Duster & Silicon Spray

Encountered the infamous "window-auto-wind-up-halfway-and-wind-back-down" problem recently and went in search for a solution. Through the forum, found out that there's a spray from Waxco that was highly recommended.
Visited Autobacs and after a long search, did managed to find the Waxco. However decided to got for Getft instead cos it's cheaper and has a smaller volume. Seriously don't need I need that much amount...



Also got a duster to help get rid of all the road dust that's always accumulating at the rear bumper.



Getft Silicon Spray - S$7.50
Duster - S$7.50
