking of applying Fusso Coat 12 before CNY |

QUOTE(xkaizoku @ Feb 28 2024, 08:08 PM) some update: You mean you only wash your car once from 9/12 to 28/2/24? I wash every week and I am still thinking whether it is necessary or not to wash weekly.so after adding degreaser into my steps before applying fusso coat, the beading still looks ok after almost 3 months. 9/12/2023 - coated 28/2/2024 - today, only washed car 1 time (before cny) I guess its a small success compared to my previous attempt which lasted 1 month only im gonna buy ironx when there is a good deal to see if it further improves the effect I just did mine 2 weeks ago since the last one couldn't last long My steps: 1. Normal Wash 2. Clay & Rinse 3. IronX & Rinse 4. Meguiar Compound (Use 5 pads - All extremely dirty) 5. Meguiar Polish 6. IPA Wipe 7. Fusso Coat 12 months 8. Waited 24 hours, then apply Speed & Barrier Result: great beading and the black water stain that normally appears near the front doors can be easily wipe off 9. Wash Weekly with Ph neutral shampoo - Not sure whether washing weekly will reduce the life of the fusso coat. Can I just use flush with water and wipe dry instead of using shampoo?

Hi, I'm considering applying IGL Ecocoat EZ Graphene ceramic coating to my car. Is this a good product? Does it last beyond the 12 months (IGL claimed it can last up to 12m)?
Also, are there any other ceramic coatings you would recommend that offer longer durability? |
