Now, at one of my work place, I have appointed, a guy who charges 600 INR /month, he will clean the exterior with a bucket full of water daily and clean the interiors twice a week.

Bought from Reliance autozone with bill & seems genuine & original. I heard lot of fakes with this brand. BTW Turtle wax is unavailable almost everywhere.

I have to get to work on someday at leisure to try these out.

The second one is an interior spray for Leather seats Vinyl Rubber plastic etc comes in 2-3 fragrances.

~Rs500 for both.

Not A Great Idea To Wash Your Car Daily , It will Dull Out The Finish Very Soon.

Use Quality Wax/Sealant And Good Duster Like Jopasu And Protect Your Car [:)]

Gave it to the washing centre today, it's an automated car washer (Semi-Automatic IMO), the job done was decent and more will be shared on a Separate Thread.

They keep all the products undoubtedly shiny, i still cannot make out the differences between the fake and genuine.

I saw it with my accessory guy, very unsure about its originality though, because i heard they have stopped selling the turtle wax, anybody to rescue us both to get turtle wax?

The second one is an interior spray for Leather seats Vinyl Rubber plastic etc comes in 2-3 fragrances.
I have the same interior spray in citrus fragrance and this product is just great, the shine lasts for 3 weeks at-least and the fragrance ~2 weeks.

I recommend this product strongly, it's cheap and best.

Got the same wax from AutomotiveSoul.com yesterday. Going to dedicate a day sometime this week.

How much is that interior polish?

I used the wax yesterday - gave my car all around external surface polishing after regular washing. Now its natural wax so I am hoping its safest, also the sponge absorbs lot of the wax so you use only in small quantities else in the end you will have lots remaining in the sponge. You need to rub hard & also keep a spare clean cloth for final round.

The interior spray is around ~130 & not used by me yet but Vishwas above says its good. For interiors I was actually looking for something called waxpol visit waxpol.com which was recommended by my car seat cover maker. But instead bought this.

Hello friends,

Bought some stuffs from Purplekart. Very supportive guys and fast shipping.



And the same cannot be said for the big online shopping site, THE Shopclues. Had ordered MUC-OFF UBERSHINE CAR SHAMPOO and order status sucked on "Paid" for a week and when I asked them, they ended up saying no stock and therefore refunding the payment.

Of course it wasn't my first order they canceled but will definitely be my last order on that site. [anger]

Now I have to wait until I get the same from other supplier before I can use the Mothers products

Thanks...
Best Regards

Guys - Forgot to update this thread. The output was awesome and I have posted the pics in another thread. The shining is lasting well and Jopasu Duster makes the daily cleaning much more easier with this waxing.

Moreover, did a long trip to Chennai last week and it didn't get dirty / dusty at all or it would otherwise normally do. Just a wipe away with Jopasu the next day.

Guess, waxing once a month would be a good idea.

@Dr MUDHAN

Yes sir, Detailed Clean India has started to take orders from Christmas day and shipping take place after 6th Jan. [:)]

They got lots of international products and well organized. Poorboys, as the name status, its one of the cheapest and high quality car detailing products out there but our import tax kills the interest on them. Hope they add more cheaper products eventually.

Awaiting for your feedback on the Poorboys product.

Thanks...
Best Regards

Reading on this thread that finding an original turtle wax is difficult because of many duplicate products, I wanted to send the following cleaning products for my dad from US. Am I missing anything, please advice.

Hope all of us owning a car will know the pain of cleaning the interiors, especially the floor carpet. I hate that work! Yet, have no choice.

How do you do it?
Note, disregard the Vacuum Cleaner option. The intention is the make it easier for the ones who do not have access to it.

Here is my experience - Though I have a Vacuum Cleaner at home, I couldn't use it as I stay in apartment and can't pull out power cord from my home, neither would want to use the common electricity. Hence, I used to clean the floor with a cloth, accumulate all dust at a point and try to take them out. The last part is more painful than the entire process, yet not happy to get 100% satisfaction.

Of late, I tried using a brush, a hard one to clean the carpet and it's working well. Also, the stuff we use to pick garbage at home helps well to pick the dusts after accumulating it. Cons, the brush being harder, it make create bobbling in the surface and also the dusts is spread in to the entire cabin while sweeping it. So, I feel, a hand brush, maybe a little softer one that's available in auto accessories shop will do the job well.

Polish for interiors?

This is the worst part in my car too and the worst of all is i have vaccum cleaner at home, but hell all the spares are misplaced and the main pipe is broken(jobless rats), tried contacting the vendor but no luck [frustration]
