Anyone can be a 'sifu' if you do some homework in the net. I am a long-
time hardcore meguiar's fans. If you abide to the the '5-step Paint Care
Cycle", I think your paint should be safe for at least the next ten years.

Or

Try out the free car prescription at

I am in no way associate to Meguiar's. It is just that I have been using
their product for more than 5 years and totally happy with it. Price on
the high side....but IMHO, worth every single penny/sen.

Thank you.

Hi ZhaoYun, kindly note my comments constructively & do welcome your
active participation here in this forum.

Per your comments that anyone can be a "sifu" by doing some homework via
the internet - Sorry that I have to disagree with you on this point.

I have personally met up with some of the forum members here and have
seen their detail jobs - PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. Believe that credit should be
given to those who really excel in this art & at least they have proven
themselves that they are capable.

For the record, I for one do not consider myself a "sifu" at all (other
than HotRod claiming me to be one) but maybe a more skilled enthusiasts.

It is with these open discussions that we hope to learn from each other
about successes & mistakes so that the community can grow progressively.

I hope to meet up with you one of these days for a chat & cup of tea.

HotRod - sorry bro, not trying to dish out at you. Thanks for the
confidence but I'm no where at that level yet. See you in Penang in a few
hours time or tomorrow.

In the mean time, everybody please enjoy the discussions in the forum.
