    From what I have heard,Mothers' products have good reviews abroad especially among car care dealers. I have ordered the FX SynWax from them. Will post a review once I receive it. Had a talk with Auto Mall guys as well. They guaranteed that it's the real deal.

    You could get them in Karol Bagh, when you enter from the road opposite to 'Hanuman Mandir' (Badi Hanuman ji ki murti wala mandir), when you reach the first cut take it to the right hand side, there you have shops of Dhamija Auto then Upkar auto House and then a car accessories shop (don't remember the name ), there you can get turtle products. A sardarji will be in there.
    Not all turtle products are there but main ones are like Turtle Super HArd Shell Wax and Turtle Zip Wax and Wash.
    thanks for that information , i also found turtle wax hard shell in gurgaon near sec 14 . but he had only this product from turtle wax .

    Why take chances then? If you want a superior to it, please opt for Formula one polish.
    Actually fake Formula1 products have flooded the market. I have seen their wax polish in various tub sizes while they are available only in one size (dont recollect the quantity).

    Best bet is to use the local desi ones like waxpol or buy the best (meguiars) off the net and have it shipped home. Will cost a bomb but will be worth every penny.

    Tire polish is used to make the tire shine. It only improves the look factor and yes, it does attract lots of dust. Please avoid using it on the contact area (where the tire meets the road) or you'll have a nasty slide. Sometimes the chemicals in these polishes can cause the rubber in the tire to breakdown... lesser tire life.

    Best to use a hard brush and detergent soap to get the grime off the tires.

    Dude tyre shine is for cars, not really worth it on a bike tyre as you only have a small area where you can apply it, most of the 3m detailing stuff sucks imo, get yourself some turtle wax,autoglym or meguires, the good stuff actually works out cheaper in the long run.

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

    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

    Very interesting indeed ... i bough this .. from here eBay India: Collinite Liquid Wax No. 845 - Most durable CAR Wax (item 130494928204 end time 05-Jun-2011 18:15:02 IST) .. n used it on my Optra, feels good, now need to use it on my Pulsar too !!

    Most upmarket car accessory shops will stock Turtle wax. If you have Metro (retail giant) in your city then u can check what they stock.
