GM88, Mukeshus, Superbad, Raja,

Thank you for the wishes[:)]

GM88 - yes, I wanted to share within the week of my purchase. In fact, I realized one of the forum rules to mask the number plate only after uploading the picture. I ended up recalling the picture for corrections. It was a bit painful to post pictures especially with low internet speed.

Glad you liked it.

Singh and Iron Rock thanks for the wishes.

Those are very light weighted mats, though lighter color looks pleasant but it needs a close maintenance, unlike the rubber mats.[:)]

Re: "SARAH" - Detailed XUV 5OO Ownership Experience

I learnt about these mats on TAI. I must say thanks to some of you for strong advocation. One of my colleagues got Arctic Blue this weekend also expressed that my car mats are superior to his. He got 4D mats and those did not fit aptly in the slots.

One other thing, without much scratching my head got from SnapDeal is, Jopasu duster. I noted Kinshuk.Arya mentioned on one of the threads. [clap] I am yet to use this.

Time to pick polish & wax.

Any recommendations Singh Ji?[:)]

I am using the same Jopasu duster and it's a grt product, it reduces the frequency of wash if you clean the car 2-3 times a day and it hardly takes 2-3 minutes of time.

For wash and polish am using Amway carwash and Amway Silicone Glaze polish.

If you want to polish it all by yourself, then you could use,

Meguairs Ultimate Polish (Available in 3m Stores @749/ 473 ml) or
Mothers Synwax FX Polish (available online around Rs 1200) or
Duragloss Total performance polish, DG 105 (not easily available in India)
There is one more polish BlackDiamond Instant Polish

After applying polish you can then apply any Carnuba Wax available in most of the stores, (i have Formula 1 )

Its a pretty tiring job but you would love it once you are done with Polishing.
