Paint Protection CS-II

When CS-II was first done on the car, I can feel the smoothness.

Now, after a week or so later and I washed the car with the 2 bottles of solutions given by CS-II, the smoothness is not that intense anymore. Or rather not as smooth as the first ime.

Do you have the same experience ?

Can I apply other 3rd party wax after washing ?

get the Aquawax from maddetailing under the advert thread...after car wash, just spray and wipe...pretty good stuff....

Bro, you are not supposed to wax your car after doing CS-II. Why don't you go down for their preservation spa wash @$10 and see how they apply the preservation solution during washing. Cheers.

Thanks for the advise. I didn't apply anything except using the 2 solutions given by Unique, the company at Ubi that did the CS-II.

I just missed the "silky smooth" touch when the car was first treated with CS-II.

I had the same experience with my current ride (Impreza). After using their solution, it just doesn't feel the same. Hence I gave up using their solution and just go for their car wash. It will restore it back to the same silky smooth feeling.

However, like I mentioned in other threads, the waiting time for a car wash can be a killer.

I suppose the instructions they give for the preservation wash solution is not good enough? Perhaps a stronger concentration will do the trick. But I didn't do it, and I won't be doing it anymore. Waiting for my new ride, and dun think will be applying CS-II to it.

Still got a new bottle of preservation wash and a half used one. Anyone interested to take them off?

hhmm so would you recommend CS-II?

I would definitely recommend it for people who
1. likes the silky smooth feeling on the car (it really feels good! ),
2. lives near Ubi/East of Singapore, and
3. wash your own cars/don't mind the long wait for car wash.

I belong to only number 1. And I live in the West, so waiting for a car wash from 5pm till 6plus before washing is a big deterrence due to PIE being jammed during the peak hour. A clean car will become dirty once you reach home.

My worst waiting time was from 5.30pm till 8pm. That was the ultimate wait. On bad days, they have only 1 person to wash cars while others are doing the CS-II to other cars, even after 5pm. So customers who are there for the car wash only will be sacrificed. Good service hence many people have gone for it. So this in turn made it harder for people to go for car wash.

The last time I went there (perhaps 2-3 months ago?), I was turned away at 2 of their outlets because they were still applying the CS-II to other cars. The only outlet washing was their newest one. But there were already 4 cars in front of me. Estimate it would be 6plus before they can start with my car. So I drove off and went to a nearby petrol station to wash. S$7 bucks with no perservation wash. Since my ride is changing soon, I have decided to let the CS-II layer go.

Anyway, if you fulfil the 3 criteria, I guess CS-II will be good. many will tell you the positive thing about CS-II. I just happen to tell you the more negative part.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether you want the teflon layer. I repeat, one thing is confirmed - the layer REALLY feels good!

I also reside in the west, the smooth layer loses its smoothness after one week? Like the TS mentioned, or he wash salah already

best is to wash ur self longbow, feel my car tomorrow, got the kuk kuk feel and touch....

Not sure if the silky smooth feeling is like the Autoglym feeling... but the Autoglym feeling is actually because the wax is oil based.

After a couple of washes...

Well... that... feeling... juz... isn't... the... same...........

Err.. correct me if im wrong.. after doing CSII.. ur paintworks is "protected" but an extra layer of protection.. i.e. if got bird **** etc on ur car.. the toxic will not "eats" into ur paint works so easily..

My experience is.. b4 CSII.. i used to have some dirts.. bird **** etc.. even after i washed away.. i noticed some already starts to stain the paint (btw mine is white so can easily see the stain) so i really gotto srcub it off..

After CSII, there are no stains (so far) on the car, i just need to clean it off with some water.. of cos i missed the silky feeling.. but i knew tat is not going to last cos its only temporary after they applied the system... i tried washing last friday using they solutions.. not as good but got a bit of silky feeling lah..

Good thing is i stay very near Ubi and piece of advise.. dun go there n try ur luck.. u can book ur slot first b4 going down 4 car wash...

go on sunday better.... they are open too

Ok, just to share fellow members who did CS-II. Their shop at Blk 3032A is open for car washing the whole day. No need to book cause its first come first serve. I've ever wash car there at around 3+ in the afternoon. The other outlet only do washing after 7. And try to see how they apply the preservation solution. Cause I applied the wrong way.. He..he..

Ok now you know, don't tell anyone

TS, not sure how you wash ur car... For me, first two washes i just use plain water still able to remove the dirt easily.. 3rd wash I use theirs solution but i find the "shampoo" like CMI, macham like no foam.. haha.. Normally I don't wash my car under hot sun or immediately wash my car after a long drive.. It is best to always wash car in cool state...

To book a not is pretty much individual lah.. just tat i met this honda civic guy when i sent in for CS2 treatment.. he is staying in tampines and he told me he always book just in case he came all the way down and have to wait long long..
i think the shampoo is like tat.. i suspect strong shampoo is not good for the coating.. the CS2 lady actually advice me if going to do car wash at petrol station, remind the fellow to dilute the shampoo if possible.. anyway just follow the instruction given by CS2 if u guys doing car wash urseft.. the instruction there is pretty clear..

Just did my CS II recently. Gonna wash my car tomorrow and will feedback if any.

