Well, don't expect any help from a guard... Best is to inform the management of the car wash service and even give them feedback that their practices arent exactly good from a car enthusiast point of view. If there's no help, try writing a letter to our local publications/motoring sections as if they get published, the motring public will become aware on that (since a lot just don't know).
From my experience, so far a friendly smile accompanied with a "no thanks" usually gets them to leave my car alone (*fingers crossed*). Natatawa nga ako when they offer to wax para kumintab and i just waxed the car earlier in the day. :P

Pero, they should not be scattered all around the parking area where they can harass potential customers and screw up their parking. Instead, they should be stationed in the parking office. Tapos, when a customer asks for car cleaning, doon lang sila ide-deploy ng parking management.

I think this is the most reasonable idea. The fact na baka mabitawan din nila yung kariton nila sa downhill ramp. Sa ganitong systema Safe sila at ang mga kotse.
Pero hard selling nga sila so baka hindi din pumayag ang mga may ari ng mobile carwash.
if its bikini carwash at the mall i believe peoples reaction would be different

dapat nga alisin na ang mga yan, pag gamit ko yung 1994 na L200 ko, di ako nilalapitan, parang nilalayuaan pa ako eh. Pag CRV naman ang gamit ko, kulang na lang sila magbukas ng pinto ko.

August 17th, 2007 09:39 AM #27Gaano kalalim yung gasgas doon sa plastic casing ng side mirror mo? Can you feel it with your fingernails? Kung hindi mo makapa sa kuko mo, malamang hindi malalim yon. You can clean the scratch and it will become barely noticable.
Bili ka lang ng pampolish ng plastic (as of the moment, all I can think of is PlastX).
IF the scratch is deep, then you can still buff out the edges of the scratch to lessen the appearance of the scratch. But unfortunately, you'll still see it.
Ingat lang when using PlastX, if your plastic casing has a satin or matte finish. If you polish too hard, you'll end up with a shiny spot that will not match your satin or matte finish.

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
