Hi guys, I have done glass coating on my car and wondering what shampoo is suitable to use and looking for your recommendation. My Coating shop told me that my current Meguair Wash and Wax is not suitable but they have yet to tell which is. Looking for your feedback. Many thanks.

Owned a gloss black car and after coating still shiny shiny after every wash.. did my coating at Ceramic Pro

at 1st plan to add PPF after coating on front part (front bumber/hood/fender) and doors but cannot find affordable PPF.. all around rm4k-rm5k front part only 

Was comparing Ceramic Pro brand coating vs Sonax CC36 from Germany. In the end went with Sonax as ceramic pro price is very expensive. I did mine in Singapore. The end results is very good on my new continental car.

When do side by side comparison with another non ceramic coating new car, both the same black Color, u can easily tell that ceramic coated car has the look of mirror like, flat and glossy smooth finish.

For Non ceramic coated new car paint, when looking from side at 45degree angle, u can see the unevenness, wavy texture of the paint.

Sonax product guarantee is 36months. But i think with our weather, maybe last 2 years. I shall see and report back.

Can it be used on plastic trims as well as headlights and taillights?

How much is Sonax cc36? I paid nearly RM3k for ceramic pro silver package + interior.

Approaching 1 year mark soon.. still shining hehe

coatings are not useless. skeptics deem that it is because of all the false advertisements most shops put out (eg: wash car once every month only etc) and when these claims cannot live up (obviously since it is fake) then all the negatives come in.

coatings are not invincible, like wax, they are made to add just an extra layer of protection on top of the existing clear coat, a more resistant sacrificial layer (if you will). the "scratch resistance, hydrophobic effect, glossy surfaces" are like french fries that comes with your burger.

the idea is when something "bad" happens, you only need to remove that layer which was not "part" of your car - a feel good factor.

while polishing is an effective way to restore your paint work but there's a limit to it before the clear coat is "wiped off"and it hits the actual paint work.

at the end of the day, no matter what "stuffs" you put on your car paint, if you neglect it, it is bound to go straight to hell.

i am a firm believer of good old elbow wax kinda person and i still do because they are cheap and they work BUT depending on the individual, some may not want to spend that extra effort on applying the wax once every 6 - 8 months and the surface prep prior to application is tedious (claying etc). I know it because i have been doing it for the past 4 years on my Accord.

applying your own wax is made even more difficult if you are living in a stratified property because you cannot occupy the car wash bay for the entire day and deprive others of the usage.

when i bought my new car, i decided to give coatings a try, paid RM2,100.00 for a 5 year warranty one and i am enjoying the convenience that it gives me at the moment. RM2,100.00 is a lot of money but if it realistically, it's just about RM1.00 daily.

Where do you normally park your car? Shaded or expose to the rain and sun?

I did at Sensha Coating Malaysia. Love the results.

Any recommendations for coat-friendly shampoo?

Thanks above for the Sonax option.
