For any kind of coatings go to the specialist like 3M exlusive shops and do not go with dealer as they do nothing, a eyewash and give it !!

For vacuum cleaners, enquire about Roots which is heavy duty than Eureka !!

Yes man. I have doubts, I think they had done only polish not teflon coating. Bcos i couldn't feel it in my car. They took money but done nothing. I'll do it when there is a need to go for near by cities.

In my city there are few products only available to choose from. LG and Eureka are the options now. I need to buy it from my city only due to warranty replacements/service in mind. Anyway i'll search further for the mentioned product.

 

[Gurrala74]

Yes, you are right, let it be any car or any brand, dealer will come up saying he will give you Teflon free !! which is really a big joke as far as I know, they will have a big container of Wax and just apply and do some buffing and give to you !!

Yes. Even they giving bill for 2500 Rs man.
For underbody coating they gave me 5 years warranty with certificate. But no certificate for teflon.

I would suggest to go only in car detailing shop and ask them about 3m paint sealant treatment .ni said 3m because they do everything so perfectly and neatly that the effect is simply amazing my freind did to his black Hyundai accent and belive me the car was looking better then when he bought it from showroom, and that too after 6 years he did this treatment . Since you go on trips incase you go to banglore you will have many 3m centers or chennai .

What is the difference between paint-sealant vs polymer coating? My water is more more salty. I need to plan something to save my car.

 

[Raja]

I dont know about polymer coating but paint sealant helps the car to restore its shine and luster for a long period of time .it gives the car a very shining look the car actually glitters and it saves the cars paint from uv rays and chemicals . The 3m guys will also give you details on how to maintain the car post treatment .

Yes. I hope the same now. I'll install it tomorrow and post photos.



Everybody can complain about ASS of tata and its simple look. But its worthy in all other matters as safety, comfort, maintenance, VFM, Mileage, etc.

Ok. Lets stop the safety discussion here. Owners only can feel, understand and experience on some matters. Atleast they must have a courage to accept some matters. Lot of them simply do hatting some brand for no reasons.

Aria has its own reason for low sales. XUV has its own reason for good sales. Very few aria has issues. Most of them by bad service peoples. But all XUV has issues as electronic gadget failure (all can be fixed, but its repeating), brake issues (not resolved it in all vehicles sold till now).

Ok. lets leave it.

The alloys are safari OEM. I just opt it to avoid warranty issues. But after install, i'm loving it most than neo alloys installed in other aria.

I dont want to place anything over the dash. But i'm going to place 3.5 inch reverse camera display very close to instrument cluster. I'm searching for a better place to keep the tissue box.

Aria has a lock to protect the fifth tyre from theft, placed close to utility box. I'm not sure its unique in aria or not. But its nice. I'll post photo next time when i post interior shots.

Not to extend the safety discussion. I just want to make it clear that, NO ONE here is BIASED. That is what makes our community unique. We are keeping that up and will keep that up. Well, about hating brands.. I had a TATA Estate and i liked it very much, though it had timing belt problems(i cant say it doesnt have problems just because i like the car). It had all power windows,rear AC vents at 1995's which was unbelievable(It was a benz model produced by TATA and rebadged). And we comment on your threads because we LIKE your car. But we might say things which you wont like, but thats just to make sure there is no wrong assumptions. There are chances where even our comments might be wrong, that is the reason why we are here, to learn from each other.

And i still drive my brothers TATA Manza in the weekends. It is a Damn comfortable car, even compared to my Octavia which is a segment above. Hence high speed handling is not its strength, which is also true. So as you said, only person who has actually driven the car can comment on it.

And you said TATA cars look simple, but ARIA is an exception, it looks stunning .

About my Octavia, i am ready to accept its weaknesses anyday/anytime/anywhere

-> Tight steering at low speeds
-> Engine Noise
-> Low seating position
-> Weak headlamps
... it goes on...

Jeno.

I am not sure about the Paint-Sealant . But Wax coating for every 25-30k kms Will be enough(costed 1.5 k for me). And salt water wont affect your car if the coating is done on time.(Metallic paints are generally rust resistant?)

And my friend who owns a i10 says that, All it takes is a"Formula One" polish/cleaner. I will make the car look as good as new. No need of teflon or wax(atleast not as often as u actually need).

Jeno.

