Re: Polishing/protection - Brand New Car
I have been using CS-II on every one of my cars because it is kinda like a glass coat that is friendly with any normal car wash, and no need further polishing/waxing. They give you 2 years warranty and touch-up for you free if glossiness drops by more than 10% (they got the meter thing to measure). Good experience with them so far personally.

It is definitely not wax but a kind of sealant. How good they are? Well, cannot give a grading but good enough for me to stay with them for 9 years.
If there's a chance to meet, u can take a look at my ride and judge for yourself... based on a S$70-100 per treatment (depending on car size) once every 3-months so 1 or 2 years is S$280-$400 or S$560-$800 respectively.
U can call me supporting a SG retiree when his product is comparable to top brands even when his may not be the best... but what is best?
Washing service r just additional income they do, they started w/o washing services there, they 'side-lined' into washing after a customer (I 2nd it) suggested to them. Anyway no longer located there. It is pure Mobile now.MW;824314 said:

Just did my F10 there today and it's still as amazing the kind of gloss they could bring out. Had been with them since my previous ride which was a Golf GTI. The water repelling is so good that after driving through the rain, it still look shiny instead of dirty.
Re: Polishing/protection - Brand New Car
Points to note:
- Original clear coat is the BEST (from germany).
- Polishing will thin down the clear coat.
- After-marking over-coat is good to protect the original clear coat without hard polishing.
To protect original clear coat:
a) use after-market over-coat
b) avoid polishing to thin down this clear coat
c) proper way to wash the car since this is done more frequently than polishing......every week.
My proper way of washing:
1) Never use shampoo with wax to wash car
2) wash car when the surface is NOT hot/warm.
3) Jet with water to remove loose sand, dirt etc
4) wash with soft cloth using "up-down" stroke movement, NEVER use "left-right" movement. very gentle stroke, not hard rubbing.
5) use different cloth for car body and lower car body (front/rear bumper, side skirt)
6) when drying, NEVER use "up-down" or "left-right" movement, USE "tapping". This will really reduce a lot of unwanted scratches caused by washing and drying.
Hint: To see if the groomer are good and delicate, watch how they wash the car.....
I learn from my friend...he is very good in this and his car is....no horse run, all diy himself.

Re: Polishing/protection - Brand New Car
I put it in general term "After market over-coat" , means sealent, glass coat etc...They all serves the same purposes, to protect the clear coat layer of the paint.
Polishing actually remove a thin layer of the clear coat so if done it too often, then when it hit the paint layer, say bye bye to your paint work....

Re: Polishing/protection - Brand New Car
Can't remember the brand BUT bought it from Chandra......He said he is trying this new product and if response is good, he will bring in more.........very easy to apply and no need to clean-up .....BEST of all, it lasts......
Just clay the surface if necessary then apply......no need to polish.
I did it once every 2-3 months myself.
For me, I pay a lot of attention on my washing, most of the fine scratches are resulted of bad washing habit.

Re: Polishing/protection - Brand New Car
For my previous car, i never polished once even after 1.5 years. I just washed my car with water and shampoo every once monthly or bImonthly. after rinsing, i will pour 2-3 caps of Hi-Glaze sealant into a pail of water and then wipe down my car with it before drying it. The car will give a mirror finish after that.
