Guys this is a public website, please watch what you are writing.

On the other hand, one of my friends got a funny ticket because they found water under his car. The ticket was from the municipality and it was for "Washing his car in the street" :roll: :roll:

So you don't clean it you get a ticket, you wash it, you get a ticket :|

If anything happens to me, I'll let you know....

I even drove during 2 weeks with " I :heart: UK " on the hood.... I suspect some of my colleagues....

A word of warning on the "watchman" or "parking washer" washing cars - if he carries a bucket filled 1/3 with water, and 1/3 of that is sand, and the dirty little rag has 1/3 cotton and 1/3 sand, and your car is covered with 1/3 dust and sand... then you have a great sand-papering of your car. :mrgreen:

Varnish is the clear top coat applied on top of paint, which gives the surface a polished look, so that's the correct term. Many people in the UAE call it the "polish" - same thing.

Yup! and just top coat, or clear coat.

Also protects the paint from UV, and does eventually come off, after which the paint starts to deteriorate.

When polishing a car, you are removing micro layers of the top paint; so if you don't have clear coat you will get the color of the car on the pad. But when polishing a car with a good clear coat, the micro layers are clear and thus you do not see them on the pad.
