I wax once in 6months and btw i dont mind bearing logistics charges because it would hardly come upto 50-100 bucks.

I wish you post me some cans,if you could.LOLz,who would mind more than just a decent gesture.:P

i noticed a discrepency in the color of the bonnet and the bumper,is it like that or does it appear that way due to waxing???,even in the picture above the bumper has a different color,i should look at my linea now,it didnt apper that way i beleive

I knew someone would ask it. Its due to Waxing with TurtleWax with amazing results. I did not apply it on Bumper as was not sure if waxing harms bumper or not. The difference & effect of waxing can be seen in the pics in the next post

Dear All : I have just recently done teflon coating on my Accent, I want to wax it on the coming Sunday. Is it advisable to wax it, a week after of teflon ? Should I go ahead ?

VP i really appreciate the pictorial presentation and wish all others to follow the same procedure in future for ease of understanding and the depth of understanding at the recieving end.

Thanks for your efforts to have taken time out of your waxing schedule for some real nice and useful pics.

Yash, teflon will give wet/shiny look.  Waxing is not required.
