Applied Wash and wax from Formula 1

1) First wiped the dust with duster.
2) Then washed the car with plain water with help microfibre cloth.
3) Then applied 25ml of Formula 1 wash and wax in bucket full of water with help of another microfibre cloth.
4) After cleaning then again washed the car with plain water.
5) Then used a micro-hand gloves cleaner to dry and polishing the car fully.
You have already seen the result
Thank you

The gloves are available at D-mart for Rs.39.
Just for information sakes.
I would Say better research in mall stores than online for such small products.

yes.
wash and wax is single product bro.
after posting that question to you, i was going thru some thread and there i found a product which reads WASH and WAX. I think I should get one. In that case dont you need any waxing? I thought waxing shines when we rub it repeatedly. Am i right?

WASH + WAX kind of products are more or less for washing only and have subtle hints of wax in them. For best results always use a separate wax for that liquid metal shine.

Hey,

I am planning to buy Alto 800 in Frost Blue color but I had a question about seating.

Can three adults sit at the back seat in this car.
Most of the reviews I read says its a 4 seater car but I wanted to know from a owner of this car if three people can sit at the rear seat.

Its 5 seater car as per written in Registration smart card.
3 Average sized person can seat comfortably at Rear because of good head and leg room

Try for maroon or Caribbean blue color, looks good in the car.

.

Well its literally a four seater, the only thing which puts the middle row passenger off is the console box which intrudes into the cabin thus making 3 people to sit uncomfortably.

I have checked this and it is a 5 seater and 3 people can sit in the rear very easily with very good head and leg room. Ofcourse it depends on the size of those 3 people[lol]

That is the point Mr. RK. even my sparky is 5 seater. But three adults can manage [I had once all my friends in it and we made a shorter fellow to sit in middle of rear seat].

But we went in Indigo once and found that the rear is really 3 seater. Including myself three adults sit on the rear seat comfortably [Since i have put myself in this case you should consider it properly hehehe]

Btw. saw this on facebook. Pretty neat I would say.

You would get much better art-leather seat covers stitched somewhere else, the fitting looks loosened and not perfect, even with those speakers in the boot door. It isn't placed properly, i would suggest you to fix a plank and plonk your speakers for better SQ.
