All after market exhausts should be banned? Wow, which planet is this?

Regarding polish the ones below are the best and in that order...

1. Meguiars (the best so far and sworn by many detailers across the world) - Cost : very expensive. IIRC its approx 1k for a tin.

2. Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell (i use this and its very good). Cost - 250 rupees for a jar/tin.

3. ArmorAll Wash n Wax (this is a shampoo containing carnauba wax) - i use this too and it gives a superb sheen to the bike. No need to wax polish the bike after a wash. Wax polish can be done IF needed only once in 2 months or so. Costs 350 odd rupees for a bottle (500 ml IIRC).

I bought mine almost a year back and wash the bike almost every fortnight or so. Still have half the bottle contents remaining. All that is needed is 2-3 capfulls in a bucket of water for super foamy shampoo. Its highly concentrated so a couple of capfulls is all that is needed for a bucketfull of water.

4. Most important - Never use a rag, old torn banian (vest) or undies

or any other piece of clothing to wash the bike or to dry it.

For this buy microfiber cloth which is super-absorbent (absorbs water like a sponge and wont scuff, scratch or damage the paint). Turtle wax has a set of 3 MF towels for around 600 odd rupees. Total VFM and highly recommended. Use one to wash, one to dry and the third to wax the bike

I have been using this for almost a year and absolutely love it.

Thanks for the information dude

So it will be available in good bike accessories shops?

awesome, i was eagerly waiting for this one to happen. The CBR250R formally showing, among the products page. good Manish!

@environmentalists/HH Hunk: I already clarified my position (post 2821) regarding exhausts. lets not go overboard with this.
and gunning for a quarter litre bike and wishing it to go ultra silent is like asking Megan Fox to wear a full Salwar-Kameez with dupatta and chant sanskrit hyms!!

I would never advocate putting an after market Yoshi, or 2B or LV exhaust in a litre class/ super sport I4 engine, cause already have the sound we all die for. what I meant is to add bassy humm to the 250 sound. wont any of you like that or call it "shitty"?

**HH_HUNK** · 03-25-2011, 06:51 PM

Hmm fair price. I expected it to go above 1.7L but Honda kept its word

Glad to help. I'm not sure if bike accessory shops will have it, car accessory shops will most definitely stock such products.

I'm sure you can find it easily in mumbai.

P.S. There are fake turtle waxes doing the rounds, so always take a good look at the packaging on the official website and then buy.

**myg124** · 03-25-2011, 07:07 PM

So its 1.92 on road for Mumbai, the ABS model. Not bad at all. A lakh cheaper than the ninja. Superb!

Also, very interesting we seem to have( or not?!) got the bike with a full bhp less. Will we ever get something thats the same globally! Or maybe it is 26bhp. I dont know, just posting what I found on the Indian site and the global counterpart.

Honda India still havent updated their product portfolio with this babys addition to it.

I am wondering which cover, polish should I be using for this bike? I see a lot of matte finish in there.

Satyen, use Collinite 845 wax, such an amazing stuff, such a beautiful product, tested ONLY ONCE one my car & Rx. Why do you need to apply only once is because, the wax simply stays there & doesn't gets washed away even with mild rain. The wax covers & provides beautiful shine. Very easy to apply, just apply one coat & simply scrub with micro fiber cloth. Once applied, you don't need to apply for next 6 months for sure, though the company says 8 months. One full bottle is sufficient to wax a mid size car like Civic, so one bottle is more than sufficient for the life time of the motorcycle

Its such an amazing paint protector.

Collinite Wax Products* :: Choice of the Pros :: Auto, Marine and Industrial

In India you can buy it online from http://www.auto-mall.in/ or use e-bay which is also promoted by same Auto Mall - http://stores.ebay.in/Auto-Mall-India-Online

The history of Collinite 845 started as a product that was designed for electrical insulation almost 80 years back, and people found out it works great on automobile. People use it on Glass/Windshield , it works as rain repellent also, and help smooth wiper movement. And some people use it as interior protector on dashboard and all. And some use it as metal protector also

Contact one Mr.Sham in Auto Mall
