Hello greetings to all!!!

I'm farid and coming 25 and from brunei (asia) and i cant stop coming back in here to find out more about detaling cars.

I thought i knew it all but i was completely wrong. There`s more to it than just washing and polishing.... But where i live there`s soo little products, and the only one i that i`ve been using is autoglym...

But here it`s a totally different world!!! and i love it!!!!!

Thanks for the founders of AUTOPIA!!!! u made my passion more than what it was before!! thanks again!!

Farid. So glad you found Autopia. Yes, we are completely nuts about cars. I have learned so much on this forum!

Now ... I'll show my ignorance. Where is Brunei?

Farid,

Welcome!!!

I live in Manila, Philippines.

Since our country is somewhat "americanized" than your country, we have several products available here that is somewhat popular in the USA like Meguiars, Mothers, Eagle One and Turtle Wax... but we still do not have those top of the line products like Klasse, Zaino available localy thus, we need to pay a very expensive shipping cost just to get the product... Don't be discourage by this... fine products like Klasse, Zaino etc. is worth the cost...



Lynn,

Brunei is in South East Asia situated near Indonesia, Guam and New Zealand Brunei is one of those rich countries in the world that has a lot of oil deposits.

Farid,

If you need some products that is available here in the Philippines, I can help you get it and ship it to Brunei. I think it will be cheaper to come from here than coming from the USA.

Like I have said we, have the following brands here;

Meguiars
Mothers
Eagle One
Turtlewax
Autoglym
Valugard
Soft99 (Unknown to USA but very good line of products from Japan)


Just email me at jaim@www.com.ph

Farid,

Currently, I am using Klasse AIO and Klasse SG.

You may want to see a picture of my hood with 2 Coats of Klasse AIO and 4 coats of Klasse SG

I think, a wax based protection is not appropriate for Asian Vehicles because of weather conditions, specially during the rainy season thus I opted to use an acrylic based protection such as Klasse.

If you have Zaino... that is a great product... though harder to apply that Klasse.

Not quite, it's located in Southeastern Asia, bordering the South China Sea and Malaysia. If you've got a broadband connection watch this video about Brunei Darussalam.

Who would have thought that our love of detailing would also lead us to a renewed interest in world geography? Pretty cool, I think.
