      Buy it online from Bangalore based www.carpolish.in OR www.auto-mall.in. Both websites belong to the same company. Mothers California Gold Clay Bar System costs Rs.1250/-.

      Awaiting your reply on the bold text above.
      Found the answer to that query. Use either one of the two 3-step detailing products mentioned below.


      I polish my bike with a good wax (i use Turtle wax super hard shell) after a nice wash. What is the glaze and where can i get it? I will buy the Meguiars soon, will i still need a glaze?
      Either of these 2 products take care of the paint cleaning, polishing and waxing including sealing and glazing.

                    Test a small patch of area before applying it in full; some black color plastics have known to change white in color (not sure if its issue with plastic or with the wax itself). But there weren't much issues when used on most plastics that has metal like finishes using paint.

                        I don't know any specific shop, but, usually it can be done where they do paint jobs; for instance, if you give your bike for any restoration work at any garage, they inturn approach workshops where painting is carried out. Usually it should be done there.

                        Having said that, stay away from teflon as its not of much use. Use polish & wax instead.
