We travel our way to Penang Island for this sweet ride over the weekend. Brand new and fresh from the oven, the owner couldn't wait to get it fully protected. Unfortunately, the surface condition was not as "New" as he expected. Read on and find out how bad it is.

Upon arrival, the routine walk around inspection was done, overall the car just looks dirty and needed a wash. But that's the thing with white colour cars.

The surface was covered in rain stains, dust and sand.

The typical road grime after a week of driving.

We also found some light watermark issues on the paint surface.

One of the panel was exposed to the sun, we found severe hologram issues on the paint.

We found a tree sap stain that was bonded to the paint as well. This is why we recommend our clients to avoid parking under a tree.


Moving to the paint correction, we did a detailed wash for the car. Areas like these were not spared.

Moving to the paint correction, Hologram damage before.

Hologram damage after.

Hologram damage after. We tried to remove the tree sap stain as well but only managed to reduce it.

Paint restored to damage free condition.

The paint is near flawless after the paint correction stage, its ready to be coated now.
