Many would question, whether it is necessary to buy travel insurance as it is an additional expense to a trip. However, there are times when unexpected incident arises during your travel, be it business trip or a vacation and this is where Travel Insurance will provide assistance in times of need.

Besides covering inconveniences such as loss of luggage and flight delay or cancellation, travel insurance is essential to protect yourself from the high cost of medical care overseas, and for getting help in a foreign country.

For example, a comprehensive travel insurance can offer:

reimbursement of up to RM300,000 for medical / surgical or hospitalization charges incurred overseas
reimbursement for follow up treatment in Malaysia
reimbursement of actual expenses for accommodation, communication, economy class air fare, travel expenses and meals incurred by one (1) relative due to hospitalization of insured person
free 24-hour worldwide travel assistance:
pre-travel advice on visa and vaccination requirements
medical assistance in an emergency or if an evacuation or repatriation is required
travel assistance pertaining to lost luggage, passports, money and credit cards.

Therefore, it is important that you read, understand and check the terms and conditions of a travel insurance policy before you purchase, to ensure you and your loved ones are adequately protected during your travel journey.

Another mineral grey BMW came up on the job sheet. Seems like a BMW 1 series month this round. The best part, they have 2 of the same car! Check out our progress. Read on…

Upon arrival, the car was in rather dirty and dusty state. Being merely 1 week old, its pretty normal to see cars in this state.

Dirt and sand found on the rear hatch is the common sight.

The condition of the car was pretty much flawless with just some minor damages. This was one of it. Light swirls can be seen on the right of the LED.

On another spot, u can see slightly heavier swirl damage, but on the entire car we only spotted 2 of such spots.

As the weather was getting very very hot on this day, we speed up the process but had not documented the washing, claying and light tar removal.
On the paint correction, we manage to remove all of the damages as well. Here are some close ups.

On another section.

Being able to confirm the car had zero swirls left to correct, we washed down the car and got the surface ready for the final coating application.

Finally, we applied the Opti-Coat Pro paint protection coating onto the paint, by this time the sun was setting and here are the glossy, wet looking outcome.

Some may feel disgusted on this ride as its based on a BMW F30 3 series while having no “butt”. Being a hatchback, it might not be as popular as the sedan BMWs, but in our eyes, all cars had their beauty and we do not have any prejudice on any cars, except maybe a Fiat Multipla XD. On the coming series, we will be covering a few on these BMW 1 series. So stay tuned.

Early in the morning, the client actually drove his ride to our place, after a brief engine cool down until the bonnet was not hot and the brakes were cooled down we moved on to doing the regular walk around to spot for obvious damages.

First impressions on the painted surface, there was this weird smudge which looked like oil but could not be rubbed off.

The rear had some “leaks”. Overflowing anti rust materials might be the cause of these, its rather common on BMWs.

Some watermarks stains was spotted on the windscreen.

Coming onto the the condition of the paint, we found hologram marks.

The sun was out so its a great opportunity to get some sun shots, obviously there were swirls on the paint too.

We suspected a cheap polish job was done since there was holograms on the paint, but this was next level. We call this pigtail damage. These form of damage is from having sand or hardened polishing compound on the pads. When used on the paint, it will cause damages like this.

Copming back to the smudge, there were also swirls.

On the rear bumper we spot some rather severe scratches and holograms. A poor attempt to polish off damage it seems.

First we tackled the lighter damages on the bonnet, which in this case was the swirls and smudge.

The sun actually confirmed our flawless finish.

On another section of the bonnet. Swirls corrected.

Remember we mentioned the pigtail damages. We were only able to reduce it to a less visible state.

On other sections, swirls are no more.

If you look closely, there is 1 light scratch just on top of the sun towards the right, that was 1 tough scratch to remove, hence we wouldn’t risk burning thought the paint for that.

The poor attempt to remove damage on the rear bumper was sorted.

As night fell, we got some closer shots on the paint to double confirm the paint condition.

Final finishing on the paint and we’re ready for the coating to be applied.

Before we finish, due to the heavy amount of dust residue from the cutting and paint restoration, another detailed wash, done.

Final shots we as usual, from a 12MP phone camera. No edits, no adobe lightroom to adjust, just a pure point and shoot. Enjoy the gloss, correctly done paint restoration, surface preperation and coating application.
