It’s not just about the cost. There’s too much effort needed to maintain it.

Some coat require monthly visit to the same shop to maintain it.

When you calculate the cost over the years there’s not much difference than the cost of repaint the whole car.

coating is pay peanut get monkey, so have to go for the high end product for long lasting and it also require to do annually maintenance

but if you have budget constrain, just go to car wash ask for the water repellant coating can liao, RM50 can get and do once per month
after that, every year go for WAX and polish can liao

I did 1.5K last time. Yes, this 1 memang shinny kao kao. Even I left for few weeks still shinny. Hujan lebat oso u still can see clearly ur windshield. But need to recoat every 5-6 months which cost 200 per session.

This is understood. It's just a coating to give a shine and against the elements like water, mud and sun
which brand good ?

I learn, if u didn't start treating ur car nicely from the start.
Ull need a lot of treatment before even looking in to coating

I started with wax, but hate it with Malaysia weather.

Now using RESET as weekly car wash
Using soft99 window repellent
Using Reload 2.0 for coating
Using Degrease for stripping old coating
Using clay bar + lube for iron removal

Exterior no need wasting time coating lah, if you just want a water repellent effects, just use sonax they have wide range products easy to use and maintain, cheaper option soft 99 pun ok lah , last thing is your window, windshield, when raining is your only visibility to drive the vehicle, not rely your exterior body to see road,

U use pressure washer?
More lazy way to maintain gloss and water repellent is spray hydro2lite and rinse. It works perfectly with paint/plastic and window. I apply it every 3 months.

Far from pro, I think I rush through the process too much. I feel like prep for coating is not done well especially with panel wipe. I suspect got oil left on the panel after polish then I go coat. Then it wears off. Determined to do it again this month for one last time. Otherwise I will go crazy haha.

Yes prep work is important and is time consuming then OCD like i guess already but not sure wash that part again hahaha , because those carwash sikit sikit Polish dang the clear coat getting thinner and thinner most of the time i don't care exterior much lah, just if got mood only do it properly .

I never use before these nano/ceramic coating products on my car. Want to give it a try. Went on shopping app and see prices from RM15-RM300

Such a big variation. Are they scam or only certain brands can use ?

Come give recommendation ?

Yeah thats why I am reluctant to send it to those acah2 detailer. For those higher end ones who you know can do a good job, it isn't worth it for my cheap car either. My dad sends his car to get it "polish" every few weeks but I'm pretty sure they just wax. I don't have time to tinker with his car but I told him about clear coat thinning also.

Exterior important but not as important as interior cleanliness of course. But most important thing is mechanical health of your car haha. I spend more money on that
