Any specific reason for that? And you're using 500 ml spray bottles right?

Could you provide me with the link for the same? At ebay the cost for 1L is around Rs.700 excluding shipping.

Anyone else vouching for Muc-off + Proklear Xtreme combo?

Would appreciate some response from Amway users

Proklear is widely used by many people on other forums. They have come up with this ratio after trials. Any more than this and it gets sticky. Ya, I use 500ml spray bottles.

I got it from eBay only. Price must have increased. Use a discount coupon. Otherwise buy Amway as it's a good shampoo too.

Am using it since last month. Requires only a liter of water for washing my Wagon-R. As stated by Harry, ideal dilution ratio is 1:100. It works really well. PM me if you require more information.

1:100 is the same as 5ml per half liter.
I am using Proklear RAW regular variant (not the Xtreme one). A half liter spray soln is more than enough for one wash of my Wagon R.

Couple of queries guys :

1) What's the major difference between Xtreme and regular variant? Should I go for the Xtreme variant? or is the regular one more than enough?

2) Is the ideal dilution ratio for regular as well as Xtreme same? (5ml for 2 litres)

1. I have both. Xtreme cleans better. Shine is more or less same. Imo take the regular one which is more than enough.

2. In Regular use dilution 5ml in 1 litre water.

I found Xtreme to be more effective. You can start off with 5ml / liter and if required, you can +/- in subsequent sessions. Let us know your feedback.

It is one if the best I ever used.So neat and clean after the polishing .Love the product.Real value for money.

Real good finish I must say.
Did you apply the wax by hand or you used a buffer for application?

Hi KkVaidya

Thanks for the mail.Yes ,I did it with hand .An exercise for you as well .

But a very good product indeed.

Hi fellow BHPians,

I am looking to buy a polish/AIO for my 8 month old Terrano (bronze grey). Its in a decent condition as I wash it myself once in two weeks with Jopasu and ONR doing their duty during the hectic weekdays. Lately I have been noticing swirls and hard water spots at various places. I am looking for suggestions on the right product. Below are the ones that i have shortlisted so far:

Poorboys black hole - easily available
Autoglym SRP- really want to go for this but unable to find it
Meguiars Ultimate polish

I would be using Collinite 845 as LSP/sealant after the polish, hoping all the above ones would be compatible with it.

Thanks.

Collinite does not bond with AIO. So you need to look at solvent heavy sealant like black fire or four star upp to serve as LSP after the AIO

Hey Gurus, I have a slightly different requirement. Need suggestion for protecting my road bike. I bought a Btwin Riverside 3 Hybrid road bike. What diy sealant or compounds you recommend. Please consider the stickering on the cycle while recommending solutions as some seem to need abrasive coats first. Also would like to have suggestions on water less maintenance. I would prefer diy solutions by buying the stuff online.

Recommendations please.

For rinse less go with ONR or UWW. As for as a sealant is concerned, you have plenty of options just pick what suits you, you can refer to http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...-sealants.html.

Collinite 845 is as solvent heavy as other two mentioned here if not more.

Moreover when one uses a filler heavy polish like AG SRP or Blackhole, its better to use an LSP which has less solvents to preserve the fillers as much as possible.

Thank you Manju.
Did not know collinite was solvent heavy. But still it has problems in bonding with Aio.

Which sealant do you recommend to put on top of AIO?

Guy need some help with a gum issue. I had participated in one of the M&M's events, during which they had put the stickers on the doors. I was able to remove most of the sticker post the event. However, a good amount of gum is still there. Tried using Amorall wax and shine car wash as well as Armorall Liquid polish. But couldnt do much. Dint want to put too much pressure and result in some major damage to the paint. So any technique or products that can be used to clean this without any damage to the paint or clear coating. Else will have to get some professional help to clean it up.
