Hi Guys,

I own a Ikon flair black and i do agree that keeping a black car clean is a pretty tough job , however teflon coat is just an eye wash.

The way i do to keep my car clean is as follow:

Daily i use a very soft cotton cloth in moist state to wipe all over the car only the car body, (no tyres , wheels), next i take cotton watse which you would get at any oil dealers or pertol pump ( no not the yellow ones, they are just cotton waste ).

Cotton waste is very smooth, I clean the surface of the Car again with this cotton waste And u see the gloss as new.


Apart, every fortnight i use formula 1 wax in yellow round box :

I repeat the 1st step of cleaning the car body with moist cotton cloth and then apply this F1 wax with a wet sponge applicator given with the wax box.

after i am sure the entire car is throughly waxed ( note do not apply on plastic parts). I then use the cotton waste, its ease to clean .

Now u see this is a challeneger to teflon coated cars.

for tyres i use STP and for interiors i ocassionaly use a all in one dashborad cum seat cleaning spary.

It takes me abt 1 hr+ for this process which i do it on sat mostly, but I bet it gives u the satisfaction.

Also the dust can easily be removed and following the wax the next week to 10 days use a lightly moist cloth or dry cotton and see the results.

Try it out. I do this religiously.

Cheers!!!
