After polish

Just get my car after putting there for almost 8 hours. Erm, output of the product? Not really satisfied.
1. The inside part of the rim never clean at all.
2. Can see white molekul of wax at bottom of the car door at passenger side. (Exterior)
3. Interior wise, claim can clean the door panel (near the side step) but failed to do that.
4. Interior glossy and shiny but too oily. When ask, use 'Jensen' product. Saw a bottle of Jensen and the outer bottle saw 'bath tub'. Seems like bathroom product.
5. Engine compartment clean but still leave undry. Some water can be clearly seen at stock cover for air filter.
6. Glass not glossy and there is some finger print
7. Smell sucks in the car due to 'Jensen' product.

WIR: Hell No!!
Damage: Rm180

After complaining, the guy told me to comeback on Monday so they could polish for me the interior of the rim FOC and wash for me FOC. Duh, am not planning to return.. :lol

Conclusion: Dun go to unprofesional car polishing center. You will never be satisfied with the detailing they done.

So it will be a total waste?

not really..depends on pp. IMHO, you should wax to protect the shine and paint. rain or no rain, is till better to have the wax around

Don't worry, when you finish waxing, the wax will cure (fully cured in 24 hours) and cannot be washed away with water (unless it's very high in acids and salts)..

Well, the wax protects the paint and you need to protect the wax. I used to wax every 4 weeks but now I found another way to protect the wax. After washing the car, I use the Ultimate Quick Detailer (UQD) and I now and stretch the waxing intervals to about 2-3 months.

i currently using wax now
from what i know, it wont wash away with water for a long time.
When raining, i can see water cant stick together with my fairing.
Wax is just like wash ur car or bike.
SOme tips, if you kena minyak hitam, dan susah nak cuci dengan sabun, guna wax...
dengan mudah masalah tu selesai..

Thanks for the info.. If like this tomolo i am bringin my car to do two layer. Polishing and wax using 100% Autoglym. Anyway, must be careful as some place tipu tell u autoglym but inside soft99.

the wax will protect ur paint against acidic rain.
use the waterproof wax.

Sent my car for polishing, wax and some light grooming interior. Cost me Rm200. Sent my car at 9.30am. Will only get it back at 4-5pm..

So long one meh need to polish and wax??

if complete polish and wax, and only 1 ppl doing it... it may need whole day...
but RM200 pricing, wondering that the materials they used on ur car paint...

They use 100% pure autoglym product. I know the car polish guy.. If bring own product go charge me Rm30 only

even my iswara took hypercoat 2 ppls from 9am to 430pm to wax and polish

rm30 is a good price to pay for polishing services as it is a tiring job.

Can i wash the car after just two days of Polish and wax??

Yes you can, as long as the shampoo used is wax friendly. Most places don't have wax friendly shampoos and that will wash away the wax. What did you expect for an RM180 polish and wax job? It's already cheap and count your blessings that they have not damaged your car instead. Since you have a fresh layer of wax, you can't really tell if they have done a good job with the polish or not. Give it a few weeks and then check for swirl marks but no matter what, I believe that you'd never go back there again.

Added on July 7, 2008, 2:12 pmAt that price I doubt you'd get autoglym and autoglym is nothing unless you get the real good stuff. The only problem with autoglym is that they don't have an office in Malaysia to control their products. Any Tom, Dick and Harry can open shop and stick up the Autoglym sign and have a few commercial bottles of autoglym filled with god knows what product inside.

everytime i wash i juz mix my car shampoo with wax..

the results is good tho, can c more shinier than juz the normal wash n wax shampoo

Sounds like some cheapo RM30 job like other small places. Using lousy products and poor workmanship.

same as what i think...
i did cheap detailing before at SS2...
cost me RM230 for myvi, and only exterior detailing... no engine and interior detailing...
using a bottle of meguairs high end product + other chapalang cleaning components... spent 4-5hours...

so RM180 for exterior, interior and engine... freaking cheap...

Mid size Sedan Cars full polishing with 2 guys probably takes me 4 - 5 hours, even in very bad conditions. Unless it has a continental car paint. Once did one that took me 10 hours O_O

Hmm, ano.. seems that i learn a lesson liau. Next time no more. Hehe. Now will just sent my car to wash and wax myself after wash.

