Yes, they are a lot of ppf quality. Usually is the cheap ppf adhesive 1 that cause the issues, after ppf remove need to repolish and redo coat/wax crazy a lot of money. That why is only suit for those expensive exotic cars, normal cheap rides dont waste too much money for it.This post has been edited by littlefire: Jan 28 2025, 11:08 AM |

the price never made any sense
what advantage does it give? you still need to wash weekly for its proper maintenance. Even then they rate it will last 1-2 year I cant tell a difference between a properly waxed car and a ceramic coated car looks wise if you do wax every 3 month, thats just RM90 (1 layer) x 4 = RM360, two years only RM720 Still way cheaper than RM1.5k-2k for coating both dont guard against stone chips... so why go ceramic coating? |

just spend hours of clay my car. clay wash a way to remove dirt and contaminated on paint.
everyone should done this within 6months of normal wash. then apply wax polish.. or ceramic coating .. this keep your car super shining. protector from dirt also laaa. |

Because of the glue. Mine lasted 4 years + to rewrap another colour. No issue. Theres 3 or 4 tier to ppf. For cheaper ones. Probably best to rip off after 1 or 2 years |

QUOTE(JON97 @ Jan 27 2025, 03:58 PM) RM 1k+ Prob not, 400 Can consider. Rm299? Where bossI did mine for RM 299, 3 layers. Overall, the difference is that the car is more shiny, there is no need to wax/polish, washing it does not require so much effort and no stains. Wax in Malaysia at most only last 6 months (NuPolish). Just remember ceramic coating does not mean your car is unscratchable and you don't need to wash your car. |

My longest wax experience was NuPolish, which lasted 8 months, after that need allot of work to reapply.what advantage does it give? you still need to wash weekly for its proper maintenance.

So far I've tried Wax and Ceramic Coating.. I would say ceramic coating lasts longer, 1 year still shiny, less stains and is easier to wash. Wax on the other hand its the same for a couple of months then you'll need to reapply. Note: Wax is never meant to be stayed on forever with every rain or washed it will come off. Note: Wax and Polish is different things. |

You can get cheap ceramic coat not much different from expensive one. But waxing, with good product/workmanship, also cost the same as expensive ceramic coat |

My Toyota Corolla Cross, spent RM1.5k for ceramic coating, but because the Cross's paint is so thin, the coating don't really protect the paint - chipped like crazy even with coating - Malaysians mindset just like to open door hit next car's door and like to fold my car side mirror even though it's not parked next to any car (it's parked in a row, not side by side, so I didn't fold the mirrors) |

You want to protect from stone chip, need to install PPF. Even Honda paint very thin ![]() AbbyCom liked this post
