Do online bumper offers and ads tempt you? This may interest you..

Do online bumper offers and ads tempt you? This may interest you..

It is very natural to get carried away with tempting offers and ads, but it is also a fact that best things can never be sold on negligible amount.

Discounts tempt all of us but if they are believable. These days lot of online market places/websites are trying fully fledged marketing gimmicks to attract more and more visitors but we all know that best things can never be sold on negligible amount. 

The very common practice is to hike product price with 100% and then providing discounts of some percent which actually cost clients more than the actual MRP. So, trust the genuine websites which may not offer you too much discounts but the one with real and possible discounts and a quality product that worth your money.

Monsoon Tips For Your Car


  1. Check-up and Servicing :
    Pre-Monsoon servicing is the most essential thing to do. Your car must have gone through scorching heat during long drives during the summer. Hence, it is important to make it ready to face clogged, watery roads in heavy traffic zones which come naturally with the rains. Ensure safe drive during the Monsoons.
  2. Protect your car’s Paint:
    Do get a wax coating done just before the rains hit, to protect your cars paint from the rain. Alternate wet and dry spells can cause the paint to fade and peel.
  3. Check your cars' headlights and taillights:
    To eliminate the worst cases of headlight degradation, yellowing, oxidation, and scratches. Ensure that these are working properly as during a heavy downpour; visibility is poor, not only for you but also for the driver behind you.
  4. Keep a portable vacuum cleaner handy:
    You cannot avoid that excess amount of water going inside your car during the rains. Mostly, the seat covers get affected by it. Prolonged dampness on the covers may cause foul smell and quality loss of the seat covers. To avoid it, vacuum-clean the seat to wipe away the dampness. Then put good absorbent tissues/papers on them. If you have a shaded place, keep the car doors open for few minutes to air-dry the interior and remove any smell. 
  5. Get a car perfume:
    Foul smell is literally a headache for the automobile lovers during the monsoon. Moisture creates mould which is not hygienic either. Humidity worsens the situation. In this case, always keep a good pleasant smelling perfume in the car. Check your carpets and mats for the odour.
  6. Use old seat covers and mats or disposable mats especially for the monsoon:
    What’s the point in spoiling brand new expensive covers anyway? You can also remove the mats completely for the season and try the disposable ones. 
  7. Cover the Car body with water proof car covers:
    Always park your car with car covers to Keep your vehicle cooler, dryer, dust free, water proof & protect your car from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation, acid rain etc.
  8. Avoid skidding:
    Replace cracked tires, check air pressure and make sure the wheels are properly balanced and aligned. This will prevent your car from skidding on a wet road. This is all the more necessary when the first shower arrives.
  9. Check the brakes:
    Make sure that your car brakes are well-oiled and are working properly. You never know when you may have to hit the brakes on a wet, slippery road.
  10. Frame protection from rust and corrosion:
    Your car’s metal frame protects the internal components from moisture. So keep it clean and scratch-free to avoid corrosion. As you are well aware, water corrodes metal.

Apply a wax or sealant after polishing.

Is Your Car Ready for HOLI Colours..??

FESTIVAL COLOURS

Holi Colours: How to Protect and Clean Your Car during Holi festivities



Holi is a festival of colour and cheer, but one that can leave owners of shiny white cars with multi-coloured heartburn. If you love your car you better make sure it’s well protected from the raucous festivities, as not everyone uses dry natural colours to "Play Holi".

It’s a pretty common sight a day after Holi to see white cars with blue, pink and purple stains all over them. And it’s even worse when the car’s upholstery and interiors get soiled by Holi colours, as this is very difficult to clean without damaging the car. What should I do to protect my car from colours of Holi? Will the colour remain permanently on my car? How do I remove that ugly stain? Are a few questions which impatiently arise in minds of all, whether it is you or me.

Here are some tips to protect your car from the Holi onslaught as well as some to clean up any accidental mess that may happen.

