Formula 1 Carnauba Wax is a great product that I have been using for a while now to shine up the vehicles. Yeah, I know seeing my motorcycles shining are as rare as spotting an honest policeman, but, I do shine them up once in a while when I need some excercise. :P

I've found a simple way to make the most of this wax, shine up the vehicles with least amount of strain.

I first give the motorcycles a good water wash, with some soap. Get off all the greasy stuff, especially if you own one of those oil leaking Royal Enfields, this is all the more necessary. (As a side note: If your RE isn't leaking oil, please get it checked)
Then, apply the wax, using the sponge that they've provided, on all the parts that you wish to shine. You do not need to be too liberal with the amount of wax that you use. I just wet the sponge and hence the wax during this step in the process with a little water.
Then wait till it dries and just wipe the wax away in smooth actions using a soft cloth. Believe me old Baniyans rock in this department
Your done! Now you can ~~get back to the beer and TV~~ go out on a path breaking ride or atleast dream about it.

That's the best part about it. You do not have to sit and rub like there's no tomorrow and does a very decent job of shining up the vehicle.

Formula 1 is supposed to contain advanced micropolishers to remove minor scratches and haze while doing it's core job of making the vehicle shine.

Asking price: Rs.400 for the 340gms tub

I got it for: Rs.250 for the 340gms tub (probably available for lesser)

Date of purchase: Sometime in 2002 I think

Used since: 2002 – current

Used on: Motorcycles, cycles and car.

Available at: Most car accessories and motorcycle accessories shops. I picked it from a imported goods dealer in Arihant Plaza on Commercial Street.

2007 Update:

The wax is still going strong and I own one of those leaky Royal Enfields amongst others. Watch out for fakes, I've heard they've become availble. Must be due to the fact that you get to see this wax almost everywhere, the bane of being a popular brand.
