I think it's the 3-step using the Deep Crystal Polish & Wax. If you wanna get Meguiars product cheaper about 20%, check out which Saturday they are having their auto clinic held at Hypercoat, USJ.

You mentioned your friend... does he/she works at Meguiars? IMHO, if you are not very good at paint detailing, I would advised you let someone professional to do it or you may botched up your paintwork.

Btw, once HC3 is more established, we can opt for a auto clinic at Meguiars for this club.

How long will this last?

yea... find other "thing" and enjoy... haha

No woh, all at klang valley.


sealant last for 1 years, every 2-3 months have to do wax.

u mean every saturday? 20% cheaper on Meguiars product and they help us to apply as well?

My friend's husband own the car wash centre, so they bought Meguiars from distributor like Hypercoat or a-dealer. I not sure where they get Meguiars tho.

Wax will last about 2 weeks but you dun need to polish for a year or so. The main difference between this and PPS is PPS puts a layer of protective film over your existing paint where else this detailing treats your car paint to give it better gloss and shine but you still need to apply need to wax your car every few weeks. The bottomline is you either get a good looking paintjob but you still need to wax or you dun have to wax often and just wash but you won't get the best paint look.

Added on March 2, 2009, 6:29 pmHypercoat(Meguiars) is the sole importer and distributor of Meguiars product and they do not open on Saturday. However, they sometimes conduct their auto clinic on some of the Saturdays. If we(as a club) apply for their auto clinic, we definitely get that 20% discount on their consumer products except the professional products. If Hypercoat has a auto clinic(usually a car club will be present) on the particular Saturday, you can sometimes get that discount automatically(happens once on my case).

Just to share more on their consumer line...

NXT = this product focuses more to protection not looks therefore more water beading, the sealant last longer, etc.
Gold Class = this product focuses more to looks, deep gloss or shine therefore their waxes are carnuba type and they don't last as long as NXT.

Honda City Enthusiasts Club Detailing Clinic

2009-03-01

0900hrs - 1400hrs

Meguiar's Show Car Detail Center@ Jln Templer, PJ


aiks, just over.

Yup, I was reading their website too. I heard the Jln Templer is another one of their branches. I was planning to join another car club for their event there but due to poor response, it has been cancelled.

Btw, who are the Honda City Enthusiast Club? They are not Team City, right?

I might go for this few products.

NXT Generation® Car Wash



1892ml Price: MYR 60
Advanced formulation and an exciting new look - a killer combo! Our expertise in Engineered Synthetic Polymers (ESP) has provided us with the technology to create a completely synthetic car wash concentrate that loosens and emulsifies even the toughest dirt and road grime while synthetic lubricating oils glide them off of the surface without marring the finish. Engineered water softeners help reduce deposits in hard water, leaving behind a spot-free finish.


ScratchX® Scratch & Swirl Remover


207ml Price: MYR 60
Eliminate fine scratches and swirl marks with ease. This advanced formulation removes scratches and swirl marks while enhancing the paint colour. This product should not be confused with the many aggressive cutting compounds available. More gentle than other formulations, it won't leave behind more scratches than it takes out, making it ideal for quick touch-ups or reviving a car's entire paintwork, even on today's softer clearcoat finishes.


Deep Crystal® System Paint Cleaner - Step 1



16 oz Price: MYR 49
Creating awesome results is not always possible in a single step so this three-step system is ideal for serious enthusiasts as well as those who have paintwork that has not been cared for as often as it should have been. Each product is designed to achieve a specific result and should be applied in numerical sequence. [ Step 1 ]


Deep Crystal® System Polish - Step 2



16 oz Price: MYR 49
Creating awesome results is not always possible in a single step so this three-step system is ideal for serious enthusiasts as well as those who have paintwork that has not been cared for as often as it should have been. Each product is designed to achieve a specific result and should be applied in numerical sequence. Apply a panel at a time and remove before fully dry. This product is not a wax and doesn't cut - it is a pure polish that conditions and nourishes the paint and is the secret to creating an awesome, deep, wet-look shine. [ Step 2 ]


Deep Crystal® System Carnauba Wax - Step 3



473ml Price: MYR 49
Creating awesome results is not always possible in a single step so this three-step system is ideal for serious enthusiasts as well as those who have paintwork that has not been cared for as often as it should have been. Each product is designed to achieve a specific result and should be applied in numerical sequence. [ Step 3 ]


Ultimate Quik Detailer®



650ml Price: MYR 69
The most advanced high bead and deep gloss spray detailer! Meguiar’s®, the company that brought car enthusiasts the world’s first spray detailer, now introduces a revolutionary mist and wipe product that works like a spray detailer and enhances wax protection. This totally unique formula represents a significant breakthrough in technology that has even our eyes popping! Through the use of new Hydrophobic Polymer Technology™, Meguiar’s has created a spray detailer that actually repels water, withstands multiple car washes, and adds additional protection to your finish. The secret lies in the high level of surface tension created when these revolutionary polymers react. The result is a slicker, darker surface and incredible water beading! You will feel your towel almost float across the surface. The gentle, high lubricity formula is safe on all paint types including the latest clear coats and can be used daily to remove loose contaminants, dust and grime to keep your car looking its absolute best. It’s so easy, you can detail a full size car in less than 10 minutes!


Any comment?

I can only comment on the Scratch X since I have only that one of all you listed above. I find it very effective in removing most scratches at clear coat level(if your scratches reaches base coat/paint, this you cannot fix at all).

The other products I have used so far are the Gold Class Car Shampoo, Safe-Degreaser(Professional Line), Quik Detailer, Quik Wax, Gold Class Trim Detailer and The Natural Shine Vinyl. Two of the items I mentioned above I got it free

Oh, btw... the Deep Crystal system, you can buy it together in a set instead of buying individually. I cannot remember whether it comes with a clay bar or not. I have to check again either on the website or with them.

nice la.. malaysia government
blood sucker

Aiya. Let's not bother about that.
Well.. if it's any consolation.. we can actually put that R18 engine into our car.. or the K20A if we have the money..haha!

I attended two auto clinic under two clubs in the past so that's why I got two freebies from both the clinics.

The NXT series like I mentioned is more to protection to your paint job. The Gold Class is the other series more to looks. There is a professional line of products of Meguiars but those are what the car care centre uses or more for professional DIY detailers. I checked their website and they have another range I am not aware about.

Saturday just collected my NHC PMM E spec. drive for 3 days already. Feel satisfied on it. luckily the previous discussed problem regarding the gear sluggish changing matter doesn't really bad for me, enjoy the audio system much, and overall quite comfortable especially the rear seat. Haven't installed anything yet for it. Just the Ecotint solar + safety tinting, the mat, hanger and sun shade. Currently looking into safety gadget like brake lock or steering lock. Might getting a boot tray when there's released after market. Besides, probably need the side step to avoid scratching. Exterior part, guess nothing much need to add up. but looking into the spoiler. Dun like the Modulo spoiler. Guess the Mugen spoiler will be a killer look. hope so.

Lovin' it
