Didn't really do anything really elaborate like extensive correction as its a daily driver. Just wanted to slap on some protection and test out Dodo's coating.
In a nutshell.
1. Great looks
2. Good reflections especially coming from a silver colour.
3. Provide a bright hard shine
4. Durability in Malaysia unknown. But some has said 12 months. Dodo claims 12-24 months
5. Water beading. Unknown as DJ says not to get it wet if possible for 24-72hrs before it cures
6. Water sheeting. As above in No.5
7. Stain resistance. Unknow as yet.
8. Easy of application 6.5/10. Easier than some coatings, similar to others, but not as easy as some.
9. Smell.....Well its not a wax, its a nano ceramic coating and you shouldn't smell the fumes nor handle with bare hands preferably.
10. Might be tricky to apply for persons inexperienced at applying coatings.
11. Might be a bit more tricky to apply or darker colours.
12. Good lighting is a must for buffing to a shine and leveling coating before it flashes and cures hard.
Method I used to prep the car:
1. Wash.
2. Remove tar spots.
3. No clay since machine polishing will remove contaminants and will automatically do some light correction to the paint. (short cut lah.....so don't come and say I missed a step.....or I should clay).
2. Polish with RB+LC Black Pad
3. Polish used Osren Crystal Cut 3.0. Single polishing pass only.
4. Rinse with water to remove all polishing dust.
5. Apply SNIS with MF suede cloth. Foam pad not recommended.
6. Buff to level off coating. Best with MF suede cloth
7. Buff to a shine. Best with MF suede cloth.

You can see nice reflections off the paint and nice silver flakes, but checkout the factory orange peel when you really enlarge the pics of the door and the fender.
I'm not going to bother leveling it as its a daily driver and I couldn't be bothered. Moreover I've leveled the paint for 2 cars and I'm not going to do it for a 3rd.

Yah VR still at it but the difference now is taking shortcuts to get a reasonable finish. Lazy now a day to do the full works.

Fuh! nice. You did not wash the cloth, purposely let it dry up?

Cannot wash lah, moreover I cut the cloth to size. Have to throw away. The cloth looks dirty because after doing paint I used it to coat black plastic panels. Looks good and works well. So will see how long it lasts on plastics. Was told its still coated after 6 months. Now the plastics, wiper arms and rear plastic wipers all coated. Personally so far best bang for the buck coating available locally. Pleased with the outcome, large 50ml bottle and not too difficult to apply. But DO NOT smell the fumes as the bottle gets pressurized when stored.