Protecting your car from Holi colours :

1.   Cover the car, don’t use it

The most common-sense way of protecting your car from Holi is obviously not using your car on this festive day. Just keep it parked away safely and if you have a Car Cover, this would be the ideal time to use it and keep your prized possession under wraps.

2.   Apply wax polish before Holi

However, if you live in a complex where it’s hard to avoid being part of the Holi celebrations, take some precautionary measures before the festival. Wash and clean the car and then apply a good coat of Wax on the car. The wax will prevent colours from soaking into the top-coat of the paint. If your car was recently “Teflon” coated, that too would do.

For further protection, especially if you think just waxing is not going to be enough, use kitchen wrap or “cling film” over vulnerable areas especially over the door handles, boot lid, bonnet and fenders – areas where people are likely to lean on or touch your car during the festivities. It may look a little ridiculous wrapping your car in cling film a day before the festival, but it will save you a lot of trouble later

3.   Protecting the interiors

If the car is going to be used on Holi, then you better take some precautions for the interiors as well. Disposable car seat covers & floor mats is a very good option to protect the car interiors If that’s not possible, use old curtains or terry towels you may have at home and drape them around the seats, using safety pins to keep them in place. Wrap things like inside door handles, the steering wheel and gear knob in cling film or food wrap to prevent colour getting on it.
How to remove Holi colour stains from your car

Despite all the precautions, sometimes your car can still become a victim of the festivities. If your car does get some color on it, don’t fret, there are still ways of cleaning up the mess.

First Wash and Clean the car using only water and a good car shampoo. Don’t use household detergent or dish cleaning liquid, as they are very harsh and will remove the polish film from the car’s surface as well.. With some chemical Holi colours, this may be needed as they will eat into the car’s finish


If the damage to the paint is deeper, you may need to resort to more extreme measures to remove the colour. The first step is to use a Rubbing Compound depending upon the car condition (Meg Diamond Cut, IF Super Cut, Formula 1 Scratch-Out etc) Gently rub this over the affected paint Buff it off with a dry Microfiber cloth. Repeat if there’s still some stain left.

Once you’ve managed to get the colour stain out, immediately wash the area with clean water, dry it with Drying Towel and then apply thick Wax Polish over the car again to protect the paint finish.(Meguiar’s Polish/Glaze, Mothers Polishing Glaze)

If your car upholstery has been stained due to Holi colours, it is much more difficult getting it out (Meg Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, Formul 1 Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, Xtra Duty Plus etc..) For leather upholstery, you can Leather Cleaners and a Soft Brush to work up a foam and clean it. Then use a leather Conditioner to protect it. For fabric upholstery, you will require a “dry-cleaning” process done, but that too won’t get all the colour out. You may have to change your seat covers.  


Please always remember not to panic because after all this festival is meant to spread joy. Thus enjoy and so do let others. Good luck and Happy Holi. Play Safe!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year


His eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
and the beard on his chin was as white as the snow.

Wheel & Tyre Care

Wheel & Tyre Care


Maintenance of painted, anodized and clear-coated aluminum   wheels is not much different than cleaning body paint.

Wheels pickup alot of road grit and abrasives which could scratch your paint. Wheel Arches are the inner area that surrounds the wheels & tyres and so any dirt and comtaiments picked up from the road surface by will be deposited on them quickly too. As well as pickig up dirt from the road 

The wheels get covered and with in the arch itself and these will work better and last longer if kept free from the build up of harmful containments.

Tyres also pickup and carry all the same dirt & containments that the wheels do. It is impotant to properly clean and dress your tyres as this helps to prevent the tyre walls from fading, cracking and degrading due to the sun and water from the road surface.

