Yixiang1 3rd Gear March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 No right or wrong lah.. seeing how many of this PPS business there are out there.. a lot of people do it too.. What is $1-$2k for a $100k vehicle... we spent so much Liao, as sporeans we just love our cars.. Peace out guys.. My Permanon does not seem to withstand hairline scratches well.. but hairline only, must have bright sunlight then can see, so it doesn't matter I guess. CSII has been around a long time. So it's reputable.. I just dun get why must it b so expensive. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbluepica 2nd Gear March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 You must be one of those who spend hundreds of dollars on such stuff.$1400.

So it's reputable.. I just dun get why must it b so expensive. Cos it's 3 years warranty. $300 plus per year. Normal polishing $150 can only last for 6 months. And it's the invention of the chemicals. All these will add up to the cost. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhondafit 1st Gear March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 Those pps (ceramic coating) is scratch RESISTANT not scratch PROOF. So if one intentionally use a sharp object to scratch the car, no paint work will be able to withstand that. So lets be realistic. You get what u paid for 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelby 2nd Gear March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 Hi guys, I just collected my K3 SX! Just wondering if anyone did PPS to their new car soon after collecting? I'm quite new to driving, only drove a 2nd hand Fit for 1yrs+ previously so never done any detailing.I did my pps on day 2. The pps is one of the merchant in this forum.It is a good to have but not a must have. It make washing of the car easier but if you are those who go for petrol wash i suggest you dont do pps. Because pps need to maintain, go petrol wash it will detoriate the pps. Of coz there are those pps that are certified by labs. Yes some of the Bros has point out it is scratch resistant but not scratch proof. Do now or do later depend on indiviudal but if do later when the car has more scratch or paintwork decrease shine,i suggest go for respray whole car better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwoni 1st Gear March 18, 2017 Share March 18, 2017 U do pps mainly to minimise damage due to scratches, chemicals, tree saps, bird droppings etc. Without pps chances r u get perm scar on your paintwork which u spend more $$$ trying to remove. Pps oso make your maintenance like washing easier..dust dun stick on easily..dirt can be washed off by water..car wash is a breeze. Pps dun prevent damage they minimise. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's reputable.. I just dun get why must it b so expensive. I find CSII's standard a bit lower than some of their competitors... but still tougher than smaller name coats. Permanon doesn't sound like it is especially tough without frequent maintenance and reapplication.

It's worthwhile because it provides a tougher sacrificial layer that will preserve the valuable paintwork without the need for frequent waxing and polishing... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbluepica 2nd Gear March 20, 2017 Share March 20, 2017 Got my steering column replaced today at C&C as it had knocking sound. After replacement, noticed that the steering tend to settle more to the left. Any bros have this problem? I thought was alignment problem but C&C said they did wheel alignment.

I thought was alignment problem but C&C said they did wheel alignment.Did they gave you the alignment values slip? If not try asking for it.What I know is, as long as its within the green band then its within limits. If you go outside to do alignment then the values will be more precise.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore do not go outside do speaking from experience or conjecture.how would C&C know if you did alignment outside or not? anyway, if within warranty, just do with C&C if they caused the steering alignment problem when they replaced the part for you.

coolbluepica 2nd Gear March 21, 2017 Share March 21, 2017 They did not provide alignment report , they did said verbally yes it's done. Anyway gave up on them. I went to Stamford tyres to do. Found that indeed wheel alignment was done but not the steering wheel position alignment. It was at 11:30 position on straight road. I have lifetime free alignment with them cos bought a set of VR rims from them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&C didn't set your steering wheel to 12 o clock position before they adjust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&C should have sorted it out correctly otherwise might be considered dangerous. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
