Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() I used the 3M liquid wax for about 4 times over a year and then got the Turtle Super Hard shell finish wax 3 months ago. Based on my experience, Turtle wax is a better product for a similar price. Much easier to use, lasts long and is easy on pocket too. ![]() Unlike the 3M one, it doesn't dry to a hard crust and is easier to polish it off. My last application was 2.5 months ago. Since then, the car has covered 6k kms and has been exposed to 1 long drive in rain, 6 water washes and lot of dust. The shine still remains and I could the hydrophobic effect today during the 7th waterwash today. Last edited by ashis89 : 23rd January 2021 at 21:58. |

| ![]() I have the turtle wax ice seal n shine which I haven't used yet. Is it a good idea to use after PK waterless wash or should I use it after a proper wash and a claying session? My car is just a month old. |

Washing->Claying->Polishing->Sealent/Coating .Thats reccomended. However, it's not a hard and fast rule. It can be used but the durability will be less than optimal. A waterless wash is aimed at removing light dirt not to be used as a base for preparing the paint for a sealant. | |

| ![]() Hello all. I took delivery of my Nexon a couple of days back. While cleaning before delivery, the cleaning person left a couple of dirty fingerprint smudges on the interior door pad fabric and near the sun visor. When I pointed out, they tried removing it, but it didn't go away. It's been two days, and I am worried that the marks will become permanent. Can someone. suggest a way to remove them? I am not deeply Informed on detailing concepts. ![]() |

I didn't realize how difficult it is going to be to maintain white interiors. I want to have something available with me all the time to get rid of smudges like these whenever it happens. Is there any truth to what the cleaning guy said; that the foam should be applied to the whole fabric area every time instead of topically to avoid boundary marks between foam applied and non-foam applied areas? Would really appreciate some beginner's advise on maintaining white fabric interiors. I have started reading this thread from page 1, it is a daunting task, but I love my car too much to let the page count get in my way. Let's see. Meanwhile, would be grateful for a quick tip | |

It depends on the area where the stain is and how visible is it to the naked eye. Keeping an interior cleaner handy will surely help to remove stains as soon as you spot but sooner or later your patience will give up and you might stop cleaning them every time. Trust me it will happen. The logic of applying foam everywhere to avoid boundary marks makes sense but it is an impractical approach. You end up having a wet interior which would require a lot of time to dry and might stink of not dried properly. The solution I see to all your problems is either stop paying attention to minor stains and get the fabrics cleaned once every 6 months OR get seat covers which will take care of the majority of the fabric in your vehicle. For the door panels and all, an interior cleaner will suffice. For tough stains, I suggest you get a generic APC from a good brand and keep it handy in the diluted form so that you can clean the tough stains as and when you spot it. | |

Maybe you should have refused the car until the damage, which is what it is, was put right. If the stain is not removable, let them replace the parts. Seriously, the dealership has damaged your new car and should pay the price. On the other hand, if you are not wanting to make a consumer issue out of it, and it might cost you some raised blood pressure (demanding our rights is sometimes just not worth it) then please go to a specialist detailer. Trying this fluid and that product might just make things worse. | |
