Here is the car cleaning brush which I just recieved.
This can be connected into water hose for direct water cleaning.
seems good - yet to use

[nura]

Nice. I like. How much does it cost?

[nairrk]

Total Rs.349/- (less 5% discount voucher from ebay).
(Normal cost RS.299 + Rs.50 packing and shipping cost).
Seller has got 2 or 3 different models which you can seen in the link (see post no.286)

[nura]

Thanks. Any idea what dia rubber pipe you will need to fix it to?

[sanjayc]

Nairji, are u planning to wash the car body with this? Don't you think it is slightly risky to use..if some thick/solid particle gets stuck in the spongy surface, it may scratch the surface.

normal hose (1/2 inch), which used to connect to water tap (1/2 inch)
can be connected with this duster.

No - I may not use this for car body. For full body washing, I found the Jopasu magic wipe is much easier and can finish the job very quickly.

However this Duster can be used to clean the alloys/rim/ mud flops etc (those places are not comfortablly reachable to our hand). Since this duster has a long handle and with water spraying, cleaning in these areas will be much easier and faster?

On seeing this thread and the overall performance of Fiesta so far, I am bit eager to pick one Fiesta TDCi. I thought of picking a good second hand in the range of 4-5 lakh. Since Figo is to come, I am in a dilemma now.

Do you want to know more about Fiesta - go to the other thread
''all fiesta owners - you are here''. This thread has grown up fast and crossed over 100 pages hence it was closed, but still you can view it

@Abhi_s80

Tthanks your PM
Do you mean Rs.7.7L on road for SXI including freebies like Free Insurance, mud flaps,mats,teflon coating,sunfilm,idol, perfume, number plate etc?? seems good bargain

Suggestion- instead of teflon coating, you may ask for underbody anti rust coating?

Thanks Sir. I still need to check on few things before signing on the dotted line:
Teflon - Is it realy Teflon, or some kind of wax.
Anti Rust - Under negotiation. Hope to bag it soon
Mats - I checked, and they are all BLACK. I need to see the FORD logo
I am using my corporate discount quota here, so prices may be special
I think Insuance is still free, from FORD, though my 'consultant' did say "I would get it done for you, Sir !"
I am still negotiating few more accessories, the price list @ "you are here" thread is very helpful

All Mumbai / Chennai / Kolkata owners - One word answer please - Which of these to g for : Teflon, or Anti Rust ?

To round up, I am looking for a SXi Petrol.

[sanjayc]

Abhi, are you getting the 3M or Waxoyl treatment for teflon/anti rust?

Normally, the offering by dealers is paint-protection & anti-rust. My suggestion would be as follows:
- Anti-rust underbody coating
- Anti-Cavity (spray coating inside door panels, other areas)
- Motor-care (protective spray under the bonnet/engine compartment)
- Paint Protection (also sometimes referred to as teflon coating by those ignorant saleguys - this is really not needed, but if you are getting only as part of a packaged deal with no additional cost, go for it)

[Gilead]

Go for the underbody rust protection coating and the paint protection. I don't think the other things add too much value. The paint protection is especially good. My car still gleams like it did on the day of delivery.

@Abhi_s80

Is this the floor mat you are talking about??



This is original Ford mat- black colour!

3M. Thanks to the forum, I have an excel sheet tracking both vendor and brand names, where applicable

I am also interested in Paint Protection, the ' annual ' cost though seems high ( approx 3.5 k) . I am bargaining on that, still. Right now,the deal is 'one time' only, has to be redone every 6 months

Thanks. I would be careful to not get fooled here. And this proves that the most important car accessory is a good camera / camcorder

Apologies for a late revert, I was busy being a social animal over the weekend :-)

These days, my commute time is spent counting Fiestas on road ( and there are so many ! ) and observing "dust factor". Hence ruled out Black and Morello, believing that with Mumbai's ever ongoing construction, a lot more dust shows up as against a White, or a Silver. Still, I am gravitating towards the third 'dark' option, of Sea Grey. Maybe I would change my avatar name to "The Dark Knight' or 'Shades of Grey' once I get my Fiesta

I still have to get Home Minister's approval though, who fancies the White!
