coating is depend on workmanship n product. My fren spend rm1k++ do coating on his white SUV but cannot last 1 yr and hard/cannot washout the stained by normal wash...

Another fren do his white civic at ceramic pro at rm2.7K. Stained could be just easily wipeoff... side doors knock by others can easily removed the white mark.

Wax need to often topup and not lasting due to our weather. I dun think wax can get the glossy effect n hardness that coating hv.

Coating hv the evryday brandnew/shine new effect that last 2yr onward.
To me coating is very pricy. the price can respray the whole car. But respray cant get the original paint n clear coat quality.
