Polish the glass with polisher, apply one coat of sealant (Not wax).
I done my windscreen 2 years ago and still repells water very well

Kee pre is good, but the price they charged are way too high, compared with what they use.
So i only take my car there for car wash when i am not free.

Wow...only seen the Corsa on Ferrari once.
I think your first mod will be the tyres and fix the diff oil leak.
As the rainning season is coming soon

I think about 90% of HK ppl dont know how to handle a supercar :thumbsdown:
997 is much easier to handle than the old 911s too.

Keith - agree that Keepre is a lil on the expensive side but customer service is good and they give me free coffee for when I wait....!! ha ha!!

To be honest, if i had a water source at home, i would prefer to do regular washes at home and only go to a detailer for waxing it etc... but because i dont, then i am happy to pay a bit more for the convenience of going to get it all done for me.

Not sure why, but i trust keepre more than say Glaze or CAR or the other car valeters in those multi storey car parks. Bill, you use CAR dont you? Any comments??
