Crap.. my internet d/c'ed when I pressed sent.
Anyhow.. here goes again.
IMHO, I think the PPS is worth the amount (tho a bit pricy).
Advantages noted:
1) easy to wash the car (30 - 40 mins, from start to dry..plus wheels)
2) still retains its shiny look, but less of its 'smoothness' though
What I noted though,
1) It's not as smooth as waxing again (expected), but the shine compensates for it.
2) The claim of the 'water-beading' is overrated, but as compared to my bro's NHC.. mine has more water beads, but nothing to shout about.
3) It doesn't help with marks left by bird shit, I have one tiny spot where the bird shit landed.. dunno how to get rid of that stain (only visible at close up)
4) feel good factor, ppl always look at my car quite shiny when i go to work..
So, at the end of the day.. it's up to you and how you take care of your car. Do note that you need to send your car back for maintenance every 6 - 9 months and it will set you back RM80 - RM100. Personally, I will send it back say 9 months time since I constant clean my car with the recommended pH balanced soap.
Also to note that PPS DOESN'T protect your paint from stone chips, gum or bird shit or deep scratches. That one, you might need the 3M Scotchgard which will put you back RM2,500 just for the front end of your car. The choice is yours.
Im glad that you are still a good happy customer to PPS. to me.... i would felt different. i just washed my car just now....
as for water beading.... not as good as expected.... I am suspecting that i wash out the teflon...... as for shining..... i admit it is shine........ but due to my experience after having 4 car previously....... your car sure will shine after a car wash with a good car shampoo.... and i am not a hardworking car washer last time...... my last car wira black also didn;t wash it for a month but after wash by the outsider.... it is still shine ....... but now the NHC....... i shampoo wash it every 3 to 4 days or when neccessary......... sometimes after rain...... will splash the pipe water to rinse out the acid rain and wipe it dry. The smoothness are sure not there..... so i am not sure this invest are successful or not.
Maybe if you are reading my post to see whether wanna invest to PPS or not....For my opinion...... you must know what is your main reason to invest in PPS. Last time before i do PPS... my objectives is "yea..... finally got something which after applying....no need to wash car so often or wax/polish car so often already(coz i am a lazy driver), and it said... you car will 'SHINE' forever with just 1 time application (didnt mention need to reapply every 6 - 9 month if not mistaken) but after applying only know..... need to go back every 6 - 9 month (like what i did last time to polish/wax), need to wash out the bird shit immediately if got (also same like what i did last time),
so if your objective is to lazy or save money ...... i think PPS.........
but if your objective is "I want my car color to be protected and the color will not "luntur" or damages by so cal "acid rain", bird shit, haze or etc...." then PPS is a good choice,
sorry....... didnt meant to offence.......
