My rear wiper was broken (probably by cleaning guy). Got it replaced @ Rs.355.
I asked i am feeling some less acceleration (even I don't know true or not [:D] ). They have cleaned turbocooler. And I feel now my car is running like new one.

It took one day (I couldn't wait, so collected it next day), so washing and interior cleaning is free. I appreciate concorde, they never handed over me my car not cleaned. It was always cleaned in and out. All plastics are shining (don't know what they apply).

Thats must be the dash polish they use for dressing. It has a pleasant fragrance too.

Most of dash board polish are sticky.
For cars that comes to me for polishing , we use dash board polish and wipe with damp cloth.

Else i spray , plastic and rubber care on them.

Glad to hear that you are happy with your car. As Akash mentioned that must be the dash polish doing the trick , but isnt the shine causing a reflection on your windshield? For my Verna KUN Hyundai used to apply that polish , its fragrance but it causes reflection on the windshield till it dries up.


Am even more impressed with the work of Concorde , here they are pathetic! They have never used any polish inside for cleaning my Safari , forget polishing even cleaning will be pathetic!

Jayadev, you can try the Formula1 Dash cleaner and polish. After cleaning the dash, just apply some polish on the dash and you will get much better results than the one done at showroom. I have been using it since past 4years. I rarely get my cars interiors cleaned at A.S.S. I find my cleaning process much more fruitful[:)].

Re: Punto Red Emotion MJD - 1 Year Completed (Pg.14)

First Major Issue yesterday -
Clutch failed. Luckily it happened near my home. Fiat RSA helped to get it till service center.
Looks to be known problem with it.
The old cluth part is made of plastic and now been modified to use metal.

RSM can you post some pics of those failed parts as it seems like a trivial nuisance .

I didn't take any picture. But clutch was not coming out, it was in pressed mode.
And its not trivial. The car couldn't be moved.

I go it replaced just now, warranty.

Actually, Punto's clutch slave is hydraulic. I think earlier cars have this as wires.
But the original cylinder, some part is made of plastic, now it is made of steel.

Cost - ~Rs. 2250

This is kind of known problem, and I should have replaced it earlier.
