To Meguiar's Malaysia
Hi Meguiar's,
It all started when I was looking for a good leather seats cleaner and
conditioner for my Proton Perdana V6. I heard how good Meguiar's
products are and came across Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner
& Conditioner. I think my Perdana deserves it, so I bought it. It was
the only Meguiar's product which I used since 2004, and used
regularly.
In 2007, I sat in another 2004 Perdana V6 and noticed how well I have
maintained my leather seats with Meguiar's. My seats still shining
like new with no visible cracks and clean.
In 2008, I purchased a reconditioned MPV from Japan, a 2003 Toyota
Ipsum. The dealer gave me a fresh coating of paint - solid black. I
noticed that the Garage which did the re-spray uses Meguiar's to prep
all cars for delivery. The car was delivered to me free from swirl.
With an aim of maintaining it, I purchased Meguiar's Shine Microfibre
Towel to rinse the car after every wash. I am still not wanting to
spend more than my limit (RM60 per purchase). I bought third party
wax, carpet cleaners, everything.
Soon, I realized even with great care (two buckets system, etc), I
cannot prevent minor swirls from making their appearance on the paint.
I started reading on the web and found out about Meguiar's NXT Tech
Wax 2.0 which is said to be a good synthetic wax which can help
removing minor swirl.
I went to Eunos 1Utama to look for it. Boy, RM128 is definitely not
cheap for a can of wax. But I quickly remind myself about my Perdana
leather seats. I didn't think it was cheap when I first purchased it,
but it delivers back what I paid for. I bought the NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Paste together with Meguiar's Quick Detailer for claying compound.
It didn't take me long to complete the Ipsum. I wash, clay the
paintwork and apply a layer of NXT 2.0.
I am really satisfied with the result. The black is now deeper, and
free from minor swirls.
The Ipsum looks exactly like when it first came out from the Garage
except a better looking alloys because I have clayed it!
Now, I'm waiting for the free Meguiar's Ultimate Wipe microfibre
detailing cloths, hopefully.

Update
It was RM150 well spent. The Ipsum is more comfortable and relaxing to drive. The engine's screaming is less heard from the cabin.
I was driving at higher speed without noticing.

Sound deadening for the front hood
After long overdue, yesterday the Ipsum is installed with an alarm system. The system consists a shock sensor, 2 transponders and wires. The shock sensor's sensitiveness can be personally set to my taste. Yet to do it.
The Ipsum now auto-lock itself upon engine starts and auto un-lock when the engine is turned off.
The front hood received a cover (no cover prior to this). Reason - I don't want too much heat on the hood's paint. The cover also resulted in a more steady hood. It is now felt more solid. I feel it is now a bit quieter. Damage - RM150 for the cover.
