There are lot of choice from Keepre. Which plan did you take? seems they are even more costly than Glare.

Dont join any of their plans, its useless, although i am their customer aswell but just for washing (only when i am not free)
The thing that they use just the normal sealant, but they just give it a better name.

So why should you spend 3K for something cost 150HKD??
Its just waste your time and money :thumbsdown:

Maybe you just do the waxing and not polishing.
Many people are confused with polishing and waxing.

Polishing (Contains mild abrasive agents which can remove swirls/light scratches and gives a mirror like surface) -->Must be done by machine
Waxing (Giving a protection coat to the paintwork) --> Done by hand

The most expensive wax will do "nothing" unless it has a good prep work (Polishing)

yes, Kee pre and others are of no real use, do you think they can "invent" something that all those car companies and chemical companies have been trying to do??

only a new clearcoat can give that new looking shine, re-spray the parts exposed to stone chips and wear and tear instead.
i only use Wilson because i'm too lazy to vac and wax myself.
thanks to Keith for your pro tips!

Because mY car is silver, i went for their "white package" and also joined the membership so i paid less than $2000 and ive got full wax and interior clean plus a further 5 times cleaning....

Same with Bill, i am too lazy to do it myself but i think Keepre is better than CARS or the other car wash companies in the multi storey car parks!

Keepre is good compared to the others, at least i trust them and let them wash my car.

We have so many supercars here in HK but no one seems to know what is car detailing, we are far far behind in this aspect.
I will definitely get this business started if i have the spare money..
