    I am frequently asked .......


    Why do our cars need paint protection? why must opti coat?


    Allow me to elaborate further


    Why not just glass coating? Nano? Flourin? Etcs
    Good point....
    every owner who purchase a new car Would like to do some initial protection...for easier maintenance for days to come
    thus 90 % if the paint damaged by wrong techniques of maintenance


    Therefore it is equally important than the initial coating is prep and installed correctly


    we are at the age of information
    More informations we can handle than any other generations - marketing has became so aggressive - no wonder consumers get more confused!!!!!!!!!




    Allow the picture speaks for itself


    look at this

    how would you reckon - you can clean yr car with what u have? ...... hardly anyone with OTC product can remove these stain - so ended up sending to our roadside (FAB powered) car wash

    Ta ta yr clear coat like this
    even on a brand new 308

    I clean it with

    then I went further to coat the car 3/4

    on the uncoated side - Left side
    [​IMG]






    pay more attention on the Left side - swirls & rids became very visible

    simple conclusion
    better protection = means lesser contamination = means lesser scratches gonna to be inflicted during washing (a coated surface is a tension surface - better repellent) in this case better protection on the coated side

    by this time differences is more define

    see again
    on this very left side (uncoated) very visible scratches can be seen


    as compare with the protected side (it is not so much of an issue)

    simple conclusion
    better protection = means lesser contamination = means lesser scratches gonna to be inflicted during washing (a coated surface is a tension surface - better repellent) in this case better protection on the coated side

    and not just any other coating - glass / Nano / fluorine but one and only living up its name
    hear it from the international detailer..


    ONLY the Detailien are the sole distributor and trained to do it in Malaysia

    Yep, makes me feel good about opti-coating my wife's car recently. My truck sat outside for a year and a half and was only washed 2 or 3 times and still looks great so I figured I'd try it on her garaged car.
