Will4081 2nd Gear July 3, 2019 Share July 3, 2019 Hi I have notified the bank within 2 weeks of collection of car and gotten the amount (there is no settlement letter though). The bank asked me to pay before 19 JUL. I just reveived the hire purchase order from the bank last few days, saying the first monthly installment would be on 21 Jul. I am not sure after repaying before 19 jul, i still need to pay the first installment or not. The repayment amount o was told to pay seems lower than what i calculated using 78 rule. I assumed the settlement date was slightly after the first installment but in your case you will settle everything first, so no need to pay the first installment As for the early payment fee, they usually don’ Make mistakes... if that’s cheaper than expected just go with it. It should be around 2k ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittychatbox Clutched July 5, 2019 Share July 5, 2019 I drive a 2017 Kia K3 Pearl White and have it coated with PPS on the first day. After driving it for more than 1 year, I went back for PPS maintenance again. but i soon realised it has gotten yellowish. It is align with other K3 i've seen. I've checked with the PPS workshop and they say it is normal for white cars. So i conclude all white color K3 turn yellow after one year no matter got PPS anot. Needless to say, i was disappointed. The whole point in myself getting PPS is to prevent yellowish. I will never believe this PPS shit again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittychatbox Clutched July 5, 2019 Share July 5, 2019 which car saloon you went for the PPS and the product they use? I'd rather not say the name of the shop but i paid like $800 for the first year and $350 for the 2nd year for the ceramic pps. My math tells me just spray paint the car after 5 years would be more worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittychatbox Clutched July 5, 2019 Share July 5, 2019 You were expecting that the PPS coating to prevent the oxidation of the paint? Sorry for my ignorance. Perhaps i was sweet talked by the PPS shop salesman on this "wonderful" PPS thingy. In addition, this is my first white car so i didn't know it will get yellow so quickly. 5 years turn yellow sure. One year turn yellow, wow. Anyway, i'm pointing this out from my perspective. Everyone can have their own opinion on this matter which is why we have a forum for discussion to freely exchange ideas and discuss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the experts can shed some light on this. Edited July 5, 2019 by AntiSin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember - no matter how well maintained your car is, it's not gonna command higher value when you trade it in. And Kia paint work is very thin too. Knock it slightly and lightly against the wall when you open your door gently and the paint chips off. Edited July 5, 2019 by Vinceng 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard from ppl around my circle. I bought graphite grey. Want to go for pps as i heard cleaning will be much easier and just a layer to protect paint from chipping off if hit by passing stones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormee 5th Gear July 6, 2019 Share July 6, 2019 Sorry for my ignorance. Perhaps i was sweet talked by the PPS shop salesman on this "wonderful" PPS thingy.

Everyone can have their own opinion on this matter which is why we have a forum for discussion to freely exchange ideas and discuss. PPS coating is a hydrophobic coating that bonds to your car's original paint. It helps in washing, hard for pollutants to be stuck on it and even if it does, washing would be easier compared to non coated cars. Coating also brings out the car's shine just like waxing. It is however not a super duper coating that you need not wash the car, not scared of acid, paint will stay as it is for years. It is not a super shield hor. Like others said, PPS is over rated. Oh, it is natural for white or pearl white paint to turn yellowish after years. That's the characteristics of white paint under normal circumstances. Unless the white car is kept in a warehouse assuming no lights no air/dust in a vacuum. Then, 1 year later it shoudl stay the same. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the correct type of car wash product to use on cars with such coating: - washes that have wax, commonly called wash & wax - washes that don't have wax ...... or just plain water Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
