Sktan10 5th Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 But funny right? Buy car but cannot drive, only park at home to keep it shiny. Its like getting married but no sex involve. Dents n scratches are part n parcel of owning/oweing a car. Maybe they don't need to drive to work on weekday so they choose to buy weekend car just for family outing or whatever during weekend. So weekday mostly park at multi-storey car park so is able to maintain. And also depends on where you drive. As for me,chipped paint work normally happen in weekday working hour cause works in tuas.So many truck,lorry and pickup moving around. If work in city area,chances of chipped paintwork is lower. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current coe rebate for opc also not worth it.... 17k only. If they give 40k....maybe i will also switch over Edited March 25, 2017 by Ceribro101 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya there is no escaping chipped paint if you drive. Even if you say you managed to avoid every single stone on the road, some truck driving past next to you gives no shit about your paintwork and will happily throw stones up at your car. I got my sideskirt chipped and I'll never know if it was a stone thrown up from my own front wheel or somebody next to me 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leehock13828 2nd Gear March 25, 2017 Share March 25, 2017 Even can eacape chips, there is no way to avoid door dent. Moreover washing car will sometimes result in very very fine scratches in the paintwork. I strongly doubt any cars in Spore can have perfect paintwork.

Already got 1 dent, 3 chip-offs. 2 ugly 2cm scratches, and watermarks all over the shop. (and I wash every week) Oh well. Part and parcel of parking in hot sun and rain since no sheltered car park.

I can drive up to 300km on weekends (nv go msia lol) Give me $10k or $17k no diff. It's the lifestyle requirement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPS is a protective coat over car paintwork and car still subject to other factors practically. Wonder worthwhile to apply PPS ....... 10 years EOL most will scrap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbluepica 2nd Gear March 26, 2017 Share March 26, 2017 Traditional wax or sealant package still better than Pps.Traditional wax will wear off quickly over washes and rain. Ideally wax every 6months. Pps act as a permanent wax solution which won't wear out so quickly. If you do up your sums, a PPS with 3-5 years warranty cost the same as traditional wax if wax every 6 months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy to get front bumper or bonnet chipped from the back wheel of front vehicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So save the money and wax regularly is more worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So save the money and wax regularly is more worth. Regular waxing cost about $150 per session. In 3 years need to wax 6 times = $900. Which is the same as pps with 3 years warranty against any watermarks, scratches, they will remove or re-polish foc. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
