Beehive3783 Turbocharged May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Golden questions: 1. How old is your car? 2. Do you intend to renew COE? 3. Is there value addedness to your career in having a shiny car? If all answers are no, please proceed to spend the money on your family instead. More people happy better than one person happy.

MCFKK 1st Gear May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Been also doing some desktop research on this - (zero chemistry background so pls correct if wrong) ... seems that the nano coating is an improved version of the earlier "polymer sealants/PPS" and they are more lasting/durable compared w the polymer sealants/PPS. Also anti-scratch and hydrophobic hence easier to clean?! Piyopico, if you hv the nano provided by the AD, any comments on it?? Any bros have comments on which nano coating is good & durable?

Most towkays I think take pride in the status n appearance of their cars.if they cannot even maintain a car well,what is there to say about their business? of course, this does not really apply to small time business man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car actually comes with nanotechnology coat, some more got one more free coat to be utilised within 18 months. I really dun know how good is it so considering 3rd party. However I have this feeling none of them will last more than 9 months. ..... 😆 No career but own business is it? Then go and do lor. My ride got scratched one round when it was 3 months old.

I dun really wanna spend time at the workshop waiting for people to polish my car thatz why looking for one solid type that will allow me to wash car once every two weeks.

I really dun know how good is it so considering 3rd party. However I have this feeling none of them will last more than 9 months. ..... Some of the other nano coatings are super deep glossy wet look and are 3-5 layers - plus they also apply to the rims (in addition to headlights, plastics and chrome trim)!!!!! (Pretty sure AD's is only 1 layer and water doesnt seem to bead up very well.) The alleged ease of maintenance is making me consider doing a nano coat.... hmmm...

If you want to wash your car every forthnight, then you have to pray for sun everyday. Road dirt accumulated for 1 week + sudden rain + white car = very dirty.

Skrukawa 1st Gear May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 +1 on glass coating I did mine for 5 mths now, shine still there and no water marks, compared to neighbor's new mazda 3 bought around the same time. bird poo also easier to wash away. There are more and more workshops doing it now, range from $400-$1k++ for 3 layers of glass coating in SG. Do search around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayoflight 5th Gear May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I did my glass coating at detail mania when car was 3mths old. It was very well done. Pros: Water beading effect Washing is super easy (car shampoo can already) Bird shit easy wipe. Car still shines well after wash. No need spend hours waxing yourself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
