From my personally experience, waxing 2-3 times a year is the best. I did coating before, spent bout 3k, interior wise I am happy but exterior is very troublesome, water mark stain and all. Every time go back have to queue and wait. End up I bought a DA and read through how to do detailing. Removed the coating myself and wax all over again. So far very happy with it. aaronwee liked this post

QUOTE(wild_card_my @ Jan 19 2020, 02:04 PM) thanks so much for this personal input man No problem bro, I bought a DA and use compound to remove it myself took me quite awhile.i was worried about claiming the maintenance too. The shops may assign more manpower on the installation of the coating than the maintenance because they have already locked your money with them If waxing, I do not believe I have the skill nor time to do it, I will just send it to the shop at my office, if it is RM200 every quarter it isn't too much at all. That is RM800 a year, while I have been quoted crazy amounts for "coating". I hate having my balls held by businessmen and their "warranty and maintenance" programs How much did you spend to remove the coating?  The thing about coating is really depending on how fussy you are, coating you get the shine but after awhile it will absorb those unnecessary contaminants, don’t get me wrong the car still shiny as heck. For a detailed person like me I prefer shiny + clean, not just shine. Really personal bro, you can check out lowyat detailing thread to understand more. |

I guess I got it all figured out, for now at least. Say no to coating haha. I hate the "maintenance" part of it. With waxing I can do it anywhere, anytime Anyway congratulations on your new ride. |
