Think it’s mostly ceramic coating in JB area, usually cost over RM1000. Glass coating can go sg and do for about sgd 300.How much roughly price for a good glass coating?
No need coating la, too expensive. Just polish and wax once every 3 months, and wash the car every week should be fine.Yeah, i guess so. never really care about car paint before. but this time, need to pay some attention. How to maintain it? Coating?
The power of the Toyota brand cannot be underestimated. :lol:Brilliant choice bro. Just saw UMW Toyota tease the “all new” Camry. Carry over old 2.5L 4 pot engine.
Your V6 engine with rear wheel drive makes the X look like a damn good bargain.
Can’t believe still got idiots buy new cars from UMW Toyota.
I had once heard, some people said they would not send to carwash frequently because the soap used somehow strong to make your car shiny but maybe in the long run will fade the paint.

yeah.. i choose mark x becoz it has a lil bit of everything. engine is not the most powerful, but enough. design not winning any award but make me wana look it everytime (once parked, while walking away, will look back once), japan made eventhough not new, and the best thing is, it is rear wheel drive. other things/accessories you can add, but not rear wheel drive.Brilliant choice bro.

I think in D-segment, smoothness is important, so a V6 will always beat a 4 cylinder, always. No inline 6 engine exists in this price range so V6 is the next best choice. Plus its a rear wheel drive, better dynamics since the driven wheel isn't used to steer.yeah.. i choose mark x becoz it has a lil bit of everything. engine is not the most powerful, but enough. design not winning any award but make me wana look it everytime (once parked, while walking away, will look back once), japan made eventhough not new, and the best thing is, it is rear wheel drive. other things/accessories you can add, but not rear wheel drive.
just have the chance to drove it JB-KL last weekend, really nice and satisfied. I think i made a right choice.
thanks bro. so, what's your choice/shortlisted cars? if you can shareI think in D-segment, smoothness is important, so a V6 will always beat a 4 cylinder, always.

It was one of the cars I shortlisted as well, but I needed more power. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
For the general car buying public (read : non car people) newer is ALWAYS better.Brilliant choice bro. Just saw UMW Toyota tease the “all new” Camry. Carry over old 2.5L 4 pot engine.

Toyota Camry Hybrid 2.5thanks bro. so, what's your choice/shortlisted cars? if you can share
Which is why I mentioned UMW Toyota specifically, in their entire lineup other than the Toyota Camry Hybrid, the rest are utter rubbish. The CH-R is like poverty spec, no HID/LED, no adaptive cruise/auto brake, seriously... for the premium it commands over its segment peers. The Altis vs Mazda 3/Civic hahahaha, the Vios vs City.. etc.For the general car buying public (read : non car people) newer is ALWAYS better.
If you send to the car wash shops out there who use those unknown car shampoos or "snow wash" types, you better budget for a paint job in about 3-5 years. You need paint friendly car shampoo otherwise it'll just eat at the clear coat and the UV from the sun kills your paint colour.I had once heard, some people said they would not send to carwash frequently because the soap used somehow strong to make your car shiny but maybe in the long run will fade the paint. Is it true?
Yeah, i also think maybe no coating la. polish and wax once in 3 months looks reasonable.
Not only the shampoo but also the washing method. If you see them wash/sponge the shampoo on your car from top to bottom to top again, you need to find another shop. This is because the bottom have the most dirt and dirt stuck to the sponge goes back up means yours paint will have swirls. They need to rinse the sponge before using it on the top again.....lolI had once heard, some people said they would not send to carwash frequently because the soap used somehow strong to make your car shiny but maybe in the long run will fade the paint.

Yup, polishing and waxing every 3 months is good enough. Much cheaper option than the coating option and works as well.I had once heard, some people said they would not send to carwash frequently because the soap used somehow strong to make your car shiny but maybe in the long run will fade the paint.

Typically the jet spray should be able to loosen most of the dirt and then they spray the soap “snow wash” which will further loosen any dirt stuck. If they are using better quality sponge, it shouldn’t be that bad too. I haven’t seen any car wash place rinse their sponge in between a wash but definitely the sponge used to clean the rims and car body has to be different.Not only the shampoo but also the washing method.

Also polish and wax 3 months. The polish part should be paint cleaning and not compound polishing. If do compound polishing the clear coat will become thinner....
