Can't really estimate car size from picture. Is it like Honda City size or Accord size?

Hrm funny lately quite a few peugeots coming in.....

sleepwalker one day you can try Mothers Wax, quite ok also and I think the difference is negliegeble. Can DIY

For that size a complete Polish (incl Wax) is RM350.

Actually, for coating we do measure the presence of the coating by the water beading + smoothness. Waxes starts to breakdown with time, which disrupts surface tension thus the water beading. But the coating itself is rigid and flat, the water beading effect. If water beading is not there, we assume the surface is damanged/absent. Subsequently, we'll polish out the remnant coatings (if any) and then re-coat the surface.

As for shine, its really dependable on the conditions you subject it to. There was this MR-S that did the coating 3 months ago, the water beading and shine is great. But the shine at the front bonnet particularly is lacking as the car front is always subjected to exhaust from cars, oil stains from mamak stalls, etc. I did polished it and re-coat it for free out of goodwill. AFter that, I do a high speed wax for his bonnet everytime he comes for his weekly washes. But for other cars that I have done, the oldest a Civic (the VP of 8th Gen Civic Club) I did back in Apr, he's car still looks newly polished.
Materials meaning equipments + chemicals? I'm using SONAX brand chemical, Lake Country Pads, & Flex/Makita Machines. As for the worksmanship, me and my colleague were trained in Neuberg, Germany for a month at the SONAX HQ

For an average Malaysian driver, the wax lasts one month yes. If you think that's too troublesome, I'll recommend the coating.
