Should I use coating for new car?

....these coatings are not meant to protect the paint from scratches or tiny stones. That's a job for clear bra + intelligent driving....hehehe....

Clear bra soon available in DU. Whole front, side fenders, almost whole bonnet. May be about 3k ... Ouch! Can reprint front end about 3 times.

yupp

and that is only one part...how about yr head lamp preventing from oxidation, windows- driving in rain & visibility, Plastic parts from decaying,

BTW getting yr car repainted is not the best option ....as your original paint is baked at 150 degrees & having a rock finish


at the end of the day...coating is just one part.... the other part is your routine maintenance ....where do u send to wash, how is it wash (while engine still running, seated aircondition view the soapy view - power jet on yr paint (considering the amount of pressure on yr paint- imagine this, the house renovators uses this to flushed off - the old coat of out door paint) the soap use? clear coat? environmental safe? chemical? The newer bimmer i work on last few day, i discovered the paint is so soft & easily marred just by using good morning towels/worn off cloths... at the end of day...i only stress...ONWERSHIP...let takes up the ownership...

for it takes both hands to clap...

Hi KC. Just saw that photo. What has happened to the car ? Is it a sort of corrosion or has the paint faded away ? And regarding this thing if it is asked that should a person use coating for this car then what will you say ? I think the person should agree.

this pic taken 3 years ago

21 years of oxidation & paint corrosion
I always do something others wouldnt (impossible ) task if I fail no one can blame me.......and make it to a big attention thread in USA

so I decided to ask our fellow Malaysia Trainer about this and all he says "dont waste time & get yourself repainted"

and i send him to whole link plus pics

thats to show many does for doing , as work requires them but wouldnt take the extra mile ...or be interested

soon after I realized that they are very few and far too few malaysian actually teaches & share their detailing experience practically - there come our thread

restore before and after
opticoated

still stood still after 3 years
