[asd123]

its meaningless unless advantages and disadvatges of various polish are described..

[szuberi]

its not meaningless.....its just a photo....and not everytime you see a description....if you cant figure out what is what...then you dont know much...lol

[bilal49er]

agree with szuberi

[levin]

i was more expecting people would ask what is that stuff or whatever.. instead of jumping back on me as if i made a wrong post:).

at least i am not going gaga in here over the new overpriced Honda Civic.

Its not a big deal buying a new car.. its how you keep an old car look like new.,, that shows one is true wheels fan.

[szuberi]

lol...this store has an amazing collection of air freshners..haha

and the only brands known to me in this store are the WD40 and the STP cleaners. Oh yeah...i remember brasso as well....used to clean my belt buckles with it to show off to some girls back in college..haha

@Levin

For what purpose is the WD-40 used?
And what are those STP Gas and Diesel things for in the second pic?

[robin]

naming it "car polish" and showing fuel cleaners too, and then justifying this approach, very technical thread, keep it up (y) i surely am out of it. thanks pals

[levin]

robin:
fuel cleaner was lying there with other stuff used to keep car in good condition, yr jumping on me since the post began as if i am showing a playboy magazine in post.

what do you want to do? change the name of post heading to car maintanance accessories?

sasifh.
STP treatment bottles are used for lubrications, cleaning , etc, when engines are used continously on gas,, same for diesel..

WD40 is pretty much universal , multipurpose lubricant used on mechanical parts.

Im curiuous as to why most people in Pakistan dont know how to use wax and dont know the difference between wax and polish. Polish removes a tiny layer of the cars paint to give it a gloss, shine and remove a few minor minor scratches. But wax puts a protective layer over the paint and this should be done AFTER polishing, I dont even suggest using polish on newer cars. And why is it I see people at petrol pump car washes getting their cars "polished" in the sun on the hot paint. They just rub it on and quickly rub it off. Waxing should be done in the shade, applied with the applicator bad and it should dry, THEN be buffed off. And there are different quality waxes, some last a month and some last 6 months. You can tell if a car has been properly waxed because the water "beads up" into one place. Just thought I would throw that information here =)

levin bhai nice pics. lots of kaam ka stuff. good.

@sasifh

WD-40 frees sticky mechanisms, loosens rusted parts, drives out misture etc. it also dissolves grease, tar, gum, adhesives etc.

[aridsoul]

This reminds me I need an Interior Spray Polish.

@levin:
sir with all due respect, IMHO the original post didn't state any technical information that's the sole purpose of having this forum, its just like that i visit used engine market and post a thread displaying engines all over places and with no description and call it a technical post, so this is my point. though i agree some ppl have posted some useful info thereafter in this thread, lastly i am not fond of jumping on any body. cheers

[gttx]

@levin. well said.

guys another place for a wide variety of Car Waxes, Gollssers, Car Washes is 'Essa Jee' in Kohsar market Islamabad. They have a huge variety. i got my whole kit from there.

Got chamois cloth from UAE, but i heard same can be found in saddar (dont know where but your driver would know). Good for absorbing water and buffing as well. Doesnt streak at all. its leather basically.

anyways here is a picture of my KIT

The balck bottle is for black bumpers found on old cars. i put this on my charades bumper. Then there is a polish for glass as well (its white liquid) you apply it and let dry a bit and then buff. supposedly it improves old windscreens but i cant find any difference between normal glint and this. so use it on old car. The engine clean is pretty neat but remember to cover your wires and sensitive parts and follow instruction on bottle. Rest you know they are.

it takes forever to upload even on DSL.
