After God knows how long, I'll be getting my new car. Yes, it a proton so nothing to be excited about, but it's my first brand new car. Past cars were 2nd hand ones, so mostly just buy, use and abuse thr car only.

After inspecting the car and collecting from the showroom, what should I do first to get it ready? Things like tinting and stuff like that. Its a white car, so should I do anything to protect the paint?

Any ideas are much appreciated.

Tint and dashcam.

No need coating, just wash the car once every 1-2 weeks, and wax once every 3-4 months.

Enjoy your new car!

I think should but its safety tint, no heat rejection. The dealer said he is giving tint voucher also, so we see how.

Dashcam, itu mesti. Any recomendations?

I tak pernah wax my old car before. Just cuci sendiri. Those we the perks of using a 2nd hand car, tak kisah sangat.

Cannot like that anymore. White sumore.

Something cheap you might want to consider for long term. There is a sticker you can buy to protect the area behind the outer door handles. pain in the ass to touch up the paint but scratches are plenty in that area

Also, maybe a cigarette lighter powered tyre inflator since most of us are lazy to check spare tyre pressure.

And also be prepared to top up the tools in your toolkit. Nowadays sometimes pliers also takdak.

Those free free one don't need la ended up giving you those crap tint rm199.. tint last you at least 5 years get a better one.

@TS instead of security get a heat rejection one.. to me heat rejection tint more important and alot of these heat rejection tint good ones are 3mil onwards.

Car mat instead of trapo just buy another brand called trapmat.. u can thank me later.. same same 1/2 the price.

Break-in or run-in the car.... drive max at 3k rpm for first 500km, then max 4k rpm for the other 500km. after that service and change oil and oil filter.

Can redline the car afterwards.

That is what I thought too. That is why plan to get the car and see how bad is the current tint.

Any recommendations on what brand of tint I should go for? Want something good, but don't want to end up breaking the bank.

Will definitely look into trapmat as well.
