Honda activa battery is not working for many days. It got repaired many times. So, thinking ti replace the battery with latest battery in India now i.e Qwik Batteries. Any suggestions?

ya Its truth!! Microfiber towels are enough to wash the bike which does not make any scratches and lint on the surface !!

Re: bike polish for Matte finish!

Hi Guys,

I am going to get my new bike tomorrow. Its a Honda CB Hornet 160r (Matte Black with Orange) and has most of its portions covered in Matte finish parts.

Can you help me to understand how I can maintain the Matte Portions of the bike ? Any Paint Protection Film that can be applied to the bike ?

If there is any film that can be applied, then please let me know what type of film and where can I get it installed on the bike in Bangalore ?

Don't polish Matt finished paint.
Also wax makes such surface worst.
Use only paint protector on matt surface after washing and cleaning.

I also wonder how do our average paint guys manage in case of minor scratches paint chip off etc where only touch up would be sufficient. Are these paint guys talented enough to take up such work

How to polish a vehicle with a Matt finish paint. Should this be polished or not? What protection can be applied to such vehicles?
Just curious to know.

Thanks

Re: Caring for my thunderbird

These are two different products easily mistaken by many.. Wax and polish

Wax is a protectant
Polish adds shine and removes minor defects

You can try car pro reload gyeon cure Meguairs nxt tech wax 2.0 sonax BSD 3m liquid wax

My personal suggestion would be to use liquid waxes or sealants as they require less effort and result is similar.

Polishes- car pro reflect 3m final finish Meguairs ultimate polish sinus final finish etc which has more than 3000 grit for superior shine

Re: bike polish!

Which polish to use for Activa any suggestions guys ?? What is the difference between Wax polish and Silicon Wax polish ? I have been told that Formula 1 Wax / 3M Liquid Polish / Amway Silicon Wax liquid polish are good options. Since most of the bodies is made up of fibre these days, so which one will be good and will be longing ?
