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?

never been to these kind of places before, so totally no idea about it.

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 assume?)

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.

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.

It is not into clear coat yet. I can rub it off easily with finger. I guess it is air pollution that being down by rain.

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.
