QUOTE(evolution120 @ Dec 11 2013, 02:00 PM) why say so? any detailing from groupon are mass marketed, the results you can search for yourself in this forum.shine shine has like over 400 outlets? they go for quantity, not quality. detailing takes time, time is not cheap. detailing products also not cheap. so it comes down to this: do you honestly think detailing services are that cheap? |

I'd think of these Groupon sellers as a way to bring your car to a 'better' condition, more than a petrol station car wash is capable of doing. Think of the comparison between a handmade watch and a mass-manufactured one and the price you pay for them.well, i did read some posts from other members saying those services from groupon is a rip off, but the 1 i saw was shine shine, so im not sure about the quality. afterall, its a kinda well known brand in malaysia.

I dont know why people go for groupon if they looking a very good quality.
If they want CHEAP, dont ever expect how good it will be. Good thing do not come CHEAP, I am not suggesting to go very expensive one,but at least moderate cost. |

Normal...for this situation I'd normally start with normal wash with double the shampoo dilution...or mix 1oz of APC into the shampoo mix. I'd also have my spray wax in hand to top up afterwards. |
