it costs RM1700
If u wan to coat ur car usually d shop wil polish it 1st anyway to rid of d roughness n debris that has accumulated on d paint...but I x think wax is necessary coz it's gonna be coated anyway...

For 1.7k u cld have gotten a good brand like DuPont (tho I'm x sure what brand they used)...

i think its minimal, can be sorted out easily. but i'm thinking of where and who to trust with my car to polish wax and do some coating as well

That's a nice shade of grey!
Agreed...looks good too...gun metal grey?
thanks chris, fazidk. its not gunmetal grey, it is called Grigio Medio which simply means medium grey. its from older generations of Ferraris.

Could be some overspray which can be settle by claying, but have to see to tell what it is.

For me, I would rather do weekly wash and 3 monthly / half yearly polish/wax, depending on your time.
Even with coating you will still need to do some maintenance. Spray on clear coat can also get damaged, what do you think a super thin coat of coating can do?