So a strong alkaline based wheel/tyre cleaner is needed to break the bond between dirt, tar, brakedust and wheels to creep under the surface to loose the dirt. When caring for your wheels it is important that you have the proper products and tools. We recommend maintaining your wheels with a Automotive wash cleaner and water with a dedicated wash mitt, every time you clean your vehicle (1 to 2 weeks). Thorough cleaning of your wheels and adding layer(s) of protection should be done every 2 to 3 months. It is also important to know what type of wheels you have so you use the proper products on them. If you have factory alloy wheels, chances are they have a layer of clear coat on your wheels. This makes things easy because you can use a variety of wheel cleaners without worrying about oxidizing your wheels finish. You can also treat them like you would your clear coat on your paint, which means you can wash clay, polish and protect your wheels.

Some wheels need extra cleaning power such as chrome wheels and those made of roughcast metals. In this case, strong cleaners like Mothers® Foaming Wheel&Tire Cleaner can be employed. Take extra care to prevent the cleaner from coming into contact with other parts of the car, and don't let it sit too long before hosing off. Be sure your wheels are chrome or roughcast, because Chrome Wheel Cleaner can damage clear-coated and painted wheels. When doing chrome wheels, you can chase the cleaner with a chrome polish to properly finish the job..

Your wheels should be completely cool when you start to clean them. If you have been out driving, even just a little bit, give them ample time to cool down before using any cleaner on them. You can spray them down with water to help them cool down but it may take some additional time for them to reach air temperature so you can begin cleaning. Clean the wheels in the shade whenever possible to avoid water marks or rinse them frequently while in direct sunlight.

Polish:

Polishing your wheels can help increase the depth and gloss of your wheels as well as remove minor surface imperfections. If your wheels have a clear coat on them, then you can treat them the same as you would polishing your paint. If your wheels consist of bare metal, such as the lip of your wheel, you can polish them using a metal polish to increase gloss and depth and remove minor imperfections.

Leather Care

About Leather Care


Leathers are made of animal skin. Leathers are breathable, nondurable.

Mainly protected/Topcoated leather comes in super luxury cars. This is the most common leather type and is issued in over 95% of interiors. The leather has a uniform appearance and color with a definate pattern(grain).

You cannot see any natural leather markings through the top coatings because a pigmented leather paint coat is applied to the surface. It is then sealed with adurable finish. If properly maintaines this finish will provide years of durability, Identofying chatecteristics of pigmented/Painted leather: uniform color and grain patterns will not scratch easily, water dropped on to the surface will not change the color of the leather.

Their enemies are dirt, dust, oil & sweat from the human body.This will cause leather to brake down, age and discolor surfaces. Detergents will damage and leather by dissolvingy the the protective coating causing the material to prematurely lose its sheen, dry and crack.

To prevent this happening always use a mild NON-Solvent based cleaner to clean the leather to avoid discoloration from any chemical containment.

How To Care:

    Leather can be virtually indestructible if treated properly. With a little bit of care and attention, your new leather will last well into vintage age and your vintage leather will continue to have a long happy life. Improper care or cleaning can crack and dry leather skins, removes finishes and colors. Keeping leather away from chemicals, heat, and humidity are key. If leather is like skin, think of its care as anti-aging; if you wouldn't put it on your own skin, it probably isn't very good for the leather either.
    choose a leather conditioner that is solvent-free, because it will penetrate deeply and won’t evaporate – which means you won’t have to reapply as frequently. To take best care to your leather, Neutral pH makes it mild and it’s safe to skins or leather and will keep the leather supple and shiny.
    The most important things to remember about leather is not to get it soiled, soaked, or let it dry out. Despite the fact that all of these things can be rectified to some extent, it is helpful to not let leather get into such a condition in the first place. Proper storage, cleaning, and conditioning will keep leather looking as good as new no matter how old it is.

In general products that clean and condition in one bottle are not as effective as a separate cleaner and conditioner. The trade off with using separate products is that it can cost more and they may take more time to apply. If interested in just a leather cleaner we recommend the Leatherique Prestine Clean & Mothers Leather Cleaner.

For conditioning, Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Sealer Treatment. Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil , Insta Finish Leather Conditioner & Restorer &, Mothers Leather Coditioner.. If you want to clean and condition in one bottle the Meguiars Leather Cleaner& Conditioner  The choice is yours.
