bike polish!

[Above_All]

Today while checking for scratch remover in polish shop here , found a rubbing polish of 3m with cost र 110 /- . The shop owner has said it will remove only light scratched but not deep one & said Scratch out is better than this , but not available now will be in a month .

Any one knows about that scratch out ( Sorry i forgot name of its manufacturer , but the shop owner said its come from usa . )

Also he showned me Cartec polishes , applied one of cartec polish on small portion on my ZMR tank , & after 5 minit's he cleaned with a 3m micro fiber cloth & damn it's so smooth . He said it will last more than 2 months . Cost written on that bottle is र 2200/- He then shown a combo box from cartec having 3 bottles one shampoo , one polish , one shine polish , the all 3 bottles seems to be of 150 / 250 ml , cost written on that box is र 1900/- But he said he will give it for र 1600 /- & offered a 3m micro fiber cloth of र 150/- free on it .

I collected a info page from him about cartec but nothing much specified there some general info & these 2 websites WaxGuard & Epcoat Surface Systems . Any one used or using cartec products ? Are they good ?

Both robert's & 3M are synthetic polymer wax in solvent . Turtle hard shell is natural carnauba wax (plus some other proprietary stuff), which is even harder to buff off if too thickly applied or let to over-dry . On plastics , you can use waxpol liquid silicone polish. If you do get a dry wax stain anywhere, best way to remove is to apply some more of the same stuff afresh and wipe off vigorously immediately without any waiting .

This is what i used to shine my baby. This is used by most of the local SVC guys near my area.
Its from makers of Fevicol
for 50ml= 25rs, 100ml=40rs. First i brought 50ml for testing. its perfect. but i dont know how many days it lasts. with this cheap rate i dont think its last more than a week. but i am happy i searched some local stores for more polish and wax but not available. i need to search more stores. I think the 3M is a good one let me check is it available here.

I use the same thing, it's made by pidilite and gives excellent shine as good as new and removes all kind of sticky dirt the bike may have on it. the only downside is if you apply slightly thicker coat then buffing it with hand is very very tiring, at least for me :P but it's worth the effort, and i just brought turtle wax super hard shell. do you guys think it's a good idea to use turtle wax after applying the above product? P.S- learnt the hard way not to apply robert's on mag wheels or plastic, like speedo etc that has an rough surface, only to be applied on glossy surface or your bike will turn white.
