How much do you think it will cost to detail a current generation 5 series with swirl marks all over the vehicle. The paint is black. Interior and engine detailing will not be required.

That would be the Premium Polish and Wax package for RM400. 5 Series if larger than the usual sedan, thus requiring more time to be completed. Sorry for the late replies as I am away on assignments.

No bro, Hypercoat is the main distributor for Meguiar's product which is much closer to us, they offer us technical support and product knowledge for us as well. We then use all of those knowledge to be applied in any of our services, being well versed in our services is what we thrive for.

We used to sell them, but now we import personally for our on company use. If we have extra stock we will update it into our website www.klasse.com.my or www.autodetailing.com.my which is currently under construction.

My second visit to Daikin. Overall it's ok. For Rm15, at least they throw in quick detailing for interior using NXT interior cleaning. Wat's more, they even throw in Endurance for tyre and Meg glass cleaner. Most of the place i went like Shinetech only wash using Meg and nothing more. It cost Rm17 there. But when u see they put one pile of concentrate liquid on the washing glove and wipe ur car with water, it look dam rich foam that it make RM17 worth the money. Raydiance uses Meg too but sadly it's snow wash type and they throw in Meg glass cleaner for the price of RM12.

I would say Daikin will be my top list if not because of the timid shampoo meg plus they use. I can see so less foam on my car and it certainly show how little they use and the mixing is kinda like lot of water with little of Meg shampoo plus. Hope they improve there. Futhermore, they advertise in their shop saying using Meg Gold Class Shampoo and conditioner but using Meg Plus. hmm.gif Please buck up on the ratio mixing Daikin and i will be ur loyal customer.

Result is ok though they are kinda rough on my interior leaving my tweeter cover to break. Luckly i can jes fix it back. It's a JBL componet mind you. When open door, lots of water dripping out of the door. Not detail enough. Detail the interior of steerling wheel too much. It make it to be oily. Dun forget to wipe off the NXT interior next time for customer on the steerling wheel. Roof, not clean enough. Still can see left over wax i done last week.

Hope u can take it as constructive comment. Oh ya, i saw a SOP (working procedure) in your shop saying 'Only wash when the engine has cool down'
. Jes to let u know that it will take at least 45 minute for an engine to cool down. So if u can't do it, please dun paste it for customer to read. I know it aint pratical to do it so jes take it out. Otherwise it jes look like a joke.

Last but not least, your shop of belakang mali is really incovenient. I need to wait for the gas lorry for mamak store to unload and load empty cylinder before i can drive in that lorong. Very bad enviroment frankly.

I'm a fan of Klasse as well, think Joel will remember me. The fella with the yellow EK, heh.

Joel, I was there last week for a Meg's car wash but they didn't use the 2 bucket method. I had to tell them to prepare a 2nd bucket of clean water.

Hi Adrian,

There are 3 types of Meg's Shampoo
1)Hyperwash Shampoo
2)Shampoo Plus
3)Goldclass Shampoo
4)NXT Shampoo

Our shop use's Shampoo Plus which ratio is lower compared to Hyperwash which tends to foams(suds) more. The cleaning power is on par with the and slightly more lubricity compared to the Gold Class but suds less compared to Hyperwash. This is one of many reasons why I chose Shampoo Plus for my shop, by the way the ratio is 1:128 if I'm not mistaken for Shampoo Plus compared to 1:400 for Hyperwash. If your comparing which on of the above gives more foam, then I would have to say Hyperwash, which also has lesser lubricity. You can request for GC to be used if you wish so.

I will immediately send word back to the office of the interior service done poorly for you and the electrical component you have done for your car.
Please be patient as we will moving to the corner lot as soon as we finish renovating, just got the funds to expand and renovate as much as I am financially allowed. It will be on the same row as the old shop, but at the other of our row of shops. Thus allowing us to have more space and easy access.

If I'm not mistaken, written in my SOP states for the exterior paint of the car to cool down, which is why we wash the put the car in a shaded area and do the interior first to allow the car paint to cool down as much as possible. If written other wise, I apologize for confusing you.

Normally our Meg's Signature Wash is meant to maintain wax protection rather than removing, Meg's pH balanced shampoo doesn't remove wax, thus to remove wax on your roof you would need a paint cleaner to completely remove the wax and preparing the surface before you reapply another layer.

My sincerest apologies, from us at Klasse

EK9? Gabriel? Sorry bro if wrong! Cant think of any at the moment with all my Mechanical formulas in my head. My dad hired 3 more new staff at the shop, I will look into the matter and stress on the 2 bucket method which is of utmost importance.

If at that moment your not happy with the service please tell the boys to do so, we are at your service.

I will look into the matter as soon as possible.

Thanks for looking out for me bro, we'll meet up later!

By chance do you stay near the Mines Business Resort?

We just got contracted to be of service there by the manager there, this would be our 2nd shop soon to be opened after I collect some more funds from the 1st shop.

Glad to hear your feed back. U said that the mixing ratio is 1:128 but are you sure that your worker follow your order?

Car don't cool down in 10-15 minute bro. In fact car cool down around 45m to an hour. 10-15 minute cool down is nothing and are as well the same with straight away washing it.

Hope that you can improve and I will be back for 3rd visit and will comment here again. Will see if it improve like what you said.

For the waxing part, i dint mean to strip of my wax and of course i doesnt wan your ppl to strip off the wax. Afterall Meg wash are not mean to strip of the wax. (not sure if NXT will). What i mean is there is still whitish residue left over. The reason is i can't reach on top of my roof so i jes slimpy buff off my roof.

Hi Adrian,

I will create a new mixing method so that both customer and employee will be at ease knowing the the 1:128 dilution is correct.
Also the paint surface should be cool to do the touch ( you wont feel the like your hand is gonna burn off ), the SOP is meant to be a reminder and a brief checklist for employees that I made before I left for my studies.

About your roof, I suggest you clean/polish it off, or else it will be harder to remove.

Hope your next visit will be a pleasant one.

Peace out!

Most of the quality car shampoo doesn't suds much. A good quality shampoo safely remove dirt without inflicting much swirls and doesnt strip much wax. All car shampoo does remove some amount of wax/sealant. It depends on how much is the shampoo is removing. Cheap shampoos strips alot! Meguiar's Shampoo Plus and Gold Class shampoo doesnt suds much but the lubricity is there. On your next visit, try to feel the shampoo solution with your palm. Shinetech's shampoo may suds alot but are you sure they are really using Meguiar's shampoo? I've seen with my own eyes few shops which claims that they uses Meguiar's products but they fill up some other brand products into the Meguiar's bottle.

Sorry squareballs,

We will be having another outlet near mines real soon, maybe you can visit us there.
We kinda get a lot of customer from different areas too, furthers i would say is from Singapore, had a few pay us a visit =)
Would be great though if I could open in different places, but then would be harder for in maintain quality control.
