    Teky, for DG products contact Sanjay from BBImpex. Google for him and shoot an e-mail asking for a quote. He also has a wide range of other detailing products which the website should tell. I bought my Collinite sealant wax from him. :)

    I used a normal Clay Bar, not the aggressive one. It is available on www.autofresh.in and is a product of InstaFinish USA also sold as Chemical guys.
    All hands on deck Bro :)

    Anyone with experience with portable pressure washers, could you please comment on the Karcher K 2.110?

    Karcher K 2.110 High Pressure Cleaners - Karcher: Flipkart.com

    I am looking at this specifically because I have a Flipkart gift coupon and no other pressure washer is currently available on Flipkart. It produces 100 bar pressure and requires 1300 w load. Is it good enough for car washing, especially removing all the muck trapped inside the wheel arches that can't be removed by the normal hose?

    Suggestions solicited.

    Hi Rituraj I am currently using Karcher K 2.100 (Check here) for the past 3 yrs & I am quiet happy with the result. But now there are cheaper products available in the market which gives the same result . Karcher is a good brand, but I am not sure about the availability of spares of service. I think Bosch also has some products in this range which is cheaper. Well it all depends on the discount coupon you are having. You need not worry about the product quality & I can assure you that.

    100 bar???? :shocked

    That's enough to blow the moon out of orbit dude.. its more than sufficient..
    It will be more than sufficient for washing the car (just be careful and not point it to anything resembling a human)
    But i've no idea about its reliability ... I've heard that Black and Decker stuff are good never heard of this brand though

    theblack Karcher is a world famous German brand with whole lot of products in their portfolio & it has got a great history. It is almost at par with Bosh. Kärcher is now colloquially used as synonymous with a cleaning system using high-pressure water, used to clean cars, outdoor equipment etc
    If time permits have a look - Karcher History here

    Does anyone know for certain whether the Linea / Punto stock alloys are clearcoated or not? Accordingly I need to select polish / sealant for them.

    How would you compare both the products? Especially as QDs.

    I have almost run out of ONR. Before placing an order I thought of getting an opnion from you about Duragloss RW.

    The lustre on the Linea ones does point to them being clearcoated. Haven't seen the Punto ones up close. Should be similar.
