Not bad. I haven't actually use any of their polishes, but solutions such as degreaser, car shampoo, fabric cleaners are actually affordable compared to many brands and it works.

I am a fan of their aio paint cleaner 51, and have many of their detailing tools. What I like best is their dedication in servicing their customers.

My car is coated and I park my car inside my house whereby the root could not cover the whole car, leaving part of the front to raining especially the raining drops from balcony. Part of the bonnet has dust/water mark which could not be cleaned by wash.

Any recommendation?

I am experiencing the same problem as yours, my porch only covers half of my car.

and i have a black car, so watermarks are quite apparent on my car. You would want to try the mildest solution to start with, from claying -> acid based water removal -> polishing -> compounding
But I do weekly washes, and sometimes weekly waxing depending on my available free time.

For your case, try orsen's paint restorer, it is a paint cleanser that contains solvents that cleans and abrasives that somewhat cuts a little, might be able to remove those embedded dust and watermarks.
Else, polishing will always do the job. For more serious watermarks, ie: type 3 watermarks, you would need some compounding.

Liquid waxes that contain petroleum-based ingredients contains solvent that can actually "clean" a little on paint. Which is why i top up my wax very often. My gf's car is white, i find it very often that i have to re-wax on her front hood because of embedded dirt.

edit: just read that your car is coated, missed out on that. you can opt for coating-reactivator or straight to watermarks removal for that. don't recommend polishing it unless you know what you are doing. but you can still use any paint cleaners like orsen's paint restorer on it.

Ya, it is coated and the vendor told me don't use any products on top on it other than wash will do. Should there be any issue, bring back to them and they will settle for me for free.

The issue is, they are too far for me. If I can do it myself for just 10-15 mins for it, I prefer to do myself.

coating-reactivator or straight to watermarks removal are free/safe for coated surface?

what is your car coated with?
I wouldn't be too worried la if i were you, as long as no polishing or compounding steps are taken.
Most coatings are able to withstand generic chemicals. waterspots removal like meguiars is quite safe. for coating reactivator, usually best to stick to reactivator that contains sio2/silica based products as most coatings are based on those.

FOC Crystal Coating is a new generation Nano technology coating that protects and enhances the appearance of automotive paint in one step.

There are many copies of products also called "glass coating" in the market.

However, they are creamy looking and never actually turn to glass or never harden, even after they have been left for a few weeks.

We import our coating liquid from Japan, which is packed in small bottles, it is an inorganic glass liquid and has a crystal clear colour, solidifies on contact with air to enclose your car in hard glass.

Superior protection against UV rays, pollution, chemicals, bird droppings, paint fading, dirt, dust and etc.

From Restoration to Prevention

So feel free to drop-by our outlet and make yourself fully understand our products and we are welcome you to let us know what you think.

checked their facebook, did not disclose the coating that they are using.
But again, almost all are silica based. so pretty safe to use waterspot removal

Ya, they dont disclose. As told, imported from Japan.
