A superb Car cleaning, polishing & detailing guide

Don't we have an option of not paying and returning the product if unsatisfactory? I once ordered a DV cable and confirmed the pay only when I was satisfied with the product.

A few highlights from the page you ordered

Leaving Negative or Neutral Feedback will not solve a problem, so please contact us if you have any questions or any complaints before leaving a Feedback

Policies:
image is just indicative of product it may change in size and color but will have same or better features. This answers your question of using this on your car or not. You may please go ahead, it has better features!

If I read anything close to something like this I would never dare place any order from that seller. However, ensure that you leave the feedback if you've already paid and can't undo this buy.

eBay India: F1 Car Shine and Protection Polish (item 180462528695 end time 26-Aug-2010 22:48:12 IST)

Yea! ebay page says,

Quote:

1X 230 gms F1 Car Polish (China Made)

Whereas Formula1 Carnauba car waxes are made by 'Northern Labs' based in the USA (Northern Labs - Contract Manufacturing)

I never though that the sellers would have the guts to put fake products for sale online!!

Well the seller has a high score. 99+. The description also says "china Made". So to be fair send him a mail telling him that you will give a negative feed back and see what he has to say. In fact if you report a seller selling fake stuff, EBay will shut him down.

Now I know why it was not giving any shine to car at all. I bought this a year back from a car spare parts shop for Rs.150 and that time I didn't knew its fake. I applied it after wash but really there was no effect at all. Worst fake product ever! It just don't work. I never used it after few applications and bought waxpol silicon glade which is much better and at least gives goos shine with less effort. All the hard of rubbing this polish on car gone waste

Why is Formula 1 copied so much? I have never heard of a fake sonax / megs / klasse! Its not like that they are cheaper than Formula 1 (I can understand the case with Waxpol)

Let me break the flow of the Formula 1 discussion with something that is not only geniune but unique and unparallelled.

^^ Saw it , great . Thanx.

tempting for Autoglym Super Raisin Polish ...

sohail99 · 20th August 2010, 15:00

^Autoglym SRP is full of fillers!!

scratches will resurface after sometime!

NOTORIOUS · 20th August 2010, 16:00

but isnt it a best opton , if one wants a flawlwss finish without removing a bit of clear coat ??

sohail99 · 20th August 2010, 16:18

Yes! the paint will look great 'temporarily'! but after a week or so its back to square one!

Same is the thing with glazes! they just fill in everything and give an illusion of a perfect finish!

Since I use IPA after every polishing step, it helps in actual assessment of the paint surfave!(IPA removes all the fillers and oils etc.)

NOTORIOUS · 20th August 2010, 16:25

So what to use for minor to medium level scraches , megs UC ???

poloman · 20th August 2010, 16:39

sohail/mkh, My friend is currently in US. Can you guys suggest a shopping cart for me around $50. I have Turtle platinum series Wax and shampoo currently Also a Jopasu duster and lot of micro fiber towels. I have a clay kit and scratch remover in my mind.

sohail99 · 20th August 2010, 17:08

^Autogeek has DP clay in 'buy one get one free' offer - Buy One, Get One Free!

and as mkh says, UC is awesome! literally!!

(also autogeek has a special sale on megs and poorboy's products till the weekend)

You might wanna get a paint sealant while you're at it!

@Notorious - Regarding scratch removal

I think UC is like a universal compound capable of dealing with any kind of scratches.(which are limited to clearcoat of course)

NOTORIOUS · 20th August 2010, 17:20

But applying UC with hand on entire car is not easy job i think.
