I have been using Formula 1 since years, this time i used Eagel 1 and i was not very happy, it give a instant shine but not like Formula 1. I would recommend Formula 1. It takes a lot of effort to apply the wax and then to remove but the results are too good.

Please give me online link to buy product to clean by beige interiors of dezire and also dashboard
I do not think it is beige interior specific. I wonder if there is one anyway. I have not come across it until now.

I’m considering to place an order for Turtle Wax. Just wondering if there is another better option in similar range (Except Formula 1)?

hi friends, i'm owning Black Aria now.

I have
1. Amway Car Wash
2. Amway Car Polish
3. EuroClean Strome washer
4. Glove mits

I ordered thru FutureBazaar,
1. Formula1 Carnauba Wash& Wax Shampoo
2. Formula 1 Spray Wax

I'm little bit confused with Amway car polish with normal wax.

My car dealer gave me a offer as "Paint Coating" (as shown in the bill). I think it between 2.3K to 3K. I'm not sure. They telling that it has one year warranty, then can avail another 2 touchup after that. I'm not sure what thay applied on my car. Should/Can i apply a wax over it? Or should i go for some other coat before i go for wax.

Amway car wash giving very nice result. But its not producing more foam when i use thru my car washer spray (EuroClean Strome). So i'm planning to replace it with Formula1 Wash and Wax, then apply Formula1 Spray wax.

I'm using bore-well hard water (very much hard) now. I'm planning to keep a small tank in first floor with AquaGuard water or purchased drinking water (25ltr) and connect it to my washer jet thru a hose. Anyone know any water softener to use with hardwater?

I have used amway car wash and it gives a nice clean
the main factor is not the car wash liquid company
but it should apply and come out easily
other than that few cheaper options also available in the market.
for polish I check with my denter painter who does the job well

Is it Teflon Coating?

Should/Can i apply a wax over it? Or should i go for some other coat before i go for wax.
I don’t think it would be an issue but waxing is not required if the car already has Teflon coat.

Jopasu brand offers a microfiber cloth at Rs.200. You might want to learn more here.

Oh. ok. I have ordered online,
1. Turtle Wax- Super Hard Shell Paste Wax - 260 Rs including shipping
2. Soft Microfiber Car Cleaning Duster - 249 Rs
3. X-STATIC MICROFIBER : PREMIUM MICROFIBER TOWEL 50 x 70cm - 180 Rs x 2
4. Formula1 Carnauba Wash& Wax Shampoo473ml - 215 Rs
5. Formula 1 Spray Wax - 475 ml - 361 Rs.

I'm planning to

3. Then apply Spray wax (on each wash)

I hope i can follow this way. I'm washing my car once in a week using EuroClean Strome washer.

> Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Paste Wax

> Waxpol Car Vinyl Leather and Dashboard Polish

> Armor All Tyre Foam Protectant Cleaner & Polisher

You ordered them from which website? I too placed an online order and bought Turtle Wax for Rs.238. It is also available for Rs.230 on eBay.

3. Then apply Spray wax (on each wash)
Waxing after each wash is not required once the paste wax is applied. It lasts for maximum 1.5 – 2 Months.

Turtle wax price is 230 on ebay only for delhi. +30 for shipping to my state.
So i can use the spray wax once in a month after wash right?
Should i remove the old wax before apply new wax? If yes, which product can i use to remove it?

Is there any spray available to use each after wash for final touchup and remove water marks.?

Am using Meguiars NXT Car Shampoo ,its a pretty decent product.
Howmuch it cost you?

Great. Can you please explain the details of each product? I think first 2 for same purpose. The last one for final touchup after each wash? and can you let me know the price?
