Those days, the Indian car owners were happy using detergent and hair shampoo for cleaning cars. Obviously, the application pads used were worn-out-and-discarded clothes!!! The interior cleaning products used were disastrous, leaving the interiors oily and sticky. And specific paint protectors, tyre/plastic/glass cleaners were unheard of!!

And auto detailing was limited to crude service stations who used diesel and soap for cleaning and cheap waxes for polishing. The idea of detailing ended there! Professional car detailing was never done, instead indiscriminate “paint-rubbing” using big-sized wool pads with heavy rotary machines.

The most advanced paint protection then offered was the “Teflon coating”
