You should allow the engine bay to cool down before covering the car.

2. People ask us to use B&W newspaper to clean the windscreen , but then when ? Even if its dirty or first it has to be wiped with a cloth?
B&W newspaper should be used only when you’re washing your glass area. Instead of using cloth, use newspaper to wipe it dry.

3. How to keep black body scratchless, people ask to use wet(damp) cloth, but that leaves water marks .. thats again irritating.
Follow the process as I mentioned in the first post.

4. The yellow cloth available at petrol pumps for 15/- a piece in hyderabad are again a pain to use, since they leave so many yellow fibres that i have to use another cloth to clean the place that has been cleaned by the so called better cleaner.
I repeat, follow the process as I mentioned in the first post.

Can someone tell the whole process of cleaning (for cars in "god only can help" category).
I think I’ve covered most of your points in my write up. Please go through it again.

Once we are back from a rainy drive (How do we manage that .. should we clean and let it dry before covering)
That’s the best thing you can do if your energy level permits.

3. Proper usage of paper/cloth. (details please, just writing that use newspaper is of no help, since i find using newspaper can leave more scratches if the windscreen is dry and dirty)
Newspaper should not be used on dry glass surface.

I am planning to buy Forumla 1 scratch out from ebay (170/-) + shipping , is it worth buying?
Not really. I have this and haven’t found it impressive.
Quote:
Also what are the other products suggested and approx costs and where they are available (in hyderabad if someone knows)
Get in touch with Hyderabad boys or plan to buy all these from Bangalore.

I am using something like "Colin" for windscreen and other glass .. is it OK ?
Nothing wrong but not a must. Try VISTA glass cleaner. Should be available in Hyderabad.
