Dont underestimate a product just because its turtle wax or armorall, etc. Yes it is an enrry level brand and they do make pointless, pathetic products but they also make some very very good products like turtle has its ice spray detailer and shampoo which are outstanding. These give mothers and meguiars a run for their life. Their ice liquid clay is pointless (doesnt even pass the baggy test). Their ice clay lube is shampoo water which causes marring if you apply too much force.

Similarly, armorall makes the best tire foam I have come across. Reaally good. Though their wax is junk.

Turtle liquid clay is a great product. I have positive reviews in its favour. Note : It is not a replacement for a clay bar, it is a superb pre wax cleaner, that is easy to use and effective..Liquid clay bar is a 3 phase liquid which contains strong cleaning agents, lubricants and soft clay polishing agents. The combo of the cleaning agents and lubricants allow it to strip off the old finish, remove embedded dirt that is stuck into the paint . Note : You have to use it with pressure, I mean dont just swipe the cloth on car, insert force and swipe while forcing it towards the surface. As per my experience, panel to panel is the way to go. After using LC on 1 panel , rinse the panel with water along with a clean MF cloth to completely remove the LC from the panel. Just rinsing with water would not rinse off the LC completely.
NOT to forget Liquid clay is the STEP 1.. Step 2 is the Clay Bar. So its not to be used alone and make a review about it.. It needs to be followed by a bar. Now after both steps the car finish is super clean!! and would secure 1st position in the baggy test !.

P.S : The bottle needs to be shaked very very well to mix the 3 layers. And shaken each time you pour the Liquid on the cloth or directly to the panel..
The panel needs to be wet , before using LC. Never use it on dry panels..

Guys there were some numbers written on headlight of my fathers toyota Rush...i used thinner to remove it and now it had left some stains...how do i remove it????

Plz reply fast....

Preety sure by using thinner youve gone through plastic finish......whyd you use thinner? Its just a flimsy marker writing.....heck use somthing mild......even with plast x youd have gone through it in a matter of seconds. Do check if you are able to restore the glossy finish back....otherwise....wetsand an then buff it out with a plastic abrasive. An try to come here an get advice before you indulge in these detailing practices....or holler on 0332-430-1100 an Ill give you a head up! Happy recovery fella !

Excellent combo ehsan bhai!
MashAllah the car is reflecting the hard work you have put in it. The results are like it has gone through a full detail session.
How was your experience with CG m seal compared to dp poli seal

Thanks for the appreciation bro..MASHALLAH.. I havent used M-Seal,, I have CG Xtreme Top Coat Sealant with 3X carnuba. Which I bought after being impressed by CG 3X Hardcore wax. CG Xtreme sealant is a pretty good sealant which is expected to last good 5 - 6 months if applied and taken care of properly.Application and removal is pretty easy.. On the other hand DP is DP.. That lasts around 1 year. DP Poli Coat on my Dad's corolla is holding pretty strong. Waisay abhi sirf 2 months hi huay hein , but still!! Poli Coat needs to be applied Panel by Panel, and a haze time of 1.5 - 2 mins max per panel. Otherwise its tough to remove Plus it hazes very quick and as instructed it just needs to be lightly hazed before removal.. My experience was best when less than 2 mins hazing time was given. I applied with a DA polisher.

i know i messed up pretty badly ...someone on PW advised to use thinner to remove marks from windscreen and rear window, so i figured it would also work on headlight too...i didn't had any other product to clean those marking and glint wasn't working on it...Next time i would get some suggestions before trying anything...
Lesson learned hard way
can i just use Plastic X or Megs ultimate compound to remove these marks???

Washed car with turtle zipwax wash using double bucket method

Dried the car using turtle drying towel

Meguires swirl x
Sonax black liquid shine polish
Meguires ultimate paste wax
For interior used meguires ultimate detailer

Pics are as follows. I just had one problem even though the shine is mirror like still when approached closely one feels the swirls. I need the precious opinions of dear members that do I have to start from using a cutting cream followed by compounding and further go on step wise till Sealent or just start from compounding.

MASHALLAH...nice work... keep it up and be regular... If swirls and scratches are deep and can be seen in easily in light than go for Compound, polish, sealant and waxing.. if there are very light swirls can be seen in light or by closeup shot than no problem, keep an eye on them time to time and note it not to increase in numbers. if you see any difference than you can go for compound and polish. But kindly not to do compound every month or two.. it will decrease the life of paint and clear coat because of abrasiveness....

Bought this shampoo is this good one?????

[Ehsan4808]

Turtle F21 products are good. Yes Indeed this would turn out to be a good purchase. Always read instructions on how to use. Dilute it accordingly as instructed and you,ll get the desired results.. Remember!! Less Sudds (Jhaag) never means that the shampoo is not a good one. Judge the shampoo by its cleaning abilities not like kids who love a sudds bomb!!..

BTW whats the retail price for this 1.89 Liters of Shampoo ?
