My preregistered car is coming soon and I want to protect its paint from the get go. My main objectives are for the car:
1. Remain looking looking as beautiful as on display at the dealers
2. To keep the cost below the budget of RM5,000, this can be one-off, or be part of the maintenance payments (for example, wash and wax for RM200 every two months means the budget can last for four years)
3. To have a manageable maintenance, I would rather pay someone to do it than having to do it myself. The cost for maintenance should be chalked into the budget above
I understand that it may not be possible to keep my car just as beautiful when it was new, but it is not wrong to try. Look at the car below on display, it is NOT my car, but I how beautiful the paint shines
With these options that I have, which would be best suit my criteria above?:
1. applying a ceramic coating
2. installing PPF
3. applying bi-monthly wax
I have done pps teflon coating in Sunway before. I don’t really keep track on how good it heads over time but sure the first few months it was amazing. After that I got lazy to keep going back to the shop to keep washing the car using their specific wash. But after 7 years I sold the car and though it didn’t bead as before but the paint was still pretty good.1. Remain looking looking as beautiful as on display at the dealers

I did a cheap rm300 diamond 9H coating for my next car and for the price I paid it was pretty good. After 3-4 months I find the water isn’t as beady as the first day but still shiny after a wash. Don’t mind going to redo it in a Years time since so bloody cheap.
I did a a carpro quartz 3.0 and car pro gliss (3 layers ) for my super bike over the weekend. Since the bike is red in colour and red paint doesn’t last long in our hot sun. After the treatment it’s shiny and reflective like mirror now but gotta see how long that last. The guy says to come back in 6 months time to apply recoat and has a 5 year warranty. Cost is Rm1800 for a whole car but bike is half price off so why not for 5 years I don’t have to worry. But the guy is a one man show so need to leave it there as he takes like a whole day to do it, I think it’s better when one person does the job. At least there will be consistency in the work but that’s just me.
