When I bought my Prius last year in January 2014, there were only a couple of red colored Prius in Islamabad. As my car goes everywhere, it attracts a lot of attention and as a result several people have bought Prius in red color after that, I even know of a few people who bought one after they saw mine roaming around and really liked it.
Now for the problem part. Everyone knows red is a sensitive color and if not treated with care it takes no time to turn pink. That is exactly what has happened to the vast majority of red colored Prius in Islamabad.
When I park beside them, even a blind man can tell that there is one hell of a difference between the two cars, mine has a rich deep gloss all the time Alhamdulillah even when it is not waxed for a month or two, while the other is in a pretty bad shape. The paintwork is beat up with a lot of swirls and scratches, and it has lost its essence as a whole.
Before anyone says anything, let me clarify that my car is not a garage queen, it is a daily driver and gets used for all kinds of domestic stuff like bringing water gallons, groceries and likewise. Average monthly mileage is around 900-1000 km.
So I think I have made my point clear that detailing DOES work, everyone says to me "yaar tumhari gari bohat saaf hai Masha Allah", there's a reason for that.
