Seem like no 1 using this 2 types of coating haha!!

saw yr posts in other thread, so have you decided which car to buy already? btw, which coating is good in Penang? my new car will arrive by this month, i'm also surveying on which coating to go for.

I go for 2.5L 2WD CX5 due to value for 2.5L car plus good FC per some lowyat user...

I nail down to 3 international coating brand in Pg
- G'zox Real Glass (~2.xk) or Quartz 7 (~3.xk) ==> Full Inner & Exterior
- Gtechiq C1 (~2.xk) or Crystal Serum (~4k) ==> Full Inner & Exterior
- Sierraglow Blue Flame (~2.2k) ==> Exterior Only

Inner = Dashboard, door panel and leather seat for inner coating
G'zox Nano Titanum Inner Coating not mainly for damage protection but more on antibacteria, odor etc.
Gtechiq L1 Leather and C6 Dash coating more for abrasion or UV protection etc.

Exterior = Body Paint, Rims, Headlight, all 6 pcs of Windscreen.

Just wondering why you didn't go with the popular choice Ceramic Pro?
I'm also looking for a car coat and it seems like Ceramic Pro is the popular choice especially in KL correct me if I am wrong

Ceramic Pro seem to be not available or famous in Penang.

Gtechiq from UK and Crystal Serum review show the quality quite high ranking as well as extremely strong. Upon done apply perfectly, it not even can remove by wax or polish except using sand papers. Lots of review can be obtain through international auto detailing website or youtube video.

CS Black TSP
- Crystal Serum + Exov2 : Exterior Body Paint (7 Years Warranty)
- C4 : Exterior Plastic
- C5 : Exterior Wheel
- G1/G3 : Exterior Windscreen, Back Glass and Site Windows

My personal preference will be G'Zox as i did compare both their workmanship in Penang.

G'zox really gain my confidence towards their product and even after 3 years, the glossiness of the surface is still there.

Yup, Nicky is a nice guy.

My previous Altis was done by Gtechiq and Dennis after sale service is awesome.. I will posted my new CX5 Gtechiq Crystal Serum + Exov2 tomorrow once done by them....

Are these coatings really stone-chip resistant as claimed?

Actually none of the coating 100% guarantee stone chip.....just can reduce the impact... the stone impact momentum depend on how fast u drive plus the impact angle....if at right angle strong speed especially highway then any coating also cannot tahan...

Very nice indeed, how much does that cost you?

I am return customer for Gtechiq so get it (CS Black TSP 7 yrs warranty) done @ special price 3.xk for total in and out (TSP)....was told original price after discount need 4k++ for Crystal Serum (CS Black TSP) ....if wish to go for lower 5yrs then can get 2.xk for C1 total protect...

This post has been edited by chuah_ph: Jun 15 2016, 07:21 PM

Yeap agree with this. To prevent stonechip, can go for paint protection film (PPF)

Yup.. but high price hahaha

I do provide mobile coating service around Butterworth and SP region during weekend time (with the condition that have covered carpark). Let me know if there's anything I can help you

Yeap

4k after discount for new customer?! That's way out of my budget. What is the term and condition for 7 years warranty? Do you need to return to them every now and then to buff up the coating for the warranty to be valid? If so, do they charge for subsequent maintenance?

Thanks for answering.

If not wrong maintenance only after 2-3 years w/ ~RM250 charges...
Others TSP coating pkg like Gtechniq C1 (Platinum), Gzox Real Glass, Sierra Glow Blue Flame (exterior only) etc can be obtain at RM2.xk ... only Gtechniq Crystal Serum or Gzox Quartz 7 more expensive....


Gtechiq Price list as below (Before Discount):

TSP


Additional (If TSP then already include all the G1, G3, C4, C5, C6 and L1)


Gtechiq Crystal Serum (CS Black) TSP 7 Years Warranty Registration

Your car looks very nice with the coat !
Do keep us updated a few months later as I'm interested to coat my new car but quite worried about the watermark issue that I have read in numerous thread regarding car coats

What kind of water mark? I believe all well known brand coating seen to be quite good....

coating are not watermark-proof, instead it is with slightly more watermark resistance, once caught with watermark also need to grind/compound/polish and recoat

What is the best way to prevent watermark then?

This is not entirely correct. Most of the watermark can be removed by using waterspots remover. Serious etching due to watermark might require recoat then.

Correct me if I am wrong 😃

Regular maintenance (eg:weekly wash) is the key to minimize the risk of having watermark.
Or dry the car immediately if car is wet before the car is baked under the sun. But this sounds too extreme probably haha.

yup, depending on the waterspot removal type and level of damaged by sundried/airdried acidrain/tapwater.
Waterspot removal generally either strong alkaline type (less likely to remove watermarks/less effective) or micro abrasion which might remove or damage the coating, am I right?

sometimes it rains when you are otw to work and dries under sun in open air car park type, this type is most common watermark causing issue which is hard to avoid

So far my previous car w/ Gteachiq C1 coating (~10 mths), didnt see any watermark or any water marks still can easily wipe away.....

1st self car wash after 2 weeks of delivery (Gtechiq CS Black TSP Coating)....1 weeks HW/City drive and 1 week of home staging (bz trip)....full of sturborn stain and dust prior to 1 hr of slow wash ......
