      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.
      Are you saying about shiv shambo automobiles, please dont send any of the guys from pune chapter or they will bash you up, as his servicing was pathetic from day one and huge bills on everything and get your bike screwed not serviced frankly.

      Please dont reply by posting just the shop name or locality as whole which cannot be found on google.

      Thanx
      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.

              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.

              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.

                  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. For more details look here Collinite Auto, Marine and Industrial Wax Products Official Site Collinite

                    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.

                      I use ArmorAll Wash-n-Wax + 2 Microfibres (1 for actually applying the wash-n-wax and 1 for normal water wipe) + 1 chamois cloth for finally wiping the bike dry.

                      Works just fine.

                        So this is a shampoo which has waxing properties too or you apply a wax (dry or liquid) after washing?

                          Shampoo which leaves a layer of wax after the wash. Atleast thats what the label says.

                              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).
