1. Car Shampoo

A car is exposed to a lot of elements as it goes about its daily grind. The sun, dirt, muck bird droppings, splattered bugs and a whole lot more. These are the natural adversaries for your prized possession. What you need is basically a good car shampoo to get your car back to its gleaming self. A Car Shampoo gently cleans, removes dirt, bird drops, road grim without damaging the painted surface. It is ideal for all paint finishes of
automobiles, such as metallic, Deco etc. and it can be used on cars and
motorcycles.

2. Cream Polish

Your vehicle's paint isn't smooth. It has a texture to it, and if it has been washed with harsh detergents and dried improperly, it may even have minor surface scratches. The advantage to using polishes after washing is that because they are slightly abrasive polishes will remove oxidized pa    int, remove minor scratches, and smooth imperfections in the paint. Where wax lays down a layer of protection, polish removes material to reveal clean smooth paint. The smoother the paint, the shinier the surface. Motomax cream polish is a unique combination of carnauba wax base and monopolizing agents, which gives a glossy and exceptionally smooth feel on the car surface. It is ideal for all paint finishes.

3. Dashboard Polish

To polish & clean a car dashboard is a fairly simple task. A car dashboard can make the inside look sparkling clean even if other aspects are dirty. A dashboard polish is specially formulated for restoring the shine of a dashboard, plastic and vinyl parts of a vehicle.

4. Seat and carpet stain remover

With our active lifestyles and the amount of time we spend in our cars, the average car interior is easy prey for a myriad of stains and odors.  Stain and odor removal is almost a science into itself.  Upholstery fabrics and carpets widely vary, as do the composition of stains.  However, there is a correct method and a suitable cleaner for most car interior problems. Cyclo Max clean contains special detergents that clean and restore color & appearance. With its deep-cleaning foaming action it works as a great spot carpet cleaner. Boosted with orange oil it is a natural cleaner and has a pleasant citrus fragrance. What it basically does is remove bad odors from the seat, covers, and carpets. It can be used on plastic, vinyl, carpet and fabric.

5. Motor Flush

Many oil-change chains offer extra services these days, from transmission fluid changes to air conditioning maintenance. One of the services an oil change technician might suggest next time you're in is an engine flush, which is exactly what it sounds like, it flushes the gunk out of your engine. Chemicals are poured into the engine, which is then gently idled for a few minutes to make sure the cleaning agent reaches everyplace oil would normally go. Then the chemicals are drained, just like the oil would be for an oil change. As a matter of fact, an engine flush is often performed after the old oil is taken out and before the new, clean oil is poured in.

A part of old oil always remains in the system, whenever an oil change is made.
Motor Flush helps remove power robbing deposits and enables free sticking valves
and rings. It dissolves gum, sludge, varnish from engine & oil pan and increases the life of new oil.
