I don't want to be forced to wax again, I would prefer to do it in my free time. If there is some other wax product that would last longer, then do let me know, I would buy that one.

Thanks,

For the Formula1 products if buying from Amazon, choose either TAMS Automotive store or Cloudtail as sellers. These sellers sell genuine F1 products as per Matrix International which imports Formula 1 products in India. The F1 products which do not have the Matrix hologram are usually fake.

TAMS sells fakes. I bought this 3M glass cleaner

http://www.amazon.in/3M-IA260100036-...dp/B00S5SBYVS/

and the label spells Plastic as "Platic" obviously fake, just like many others complaining in the comments there.

Cloudtail is the only vendor i trust with eyes closed

The label on the 3M product reads as Plastic. Are you mistaken with some other product? You have put the link of the product but the seller is not TAMS or Cloudtail. The sealing on the product also looks genuine to me.

Re: Huge Fake Car Polish/Wax market in India

It is this thread that made me a loyal customer of the Waxpol original wax way back in 2011. There is simply no match to the hard waxpol in our Indian environment. I have tried Formula 1s/Armor all/Collinite/ Turtle.
The waxpol is quite difficult to find and I was getting it from vicky.in. However, the good part is generally a can lasts for more than a year.

For the ones who are finding it difficult to find, it is now available in amazon and I ordered a can few months back from amazon.in.

I was a long term fan of Waxpol years ago. But tried other brands.

Are they still good and long lasting in dry as well as rainy seasons?

Did you meant a can lasts for one year for a car or a bike?

Well nothing in that wax has changed for years now. It's as good as it was before. Water beading is visible even after a month of waxing the car.
BTW this is for the old orange tin wax, the new ones are all crap.

I meant for a car as you would need to wax your car 10-12 times max in a year with this hard wax and that's enough exercise for a year

Below is a picture of the roof of my car after using the waxpol hard wax, all it takes is dusting with Jopasu duster for the next 3/4weeks to retain this shine:

Re: Huge Fake Car Polish/Wax market in India

I had ordered Formula 1 leather and upholstery cleaner from Amazon during their sale. When I received the product, I noticed there was no Matrix One hologram and neither any sticker of Matrix One. I promptly returned the item as I am sure this is fake. IMO Matrix One is the only authorized distributor for Formula 1 products in India.
