[QUOTE="ShowTime, post: 1064069446, member: 116776"] Now now now... recently a lot of people know that how much I been running my words about how good Optimum products are BUT I believe not all of us willing to spend money on something you called a "DAILY MODE OF TRANSPORT". I came across many people I know who, MOST not willing to spend over RM50 for a bottle of wax/sealant. Kinda disappointing but true. Some say just a car or a transport... some say I rather take the money to buy other stuff and just a clean car will do, don't know & don't care what is swirl mark or water spot...reflections...etc. SO to be really honest here I had been testing a LOCAL sealant product that can be bought over the counter like GIANT, TESCO, CARREFOUR hypermarkets... cost around RM20 for a 500ml spray bottle.
