Lol - some of these guys are shocking....I know its not all of them.

I've still not got into the UAE way of letting people wash the car....even though my cars are not prestine, and I probably dont do the best job either.

One day I will let go, but not yet.

I wash mine about once every 5 or 6 weeks. Between then, it builds up the 'Mad Max' layer of dirt, sand and dust.

The poor guys at the malls always seem so sad when they bound over and I politely decline. One could not seem to process this and pointed at the car saying "but sir!".

However, it does mean that there is an even better sense of accomplishment when I attack it with the Karcher!

Pah, I've had a guy in MOE refuse to wash a hire car I had years ago saying it would make such mess of the floor the mall management would get rid of him!

I got into trouble by the Springs management for washing my own car outside the villa...! I was told in no uncertain terms it wasn't allowed and only the authorized car wash people in the development were allowed do it.

How true that is I have no idea but seems bloody silly to me.

I've had Security give me a hard time in the Meadows, but I still do it myself... just try to use a bit less shampoo.
