My childhood buddy has been asking me to detail his car for a long time, He has been told by many & mostly the northen service center Technical Advisor - that car need to be polished every year, otherwise it has no protection...

Polish for protection - definately is not the truth
the very moment if we allow any thing to rotate or surface comes into contact by certain polishers or compound.. our paint will be definitely get polish off little by little.. very soon we will endangered our clear coat


where most of the paint damages come from our washing instead & not the environment, consistently Technical advisor insisted he must send for a polishing job r.... and often I explained all over again & showed him. so when he came down to KL ...I took my time to show him how to wash - weekly in 20 minutes & wash in another 10 minutes.

and he call me again, saying car now really need to be polished.... what happen to his last Citroen now happen to his new ride ......
