Nice work !!!

Hard to believe that was after a couple of months

Nice work !!!

Hi Ronkh
Thanks for your kind words

in our world labour is cheap....do you know you can get your car wash and vacuum for just USD 2.5-3 ...in the hand of easy foreign labour....and no stringent control of VOC compliance...wash make available at every corner in the street.......(operators pay little under table $$ and get the permit covers to operate the business)

and surprisingly nobody (or owner) bother the material use or the wrong techniques!

eg

let me show you road side car wash

a well detailed car ..... and our car paint suppose to last as long as your car lasting...buttttttttttt

how can it became worn out & damaged in just 90 days (once a week wash - while having breakfast on sat morning)

check out the whole story here & how i did my wash

Car detailer: Optimum no rinse wash to test by KC (wash 2 car & waxed 1 in 60 minutes challenge) (http://thedetailers.blogspot.com/2010/04/optimum-no-rinse-wash-to-test-by-kc.html)



nice foam bubble aka SNOW WASH Boss

good - do you not know, how do they magically clean up yr white car so white...i happen to wait for fellow forumer & shock that they did it so openly

sabun fab - aka powder clothing detergent

http://lh5.ggpht.com/_LW0SC8XIpiA/TQnnOf0izdI/AAAAAAAAAI0/yZoIg6OzORA/s800/IMG_0216.JPG

nicely massage on to the paint - with a sponge that never wash or rinse (the fume when they clean the wheel - suffocates me while standing beside it taking pics)

the first 2 thing:-
driver still sitting in the car with running engine (under sunny day)
the hood is hot & the wheel is hotter & suddenly comes SNOW...danger to wearing out both car paint coat & wheels coat....brakes may get heat up to 200-300 degree Celsius
splashes of jet sprayed water & aggressive cleaner - help to shorten the life spent

http://lh4.ggpht.com/_LW0SC8XIpiA/TQnnGIpyOII/AAAAAAAAAIc/fIyjBp0WQ7I/s800/IMG_0220.JPG

more shocking - some medium & expensive car even lining up ...for a wash like these
