I tried that before and even done by Hypercoat themselves who should know their own products. Unfortunately, the results were far from satisfactory and it was a waste of RM250. NXT does not seem to work on dark coloured cars. Hopefully it would work on light coloured cars since Adrian is driving one.

I really duno how to make those light colour to have those dark colour colour car. I mean, i tried google for one real wet looking white car but none. SO i guess i am out of luck. Maybe it's time for me to spray ferrari red or black colour.

Btw, Sleepwalker, u get ur WRX new or second hand? Feb 2003 until now u have using? The paint look so damn new la. It's good to drive it like normal ah? 120k km leh. Kinda rare to see a sports car that have that high mileage. Normally those sports car are mean for weekend car only. Not suitable for daily driving. May i ask, how many ltr/km?

I bought it secondhand in 2006. The first owner put in 80k km after 3.5 years and I put in another 40k km after another 2 plus years. Previous owner took real good care of it, which is why i bought it and continued his hard work. I met up with him again about 6 months later and he was happy to see that his car was well taken care of.

Almost all my subaru friends in the subaru club use the car as our daily car. Haven't you notice that you see much more subaru on the road than any other performance car? Why bother buying a performance car when you only drive it on the weekends. That defeats the purpose of having a performance car. The highest mileage in the subaru club belongs to a guy who has put in almost 180k km in 4 years. Those with the previous generation GC8s have gone over 200k km. So is it good for driving everyday? Yeap, it's made to be driven.

Consumption? 6-7km per liter in the city. 15km/l on highway speed. 8km/l if we double that.

You prolly should have went with the MEG gold class wax. Then layer it with a layer of reflections top coat from mothers. That will give you the wet look. smile.gif

I aleady have the wet look as you can see above. What I'm saying is that Hypercoat failed as distributors and detailers of Megs. I've always been to Autospa and I thought lets try Hypercoat. They should know better but they failed. So it is still back to Autospa for me. The only DIY I would do is to use quick detailing with Megs. There is no way i would do the paint cleaner, paint treatment, wax and top coat that Autospa does for me each time I wax. It takes 4 of them 2 hours to do it, which would mean 8 hours by myself.

Understand your predicament. I don't think I read it above, how much did you spend on those treatments? I need to polish my car soon.........

Pretty reasonable I'd have to say, depending if its a full job or just a quick polish and wax job.

sent my ride for detailing today..500bucks including engine wash. The whole process took 5hours++..

The result is superb, 99% swirl free..After rounds of compouding using Megs Diamond cut. There's still one long deep scratch noticeable at the bonnet, the sifu took the Makita with wool pad finally remove the deep scratch.. notworthy.gif nod.gif
LSP applied - M21 v2.0

Where's the center located? Even its a Finishing Polish + Interior Cleaning. For SUV RM350 is dirt cheap O_o For Interior Cleaning alone ppl usually charge that price already.

Ralf the polish looks nice. I see you have some marks at your engine. Presume its leaked engine oil stain. You can request them to use Chrome/Alu Polish to remove that for you smile.gif
