I have bought extreme, couple of month before and it was my daily cleaning liquid. It requires 2 passes of microfiber i.e. 1 pass to clear the liquid and 2nd pass to spread the stickiness left behind as protection layer. The 2nd pass was a problem as it was inducing swirls (micro) but last month the formula has been updated so don't know about that.
Also, they have come with another product i.e. extreme with carnauba wax which is currently prices the same as extreme, so you can try it out.

Bought this Formula 1 Citrus Fragranced Protectant (Formula 1 Citrus Fragranced Protectant (118 ml): Amazon.in: Car & Motorbike) and 3M Car Care Microfibre Cloth (3M Car Care Microfibre Cloth: Amazon.in: Car & Motorbike) from Amazon recently. While the 3M Microfibre is great, Formula 1 Fragranced Protectant is just a waste. It does neither gives a good shine, nor any fragrance. I would still go back to Vista Dashboard Polish, which was good in both aspects.
My detailing arsenal includes this all
2x Spray bottles ( use it for QD, or spot application )
2X Pressure Sprayers ( Use it for daily rinseless wash , you get this at most shell petrol pumps)
5X Gold Cobra JR 350 GSM plush Microfibre towel ( great for buffing and removing wax/ polish )
10X Eurow 350Gsm all purpose MF towel ( Used for daily washing )
3X Chemical Guys 660GSM ultra plus towel ( used for buffing and buffing wax )
About 40 Assorted average quality microfiber towels.
Proklear Xtreme Waterless wash for clay lube/ QD ( link )
Proklear RAW ( for daily washing )
Ultima Waterless wash for QD / clay lube
Poorboys Professional Polish
Poorboys EX-Sealant
Poorboys Natural Shine
Meguiars APC
1 X Orange hand LC foam pad for polishing
1 X MF hand pad for applying sealant
3 X tooth brush to clean alloys/interior
4 X Yellow Foam Applicator pads for interior and applying dressing on rubber/ tires
Proklear NGS - as hydrophobic coating on all glass surface.

Re: How Do You Clean Your Car?
Hi Guys,
In my society stray dogs are very annoying. They climb onto the car roofs and sleep mostly in mid night. I tried red chilli powder, car cover on my car. But result is zero.
Have few scratches on hood and roof due to street dog sharp nails. I also tried maguire scratch2.0 but I can still see scratches.
Please suggest any good rubbing product for my new Wagon R Glistening Grey Color

Hi Cameo,
I think you are using Fomula 1 Paste Wax. I am looking for carnuba paste wax.
I have OCW and also I am using Formula 1 Wash and wax shampoo. Both are excellent products.
Can you tell me durability about the formula 1 paste Wax.

Hi gauravtrivedi.
Yes, I have the formula 1 carnauba wax. The durability depends on the kind of usage. I take a very little amount of wax and normally do waxing after every car wash. so that way, the shining stays always. Otherwise, I am not sure how long the wax stays there, as I haven't checked that. That small box comes with quite good amount of quantity,so I don't mind doing the waxing very frequently.
My advice would be to also explore the 3M or Meguiar Synthetic wax too, as that's what they use at 3M Car detailing centres.

to add to that: I have a feeling that the durability is less.

Wax and wash
Guys recently i used Armoral Wash and wax solution on my car,it has great effects.
I applied it on the surface after washing it thouroughly.
Areas excluded where- Beadings, Glass areas.
Procedure-
1.Wash the car thoroughly that no stain remains.
2.Ensure no moisture on surface apply drop by drop on surface,gently rub it with a soft cloth( Old cotton soft t shirt cloth will do).
3.With continous rubbing ensure that the drops doesn't remain and it gets applied(No swirl motion apply in linear manner)
4.Allow it to dry for 1-2 hours.
5.The car is ready for next ride.
For best results apply it in shady condition( Dust particles can stick up if done outside a shaded area.)

Re: Wax and wash
As per my Knowledge the Wash and WAX products are used to wash the car whereas the also leave a thin film of WAX.Normally usage will be
-Rinsing the car with water if too much dust
-Mix Wash and WAX product in the bucket with Water
-Wash the car with this solution
-Dry with a MF or soft cloth
and thats it.
the way you used it is more like a car polish.