There is no 3M authorized center in my place. But there are some car jewel shops has 3M materials to sell. My dealership applied a wurth teflon coating now. But its not look good in my view. My dealership telling that the "wurth has polimer coating, but its also tuflon, but with 3 years contract. Thats it" This kind of knowledge only they have. They telling that, Even after applied teflon coating, "i can cancel the bill and give new bill as polimer coating applied, Billing amount only the difference." So i dont want to go with dealership as they dont know what is the worth of the products which they are selling.

I have 4 micro fiber cloth to clean. and i have 2 rubber like cloth to wipe the water after wash. But i dont have duster now. I'll search for better one.

I'm planning buy a vacuum cleaner with car washer tools and wet cleaning facility. I hope i can get one today from eureka forbes.

Kindly tell me the product name of the 3M coating and its best price.

just a suggestion from my side.

all manufacturers provide a clear coat over the paint on almost all cars.

yours a premium one from TATA.

all 3M does is remove the top layer clear coat and apply their own coat which is thinner from the OEM coat.

so in my opinion avoid it .

you can plan that after 2-3 years if you feel that the colour is faded.

in the meanwhile do some wax polish every 4-6 months which should keep your car brand new.

+100, Excellent, I was just about to tell this as I am doing the same and I am able to protect the paint finish well.

I have seen how a painting process goes in any Auto manufacturer which is really a effective process( I worked on the project of paint process optimisation and refinement for best paint quality at Maruti Suzuki/Hyundai when representing a European firm). There may be some cases where pain quality is not good with some product, it happens some time, but believe me OE paint quality is so good, that it does not need any coating on it, but due to the pollution,dust,weather conditions, we try to apply some thing on it regularly.

It is just using an Autowax and one buffing wheel that's it. No Teflon nothing !!

One more sincere suggestion is that however you apply anything regularly, see that your vehicle is not exposed to sun for long time in a day, this really protect the paint quality to large extent !!

Yes. well said. Accepted.

Normally all tata cars excluding old sumo, are most comfortable, comparable to just a segment above.

And you said TATA cars look simple, but ARIA is an exception, it looks stunning .

Its stunning from some angles. But still simple.

I am not sure about the Paint-Sealant . But Wax coating for every 25-30k kms Will be enough(costed 1.5 k for me). And salt water wont affect your car if the coating is done on time.(Metallic paints are generally rust resistant?)

Jeno.

My car colour in black. So i need to keep always fresh. Are you sure the salt water will not affect the glossiness?

I have a car polish from Amway. Is it enough than wax?
I'm little bit confused now.

How to save by paint from the salt accumulation? Is there any solution available to mix with water?

I faced a bad experience with dealer. I'll pen down the matter after an hour. They are famous for creating big issue when they finish small issues in different places.

 

[justinsylas]

I already told you that i sent my car to fix some rattling issues created by service guys.

I sent a mail to management team, just ask them to have a look at the issue created by them. The service people tried to identify the root of rattling. But they failed.

First they tried to blame my reverse horn fitting, so they removed it. But the car keep rattling as before. The service people dont know that the same was installed by the same dealership.

Then they now changed the focus randomly to roof. They are going to pickup my car from my house to fix it. They telling that, they are going to open the roof. I warn them against the trial. Bcos i never heard any sound for the last 2200kms in hills and highways. They done something wrong when they install alloys. The sound coming from right-back-bottom side as per my and test-driver understanding. But they guessing something wrong. I'm warning them not to create any new issues. I stated the same in mail too. I shared the same to tata helpline peoples. Tata peoples assured me that they 'll look into it. I dont know how many days they are going to keep my cars in their workshop. I think they will return me back atleast to avoid my phone calls and mails.

The GM-Sales, CR-Manager, Accessories Manager, Few executives and owner only from the dealership doing things right and promising only what they can handle.

The Accessories manager is very much frank, he 'll not install anything if he dont know. He dont know what is polymer coating, so he never suggest it to customers. Some times he is telling some wrong info to avoid to sell the unknown products.

CR-Manager never give me a bad smile/face when i point-out small things to rectify. He know what his job title describing.

But to handle all others are very hard. We need to record everything by the way of mail, service records and complaints otherwise they will call us fool.

We paid for car as well as future service warranties. So i think we can fight them hard. Bcos service guaranteed by tata not by dealer.

A.S.S is very hard with this people, but manageable i think. Atlast/atleast my problem will be heard and fixed.

Do you guys feel, should i change my attitude?

 

[Superbad]

No need to change the attitude, try changing the service centre then.