I suggest to use a Clay Bar or Paintwork Cleaner AFTER you Wash and BEFORE you Wax to make the shine better and your wax last longer

I use Dynamo

Hmm Clay Bar. I see b4 some profesional did it using hand.

well..u can wax everyday but not polish..
autoglym was the neat product for polish n wax..but it seem no distributor around malaysia..(i cant find one )
2nd maybe turtle , third maybe osren..dunno correct me if wrong

try one at subang square..they seriously did good either polishin or wax service..

im polishing my car every 6 month..waxing once per month..
if got more money..try autoglym..just make sure they really use the autoglym..not fake one..

It's really good for removing everything that shampoos' can't Downside is the good ones are really expensive, like RM100+, but they last you a very long time. Though I advise against using it on Adhesive Residues, they totally murder your clay bar

Sorry to say this but Turtlewax's level is definitely below Osren.


Theoretically, you only need to polish once if you actually maintain your paint properly. Seeing how you are waxing once every month I don't think you need it. Do you still get swirl marks after the polish job? What does the polish job did for you? Remove scratches? Shine?

Guys, now i never sent my car for car wash liau. Damn the indian ppl all using high pressure jet cleaner to sapu my car. Most of my car bodykit are using PU and join by clip. I scared the bk will koyak as cannot tahan the pressure jet la. Futhermore they clean car fast fast one. Not detail at all.

So instead, i now jes use polishing cloth and clear water only to wipe my car almost 2-3 days once. Never use any solution. Once a month i will wax it with Kit Wax only.

DO u think it's sufficient? I mean i dun use solution but jes pipe water on a bucket and wipe it off the little dirt that accumulate 2-3 days time?

im planning to restore my shine. my car has swirl mark thanks to my incompetent waxing ways. i use soft 99 meta cleaner to wax my car.

at night i can see swirl marks and all that and im planning to restore it with a good polishing job. anyone can recommend me a place that removes swirl marks and gives that reflective shine?

The purpose of a good shampoo is not entirely for cleaning, but also to give lubricity to the water so that when u wash, it does not scratch the car.

Eh Awan thought you hilang sendiri already, long time no see man...... When want CS together again XD


Swirl marks are caused by bad polishing techniques or washing so your waxing shouldn't have caused it. Are you applying the wax by hand or rotary machine?

My shop provides Polishing services I can give you a demo if you come to my shop. The location is Sunway and the link to the road map can be found under my siggy

If i were to know, i will polish at ur place la instead of indian polisher that cost me RM180. Will visit u soon bro....

remove the dirt..n a lil scratch..yeah..supposely..im doin it ony once two year..as it kinda damagin the paint..
my old car need polishin job every 6 mnth..
but new card..ony polish one n waxing more
shinen glosy..wax

No problem bro, come anytime


Every time you polish once it'll make ur paint thinner so try to avoid repeated polishings


Why so? If properly maintained you only need to do polishing jobs probably like once every 5 years or so.

How much is the wax job anyway?

I highly recommend the usage of clay bars.
It removes everything. Even removed the sticker spots after I tore of the stickers EASILY.
Bird shit,stains, spots all kacang putih now.
Even sometimes I lazy to use the cloth and wipe a spot a million times I just straight use the clay bar with soapy water now hahah.
Even now I wash > Clay > only rinse off.

you have been cheated.

Hmm, clay bar expsive ohhh.. Clay bar need to use togather with soapy water de ah..

Yeap I think so. Just clay after you washed with soap before rinsing off the soapy water.
Where got expensive. RM20 also can get a decent quality one.

Theoretically, you need to use it with a lubricant. Usually shampoos will do though. Although I find it better to use my windscreen cleaner


RM20 sounds like PermaGlass. If you car is typically clean you wouldn't have any problems but if you need to remove tough stains you definitely need the good ones that costs around RM130+. But they last you YEARS and they can remove a lot of stuff. The only ones I have problem with are petroleum-based fallouts as those things kill off your clay bars straight away Avoid it like a plague.

But beware Clay Bars also removes your Wax so please remember to top up your wax layer after claying
