How Do You Clean Your Car?

[ameyam]

Use the duster to remove the fine dust as much as possible, then use the microfiber cloth to do final cleaning


If your windscreen shows pollution marks or is not getting cleaned with the wiper, pour 3m shampoo direct on to it and rub down with a wet sponge. I find this needs to be done once every two months

Got the 3M cloth from amazon but packing was broken. is it original product ? cloth does not have 3m written on it except on label at corner

That looks like the real thing. Measure the size. Should be 35cm

One of the latest scam in car care is these microfiber towels and mitts. They say that microfiber but most of them are not!
To be a microfiber towel, it should have polyamide in it, but most of these towels are having nylon instead of polymide.

I use 'Formula 1 - Carnauba Wash & Wax Shampoo' for my i10, not getting enough shine tough.
I think i need to shift to car shampoo alone and do the wax separately.

Can you please suggest some good car shampoo. I am planning to buy turtle wax for waxing.

One query: Should we do polish before waxing ? Or the other way.

Yes, Wash N Wax, doesn't works as it should. Better to wash with Shampoo and then Wax Separately.

Earlier I used waxpol shampoo which gave very nice results.Actually, the shopkeeper told that Formula1 shampoo is AMERICAN BRANDED and is well known.
I bought a 3M polish from Amazon after reading lot of good reviews but no change;very unhappy about it.

ArmorAll, Turtle Shampoo is good but expensive.I've been using Motomax car shampoo worth Rs. 50 /- for 200 ML. And so far it's working very good for me. I didn't find any specific reason to change my shampoo so far. But have heard lot of things about other shampoos so want to try other products also.

I Wax with Turtle hard shell Wax.

I have used MotoMax, TurtleWax, 3M Premium Liquid Wax and all of them are very good. MotoMax is good at hiding minor scratches while TurtleWax gives smooth finish to the surface, and 3M Wax removes swirls and gives glossy look. Have used these in i20 and Ecosport and results are good if not best.

It depends on how you use it, do you use hand or a buffing/polishing machine ? Results depend on the way it is applied. Even Spreading and wiping in circular motion makes the car look glossy.

Thanks for the feedback, what is the price for waxpool shampoo. I paid 250bucks for F1 473ml. And was kept in boot for easy access. Last week car washer found out that cap was broken and all liquid was wasted. So don't want to invest much now. Looking for some cheaper option's now.

I guess it is from pidilite group. I saw this on cardekho shop website. How did you got it for 50/- for 200ml. Mrp of 100ml is showing as 50 on Amazon, and that too doesn't have good feedback tough.

Thanks nishant for quick update.
I haven't used any wax till now on my i10. So was bit curious about it. Upon reading feedbacks and reviews got one clear option that turtle wax is one of the best and cheaper bet to make my black beauty shine like ever... :)

Sorry, It's for 100 ML. I know, the feedback is not good on few sites, but have been using this since last several years, and never felt the need to change it. , Why not try it once, it's just 50/- :)
