Used to be like you.. I can polish as often as every fortnightly.
Wash, polish, seal will take >4hours.
But after time got sian and it was too time-consuming.

I got detailers to groom but results were horrible. So now I'm back to DIY-ing.

My next project will be coating liao. Going down the DA route.

There's one guy who charges RM1000 per session for Opti-guard.
He will travel to your place anywhere in MY. Not sure if this is the guy.

not him.

anyone tried permanon product?

There has been some good reads and reviews about this product.

This forum too quiet.

I add one more thread.

So, you ever send your car for those super expensive car detailing job that cost hundreds of dollars?

Or you just do the job yourself?

I am on CS II PPS.

I do it when I get my new car and maintain it annually.

Apart from that, a weekly DIY wash or at the nearby petrol kiosk is good enough for me though my workplace is extremely dirty and dusty.

The Giant at the new Junction 10 range of car care products not as good as vivo, imm. i think it is due to limited space. i checked.

For example, I saw more Sonax and Meguiars products at Vivo than at Junction 10.

Haven't been to Junction 10. I've been to Vivo, IMM and Tampines, quite well stocked.

Thanks for sharing. I was informed of this as well.

However, the location of mxtrading is a bit far off from my place.

I agree 600+ is very high.

I had been using CS II for years and have yet to encounter that price.

As for availability, I understand they got a couple of new outlets around the island, latest being one at Toh Guan which I frequent nowadays.

I went to a car groomer in JB recently and was told that after doing all the polish/wax/seal, subsequent wash no need to use shampoo anymore or the sealant will wear off very fast.

how true is this?

anyway, i only let him wash/vacuum... still thinking need to seal or just do wax every few mths can liao

What kind of products is the groomer using? If his sealant wears off so easily, that means it is lousy.

If you want nice condition, have to wax at least once a month. When you park outdoors in our sun/rain climate have to wax more frequently, i wax weekly.

I opt for the their new ceramic coating with 3 years warranty which is about 600++...
For the paint protection...it still S$200+

So far very happy with the coating..really help especially after rain, just wipe off and if not use water to "clear" the rain and then wipe off.

car done with CS-II ceramic about 3 months ago..as you can see..still look shining..

waiting for my turn to wash the car after days of raining...
