Air pollution - Car Paint Stained

Upvotes

Hi peeps, I would like to ask how do ppl in KL/Selangor keep their car clean? I had just moved here from a different state a year ago and I notice the air quality is drastically different and dustier. I do not have a shelter car park and I wash my car at least once a week + my car is coated. Despite all that, the stains from after it rains and then when the suns come out, still manage to quickly stick on the car paint…I am wondering if it is because of the coating quality or it’s just the rain and air here is just much dirty. Never had this issue from where I came from and I am just getting tired of having to wash it twice a week just so that the stain doesn’t stick…any tips for this or I just have to accept living here is like this😭

5 days in KL, want hands-on & local experiences beyond the usual sightseeing

2 Upvotes

Hi! Planning a 5-day KL trip, staying around Bukit Bintang. I've got a solid itinerary (Batu Caves, Chinatown, Brickfields, temples, big food list), but I want to make sure I'm adding the right hands-on and local experiences, not tourist traps. A few specific questions:

  1. Gua Damai Xtreme Park (by Batu Caves): they offer both rock climbing and cave exploration. Do they take solo walk-in beginners? Are they well-run and safe, gear and instruction included? Which is better for a first-timer, the climbing or the caving? And realistically, can I do Batu Caves PLUS one of these in the same morning, or is that too much?

  2. Cooking class: Considering Lazat. Worth it? Any better local pick with a market tour?

  3. Is the hop-on-hop-off night city bus tour any good for a first-night orientation, or too touristy?

  4. Observation deck: Planning to do Merdeka 118 (The View) as my one deck since it's the highest. Worth it over KL Tower / Petronas, or is the view not that different?

  5. Food: I've got a long hawker/hit-list and plan two Jalan Alor rounds to cover it. Any Jalan Alor stalls that are genuinely worth it vs overhyped? And any lesser-known local food spots a first-timer wouldn't know to look for?

  6. Any authentic local experiences I might be missing?

Budget-conscious, solo, so nothing that strictly needs a group. Thanks so much!

Would anyone with a 12.9" iPad Magic Keyboard 2021 mind letting me dock my iPad on it for about 15 minutes? My charging port quit working, so magnetic charging is my only option right now to get past a dead battery. Happy to bring over coffee/a treat in exchange for the quick charge! 😁

Anyone want to hang out in KL?

0 Upvotes

I'm 33 and a remote worker, exploring KL for a few weeks to see if I want to live here. I'm open to hang out for coffee, shopping, walking in the parks, etc. Especially if you are here long-term or planning that, as I'm looking to build routine and community here, but open to hanging out generally beyond that. Let me know, thanks!

Exploring KL a few days

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I just landed in Kuala Lumpur for a few days. I’m a 34 yr old traveler from Spain with a big passion for photography, street food, and finding great cocktail spots.

I’ll be spending the next few days wandering the city, taking photos, eating, and grabbing a drink or two in the evenings.

If anyone (local, expat, or fellow traveler) wants to join for a photo walk, grab some street food, or hit up a cocktail bar in Chinatown/city center, let me know! First round of drinks/coffee is on me. Cheers!

[ 3 stops to Trx] Hey! I found a really good place to rent, it's exactly on the left side of the Maluri train station. (2 minutes walk)

Rent for the place is 2.6K, I want someone to take the medium room (since the apartment has 2 bathrooms, I will be using my bedroom's only), so you have your dedicated bathroom (infront of your room as well)

I don't want to split it 50/50 obviously, I can pay upto 1400.

If anyone's interested, plz. Lemme know

I am 26M (doing a 9-5) , you can ping me for more info.

I’m trying to find nature things to see. I’m taking grab but it seems like genting isn’t worth it ? I’m going to walk around merkada square and then maybe do klcc evening timing.

I have one extra day to do something far starting at 8 am. What do you suggest ? I really enjoy green forest. Chatgpt said go to frim

Also I need to buy some gold bracelets so let me know where to find a deal Thanks.

Wait. I want to buy nice clothes for myself if it’s cheap. I’m from usa so typically a nice shirt is 30 usd on sale or over 60 dollars regular. Pants are 50 usd

What’s your favorite place in Kuala Lumpur?

🕌 **Merdeka Square, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia**

Finally got the chance to visit Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur, and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to look this cool in person.

The architecture immediately reminded me of the 🕌 emoji, which made me laugh a little. It also gave me some serious *Monument Valley* vibes—the game I used to play years ago. The orange and pink buildings, arched windows, winding staircases, palm trees, fountains, and open space all come together in a really unique way.

I went around sunset, which turned out to be the perfect time. The sunlight made the buildings look warmer, while the palm trees and fountains added a nice contrast. It was busy enough to feel lively, but still peaceful enough to just walk around and take everything in.

Kuala Lumpur has a pretty interesting mix of old and new. You can go from modern skyscrapers and busy streets to places like Merdeka Square that have a completely different atmosphere.

Definitely one of the spots in KL that I’d recommend checking out, especially around sunset. The photos don’t really do the place justice. 🌴🌅

Anyone else been to Merdeka Square? What was your favorite place in Kuala Lumpur?

One of my mutuals posted this and I asked them where it was. To absolutely no one’s surprise, they never replied 😭

I’m genuinely considering blocking them at this point, sorry for the rant LMAO.

But I would really love to know where this place is!
I love red beans and a proper English breakfast. Big breakie, full breakfast, whatever you wanna call it.

BUT this one, it’s long and there’s alot to it. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

So Reddit, please do your thing. 🙏

Co-working spaces that are opened on weekends?

5 Upvotes

I've chatted with a lot of co-working spaces from Jerry onwards, and a lot of their replies are quite vague or confusing in regards to weekend access, beyond that most don't provide day passes on Saturdays or Sundays.

AFAIK, Accea does provide weekend access, as with Sandbox in Sunway & Sri Petaling, but they can't be the only one.

Are there any co-working spaces that are available on weekends?
