For those who reside in Pune - Aundh and Baner area a old Bajaj Showroom has been converted into KTM and KAWASAKI Store. You can get your vehicle serviced here.
PS - its in front of TenHut's home diagonally to Hotel Bhairavee Baner.
Simple solution use formula1, waxopol or turtle wax and take a scrotch brites soft sponge which comes in thin layers and start rubbing on clean parts with wax from the visor to the last part of fibre you see and repeat the same with other side of sponge. You are done.Originally posted by Eshan-P180 View PostDoes anyone know where i could find a polishing gun? The one used for polishing fiber and metal based panels. Planning to polish the bike at home. Also costing of the machine (if you know)
Please dont reply by posting just the shop name or locality as whole which cannot be found on google.
Thanx

True that. There are a lot of good products available nowadays. Try Meguiars products. I use it on my bikes and cars. Huge difference in feel and protection.Originally posted by antz.bin View PostTurtle / Formula 1 wax + APNA HAATH JAGANNATH!! Why you need fancy machines? Dukaan khol raha hai kya?
A polishing unit is good provided you know how to use it effectively. Use of your upper limbs is good enough for a typical enthusiast. Otherwise, the Meguiars polish unit is available for Rs. 14,288.Never argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.

The best I have used till date is Collinite 845 Insulator Wax. Its from a US based company. It comes in liquid form which needs to be applied on the paint and then wipe off after few minutes. The shine is the best I have seen after using other products.

Than why you need all the machines and all experiments to shine your bikes, aas paas ki aur khudki 4 bikes ko itna saaf rakhne ka experience toh hain na. Waise R15 ke fairing itna maintenance mangte nahi re, and the amount you would spend on machine in that much amount if you add some more money and replace all panels after 2 years.Originally posted by Eshan-P180 View PostOk ok, i saw that sparkly showroom with green and orange logos so thought some owners might benefit.

You can buy the deal that comes in Times of india it has a basic dril along with other tools , i have used it has setting for Slow/fast speed and Normal/reverse rotation... the entire kit is for 2500-3000 i gues... buy the kit... Try Junabajar alsoOriginally posted by Eshan-P180 View PostQuery closed from myside.
Freaking machine cost Rs5750. Called up Bosch Pune Dealer. Its a proper polishing machine with those buffers.
EDIT - Got another info, the machine should have motor which is capable or generating 500 to 1500 rpms only. This is perfect for polishing or chances of fiber parts breaking are more. If you need for metal surfaces then the machine should have 1800 to 2400rpms speed, works perfect to remove dirt and other dust particles, even those orange rusted marks (use rubbing compound).

A gem I found. Have a good day
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
