bro i bought German made micro fibre towels from SACA however they have from Turtle too.

[devilz_apprentice]

@pico, look for micro-fibre towels from MA-Fra product line. they are available with filter house.
Also, there are some German brand micro-fibre towels at saca autos. They are available for for rs. 300 a set of 3. But i reckon that MA-Fra's towels are much better.

brother is Ma-Fra microfibres available from SACA autos ???


todaiy i finaly found mothers step2 from f10 shahid autos,,, he has recently imported a vareity mothers products, inluding all 3 steps,fx synthetic,car wash,interior cleaners,etc.....if anyone is intrested he can purchase from there.,,,, but still no microfibres.

[pico]

yup ill definetly share the final reults,,,, at the moment i have step2 and step3,,,, thinking to buy step1...... need suggestions about it........

[Subzwari]

just picked up some good reviews about it from international forums...i think it all worth going for right from step 1 -3....I am planning to buy Step 1 & 2...have very minor scratches and bit rough surface on my 8 months old...will use tech wax 2 to seal off the finish...i hope the chemistry of step 2 and tech wax are compatible...
whats the price of step 1...is it available at shahid autos or makro lahore?
Can this Step - 1 & 2 be applied with hands effectively and harmlessly ? dont have a polisher.

[Subzwari]

product; armorall car wash concentrate

bought from metro
cost around rs 250
very good product. cleans the body well. it makes the paint clean and shiny, it makes the surface perfect for waxing. and if you use it on a waxed car , the paint will still make beads of water after use. 10/10. and really gud value for money as turtle zip wash was 400 rs.

bought it from metro Isb...i think for 300 or 350...found it good...i had heard metor isb stored mother's products as well...didnt find any....

[pico]

@ subzwari

step1 is available at shahid autos, didnt ask the price.

yes it can be applied by hand, infact it is much more safe to do it by hand because you can apply more pressure this way and also the buffing machine if not used properly can cause severe damage to the paint due to some strong chemicals present in step1, but it is completely safe to do by hand.

Product =formula 1 scratch out liquid

price=Rs 350

Rating= 0000000

good points= Nil

Bad points= Doesnt remove even the slightest scratches, cant be used as a compound

Assumption= Didnt work at all for me, Not recommended to any one..

just use to get some clean wheel cups.....or the painted inner side of the cars doors.....thats all ive found it useful for

[pico]

...

guys any reviews on mothers step1 ..........

...

[fahadsoulsnatcher911]

I also had had n luck with the scratch out
occasionally use it for cleaning my fone's back cover

[stingray]

@pico
Step-1 is a dewaxer and safe for use on any finish provided its applied in the right quantity. De-waxing can be required due to a number of reasons which may include too many wax applications and not getting desired results because of wrong quantity of product applied OR lotta product residue left after few months of consistant waxing OR having the wrong sort of wax stuck on ur car and specially in places u wana take it off from like nooks n corners etc.

An application per 6 months is a safe figure for dewaxing, after this apply the product and treatment of ur desire to achieve perfection and then put in a maximum effort to keep it that way.

@subzwari

Step2 + Tech wax should be a good combo, unfortunately i havent come across this combo before so cant comment, just hope that the natural elements in step 2 dont come into conflict with the synthetic polymer chemistry of the tech wax.