Normally will not lose te smoothness after one week. It will deteriorate with time. I remember Sherine saying not to use Wash and Wax type of shampoo. Perhaps TS used the mentioned shampoo?

Now that we mention about calling down to make a booking for car wash, I have 2 encounters:

1. I called at 4.15pm to try to book an appointment for the wash at 5pm, hoping to get the 1st spot. The lady who answered (not Sherine) said, "No, no! You cannot book now! You can only book at 4.45pm. Call back at 4.45pm."
Me: "I call now, or call at 4.45pm. What's the difference?"
Lady: " Cannot! You can only book at 4.45pm."

Ok, fine. So I called them at 4.45pm, and the same lady asid I'm the third car. I was like WTF!!?? Anyway, I just went down and managed to wash it. I highlighted to Sherine when I arrived. She said they only accept calls at 4.45pm, so I accepted her explanation.

2. Another time, I called them at 4.45pm, and another lady (or it might be the same lady) picked up.
Lady: You cannot book now. You can only book at 5pm.
Me: What!? Last time I called, you all said call at 4.45pm. Now I call at 4.45pm, you say call at 5pm.
Lady: You can only book at 5pm. We only wash car at 5pm.
Me: Last time Sherine said to call at 4.45pm to make the booking.
Lady: You can only book and wash your car at 5pm.

Feeling pissed, I hung up straightaway.

Have to say, I have quite a few not-so-happy encounters with their service staff through the phone, but nothing against them when I manage to wash my car. The only unhappy thing will only be the time of washing if you're the 3rd car onwards. It can be fast if they have many staff washing. But if there's only one, then it's happy waiting time.

The worse, of course, is raining after you wash your car. That one is really waste money and heart pain. And the worst thing is that you cannot do anything about it.

This is funny!

Eh, why nobody read my earlier post.

Their shop at Blk 3032A is open for car washing the whole day. No need to book cause its first come first serve.

The outlet at Blk 3031A will usually do PPS and ONLY when they have finished doing PPS then they will start washing after 7.

For booking it is known that the max allowance is 15 min before washing.

Hope this helps. Cheers.

Got it, bro. Twice.

But gotta think of this, bro. The all-day washing benefits those who are not working, or are doing odd hours. Most of the people knock off at 5pm, 5.30pm, etc. will still encounter the problems highlighted by me.

And for the 15 mins max allowance before washing is definitely something very new to me, since there was no such thing the last time I was there back in May.

So how does this work? Call 15 mins before your wash? Book 15 mins in advance before your car reaches? I'm quite confused about this.

i got this paint protection services thru my SE. He told me, after applying it, it a 10 yrs warranty.and everytime servicing of the paint protection is free. Its at amk. They also did the corrotex too. As of now, I dont have further details coz all the info is kept im my car.Will update soon.

Wah!!! Got so good!!?? 10 years and free servicing of the PPS???

Almost too good to be true. Will camp here for your update.

Mmm.. CS2 staff never inform me abt their 15 mins rule for booking when i did mine 2 wks ago oso..
I think the oulet at 3016A oso wash cars...cos i met the honda civic guy who was washing his car there while i sent mine in for treatment..

wah boardrider02, update us on the details of the pps that provides 10yrs warranty soon.

I think other outlets will start their car wash when they finish their CS-II application to their scheduled vehicles. So if one is lucky, one can reach an outlet that has finished their work and do the car wash straighaway.

Bros, I got this 15 min allowance from other forum. You suppose to book 15mins before you go down.

I'm sharing my lobang that the outlet at Blk 3032A do whole day washing cause I try to book car wash at Blk 3031A(where I did my PPS) they asked me to go to Blk 3032A. The outlet at Blk 3031A not keen to do car wash cause sometimes they cannot finish doing PPS even after 7.

The 15 mins booking allowance cannot be trusted one, cause they operate on first come first serve basis. Hence even if you book 15 mins before the car wash start time, if any car arrive before you then that car will be washed first. hope this helps. Cheers..

Bro I think I know which company you are refering to. Surf the net for feedback. MCF forum is a good start before you decide to take up that offer....

I've also had experiences where I'm the 2nd car to reach at 5-5.15pm. But when I went to the counter, the lady told me I'm the 4th car. So by the time the 1st car finished washing, the 2nd and 3rd car also come liao. So LL gotta wait.

Of course, I've had the experienced of being the first car to be washed even though I reached at close to 5.30pm. Luck, I guess. I have most of the bad ones.

Anyway, currently still considering deeply whether to do the CS-II PPS or not. The weighing of the pros and cons is not easy.

gng to give my baby the CS-II car wash later! to lazy to do it myself.. I call and got a slot immediately, just very sleepy now..haha
lazy bug hit me real bad.

Can check it out here.

Sun tan lotion as lubrication? Never tried before...

Must ask Bro lukester how effective was it...

very sticky, cannot lubricate.

i am using amorail's it's clean liao, but think the sun tan lotion stripped off some of the dye from the leather.

Wah, speaking from experience ah?

Are you using Armourall's Leather Conditioner? I have that one. Can only help restore the shine and make the leather shiny and slippery.

Hmm, I seem to recall CS-II having some car leather treatment packages. Maybe can try it?

its supposed to have some cleaning capabilities.
not sure, but now it looks pretty decent. so still happy with it.
