Throughout my investigation, I found minor swirls and hologram. 1st I need to clean this car first. Using 2 bucket method to reduce scratching on the paint while washing.
After wash and clay...I go straight to 1 step polish. The reason I chose 1 step is because I don't wanna reduce so much clear coat because this is a new car. In fact, the scratch and swirl was not that bad. After 1 step polish and coating application :
No more scratch and swirl
Look at that beading showing how water repellent it is
No hologram

4 Easy Tricks To Save Your Wallet On Car Cosmetic
"Why should I apply any protection on my car?"
"Detailing is a waste of money!!"
"My car is new, it does not need any protection"
If you have ever had these thought inside of your head, you should reconsider again..A car without any protection can cause you more money than you could ever imagine!! Read this 5 reasons why you should detail your car to get better understanding.
Clear coat defect is the product of lack of proper car care...If your car reach this level, the only solution is repaint.. Repaint your car can be pain in the ass!! It hurts your pocket!!...You can say bye-bye to your family retreat on school holidays..Unless you are very rich, you can't take this for granted.. Below are some pictures I took to show how bad they are.
Bare in mind all these defects are beyond repair. Lets take a peek at repaint prices in KL.
Hurmm...that's quite expensive...the cheapest is RM 1,200 but without the "PENAMBAHAN HARGA"...you do the math which one is cheaper..coating or repaint?
The good thing about coating is that you never have to polish often or no more polish as long as the coating remain on the paint!!..wow!! that saves money alot!!
Lets stop talking and show you the "4 Easy Tricks To Save Your Wallet":
1) PARK YOUR CAR IN A GARAGE
Protect your car from the sun & rain. Too long exposure of sun light can lead to clear coat defects. If rain water dries on car paint, it will leave water marks.
2) WASH CAR WEEKLY
To maintain your car to look amazing, you need to wash your car every week to remove any contamination before they eat up your coating or clear coat if they stay there long enough.
3) APPLY PROTECTION
Protection on car paint helps extend paint lifespan by minimizing contact between contamination and clear coat surface. Examples of paint protection are Wax, Sealant and Coating..Choose your budget!!
4) CHOOSE RELIABLE DETAILER
Choosing the right detailer is as important as choosing your barber. The last thing you wanna do is pay for paint correction but the end result is not satisfying. Polishing reduce a bit of clear coat layer. A good detailer will try to minimize the reduction of clear coat layer and at the same time achieve amazing result.
tips: When choosing a detailer, look at the quality of work rather than prices.
