I found that the Deep Crystal System 1 and 2 are abit difficult to buff off. For beginners, its easier to use ColorX. The new NXT 2.0 should arrive Malaysia this month!

DC1..is wipe then wipe off, you do not have to wait for it to haze
DC2..you need to work the product onto the paid, as in keep rubbing until the residue is gone.
DC3.. wipe..wait dry wipe off.

hope i m correct on this

or wait for 2 years only start car detailing?

ppl say car detailing should not be applied on new car as this may damage the paint. is this true?

IMHO..it depends. Sometime before they(salesman) deliver the car to you, they will sent the car for detailing first. But for me, i will still send the car for detailing. New cars but the condition where they store your car already have sufficient time to season the paint. The only time that you shouldn't detail the car is when the paint is still fresh, you need to wait around 3-4 weeks down the road for the paint to cure. Do correct me if i m wrong on this.

detailing may included polishing...
usually polishing not recommended for new paint, no point to remove paint layers since the paint is still new...

new paint doesn't mean it look great and feel great and with protection ma. sweat.gif . Usually new cars when send for detailing job, they won't use heavy cutter polishing. Just a normal paint cleaner and some light polishing will do the job, no clear coat paint will be removed. Detailing doesn't necessary mean will remove the layers ler tongue.gif ..just my 2cent

thats is my IMHO lar, as long it is not on fresh paint from painting garage. For new cars, the cars has been under the sun/run/daylight/night and so on. The paint should be cured by then, so there is no problem doing a light detailing job on it. The reason why new fresh paint are not advisable to polish and seal is because u need to the paint to breath and cure first, if you seal it before it is cured then u might have a rough surface, like pimple or some sort. Do correct me if i m wrong on this.

PG sealant polymer is safe to use frequently but just make sure when you apply it sealant doesn't get into black trim areas.
