Guys ,
This is to warn u ,abt the various advertisements cuming in Overdrive and Autocar.
* *Nowadays we have been seeing a lot of advertisements from 3M about their body protection schemes.all I can say abt 3M is ---it suckkkkkkkkkkks.
i had an AmazingGlaze body polish on my car which comes with a 2 year warranty.it really worked as I could make out the difference when looking at other newer cars of the same colour.
Even after the 2 year period my car color and the body *was better than others who had just done a Teflon.
After seeing this 3M advertisement,I replied to them .soon I got a letter saying that I can get 1500rs worth of polishing free.it cud be either the body,or the interiors or the underbody rust prevention.the only thing was that I would have to pay the extra amount over the 1500rs that I had won.
Since I had heard a lot abt 3M,I went for the ?exterior beautification scheme?,for old cars.initially ,it was decided that I would have to pay 1250 extra as it was costing 2750Rs.then on the day of polishing,when I called the concerned persom ,he said that the rates were hiked to 3500rs. So now I had to pay 2000rs extra over the 1500rs that was free.i am the last person to ever think of money when it cums *to spending on my car..so I did not say anything and agreed to it.,when my trusted Amazing Glaze wud have cost me just 2000rs .
Since I stay in mulund,the polishing was decided to be done at Udit Motors in thane,who is an Opel dealer.
Firstly I was not allowed to go near my car when this polishing was being done,saying it was not allowed.on top of it ,two of my T-BHP stickers were torn during washing.
Somehow I still managed to go near my car when no one was around,and u know wat I see,they were applying 3M wax polish repeatedly on my car and were rubbing it.
Also I had been using Turle Wax Vinyl polish or STP Sun of a Gun on my dashboard and the vinyl strips on the doors. So even after 3 years ,my dashboard and these strips were still as new.but these 3M people,dunno wat they did to it,both my dash and the strips have just faded .when I asked as to why 3M vinyl polish was not being used,I was told that the dealer insisted on using his vinyl ,dashboard and tire polish.for this ,the dealer was getting 300rs per car.and this happens at all the dealers that 3M do to,I was told.
Now all I can say is ,inspite of polishing with a turle wax platinum series wax ,which is supposedly the best,my car does not have the old shine,also there were a lot of swirl marks on *my car after this polish.i have managed to remove most of these swirl marks as I had a swirl marks remover.my Vinyl strips and the dashboard also are not the same.
So I will be going back to my old Amazing Glaze ,after the rains.
What really pains me is not abt losing the 2k rs,it is abt how people take us for a ride,and after one rain,my car looked worse than wat it was before.ALSO I CAN SEE THE METAL UNDER THE PAINT AT SOME PLACES ON THE BONNET AND THE ROOF.THESE ARE VERY MINUTE BUT I CAN MAKE OUT.SO U CAN UNDERSTAND THE QUALITY OF THE 3m POLISH.
What really shocks me is ,how can magazines like Overdrive and Autocar acrry advertisements like these,without checking abt the facts.,when there are people who blindly follow whatever is written by these mags.
Also I saw a Tavera being polished next to my car,I really felt sorry for the owner who was paying abt 1500rs for a simple wax polish.1500rs because ,a new car polish is different from *wat an old car requires .that is wat I was told.
I had written to 3M,and I was told that they can arrange for one more round of scraping my body paint,and this time for free.but I simply refused,after that they have not all cared to ask.
and the person who did the work was angry that I had complained *.
so guys beware.
SO GUYS,EVEN IF SOMEONE SAYS ABT GETTING A 3M POLISH FOR FREE,U KNOW WAT TO DO.JUST KICK HIS STINKING AA_,U KNOW WAT.
3M TREATMENT IS BEING DONE AT ALMOST ALL OPEL AND TOYOTA CAR DEALERS.,SO PLS AVOID IT.
