Optimum Kenari

[KC@detailien]

is it time to wax now??





are we there yet??asked donkey to shrek




When Shrek and Fiona come back from their honeymoon, they find an invitation to a royal ball with Fiona`s parents to celebrate their marriage, an event Shrek is reluctant to participate in. Fiona talks him into it, and along with Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy), they travel to the kingdom of Far Far Away



so r we there yet?.....:rolleyes:

wash 10 minutes



sealed 10 minutes



waxed 10 minutes



a total of 30 minutes...for my monthly detail...



time equal to $$ = lack of car care also equal to loses of $$$



I need to confess, i wasnt a good in taking care my car lately, 1st wash after 3 weeks...due to tight schedules



begin with ONR optimum no rinse wash with 3 micro fibers....diluting 1 ounce with 8 litres of water...

If I were to tell my grandma...she is probably 95 years now, that i can fried an egg without oill, she will probably...spanked my head with the frying pan ...as she will probably says...i have cooked all my life...cooking without oil cant work ..... same goes here... washing without rinsing ..... not logical right???? ....but thanks to teflon...coated cooking ware...with minimal oil ...now we can fried an egg...without burning it....



technologies play a big part...making our lives easier & better



http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RsduO4BD4FA/S8M_3EKwK_I/AAAAAAAAHOU/YcsJ5DkX2rw/s800/P1040258.JPG



simple logic behind this formula is , ONR creates the water tension who hold up the dirt into the microfibers (like a collector) & upon rinsing the dirt will be held down by the suspenssion of ONR.......and dirt actually held & drop to the bottom of it as onr suspense it....

where as when we clean with just water & cloth...we are scratching the surface instead washing it, but ONR clean well...





after ONR no rinse wash
