It's 3M Paint protection treatments - protection, beautification & surface enhancement.  But it bascially gives a wet/shiny look that gradually wears-off in 2-2.5 years.  The money can be better utilised - say, in antirust treatment.

@Apkrishna : Teflon coating is wax kinda colour protection coating done on the whole car (minus bumpers). I got it at Rs 1200 for 2 coatings in 1 year.

Pankaj where can we seek paint protection and enhancement?

How much it might cost?

I find the Body shop guys doing the job in hurry so cant really rely on them for the money that might go for enhancement!




Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Yash, it is also done on bumpers.

Abyshines, the 3M paint protection/enhancement I have referred above is popularly known as teflon coating.  It would cost - for SX4 (big/your car) - approx. 3K.  Your dealer / accessory shop / garage can arrange for it.  It comes with 2 free/subsequent coats - in the 5-6th & 10-12th month.

@Amit/Vahanpujari: How much the Turtle wax costed and where did you got it from?

I tried to hunt arround in Blore, but everyone thought I am an odd turtle out there

It costed me rs. 250/- & I also faced difficulties in finding it. Actually I was looking for Turtle Platinum series wax. Could not get it anywhere. Found this last bottle in a shop at Opera House Mumbai

Vahanpujari, i need one suggestion from you.

I bought Turtle wax (online from xenos website) - the product is listed here (2nd from top). I read you use hard shell, can you please tell me if this wax is ok to use once a month.

Ravi,

I was actually looking for Platinum Series Turtle Wax. Since I could not get it, I bought Super Hard Shell. While I opened the link you posted, the product details were not poping up. But is seems this product is perfectly fine. Xenos is the Auto Distributor for Turtle wax in India.

Just check there is no word related to Polish, Cleaning agent etc on the bottle
