Are you serious, just Rs. 1550 for 2 bottles of 845? Had been following many sites & ultimately bought from Ultimate Detailerz website for Rs.. 1995 for 1 bottle. Best wax!
I have 845 & Chemical Guys Blitz spray sealant (Recommended by a detailing expert) bought after seeing his Tiago being treated by these items.

Guess i was not clear.
I mentioned Rs 1550 x2 = Around 3100. Around 5 years back collinite used to be around sub 1k iirc.

Get the wolfgang hand applicator & a bottle of scratch X - quick way to tackle minor scratches by hand for the time being.

You can buy the same Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 from Paytm Mall for INR 1,200 and can get a cashback of 240 which makes its a VFM Purchase. I bought this wax back in July for 1,200 and got 180 cashback.

The quality of wax is pretty good and I have used only once till now when I detailed my car during 1st week of September and it holds the shine till now. You just need to apply a thin coat of this wax and I am sure this can last for atleast 2 years.

You mean that the bottle will last for 2 years right? because the wax (and technically Meg's NXT 2.0 is a synthetic sealant) may last for about 2 months at most.

Thank you for this. I just ordered one now as it seems VFM at a sub 1k price.

Obviously, I meant the can which may last for 2 years. As you said, the wax once applied may last for 2 months as my last application is almost 2 months back and just now started to fade.

Got these goodies from PBMG, USA. :)

Any suggestions on how to clean fabric car seats ? Has anyone tried baking soda to clean it as i read somewhere that it works well and does not seep inside seats.

Best way is to use a wet vacuum like this:

But if that is not possible, I have had good results (removing the surface stains and dirt) with Meg's Carpet & upholstery cleaner.

Tested out Meguiars tech wax 2.0 on half the bonnet. Water beading is good and there is a nice noticeable shine on the portion that was waxed. Nothing earth shattering but then i also applied it just after a shampoo and no pre-treatment of polish etc. My car is also silver with no major paint fade yet too as its just over 3 years old and has spent 2 years parked in basement during the weekdays when i take it to work. Please see the video in HD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3GQ...ature=youtu.be

Spent 3 hours today to get the shine back - had been either lazy or occupied over the last few weekends, and dusty conditions ensured a dirty car.

Steps:

• Water wash
• Snow foam (valet pro ph neutral snow foam + mesto pump action foamer) followed by rinsing
• Tire (Verso APC + mother's tire brush) and wheel (Valetpro bilberry wheel cleaner + mother's wheel brush + daytona speed master wheel brush) cleaned
• Shampoo (Gtechniq G wash + meg's MF mitts) followed by rinsing
• Towel dry with DC blue giant
• Meg's tech wax 2.0 for body and wheels
• Finishkare top kote for tires

Any users of Sonax car polish ? or should i get the Meguiars ultimate polish which costs double ? looking to clean up the minor scratches, swirls etc before using the Meguiars wax on the car as i guess using a polish before waxing will enhance the look and shine.

Meguiars Ultimate Polish anyday. For double the price it is 3-4 times better than the Sonax polish.
The shine it gives and minor swirl removal is second to none.

Actually there isn't a better hand application polish in the world that you can buy.

Just a kind suggestion.
The Ultimate Polish needs to be worked in longer than other polishes. Not excessive arm pressure, but the time. You won't be disappointed with the result.

I had bought a 250 ml sonax car polish back in 2010. The original stuff made in Germany. Half a bottle of the same is still with me - that's how less I have used. That stuff practically has no cut whatsoever when used by hand.

Please get the Meg's Ultimate Polish as suggested by NOS Power - it's better than the sonax.

Also - I have had good results (using DA machine) with Sonus Paintwork Cleanser Prewax Polish & Carpro Fixer.
