The ingenuity of resellers knows no bounds, and one can only envy their ingenuity. Sometimes the most unobvious tricks allow cunning traders to safely “hold on” to the price for five, ten or even all 50,000 rubles. Moreover, without special investments. And an example of this is the use of regular mayonnaise during the preparation of the machine before sale.
The Russian used car market is going through difficult times and every crisis always brings new opportunities. And new players who want to grab a tasty piece of the juicy pie. But a business built on used cars requires serious investments, and few are willing to take big risks in such unstable conditions. That is why another, easier path is often chosen: simply wash and resell.
Why not? The investment is minimal, but the result is acceptable. However, this is not always the case. And what should you do if rinsing your car is not enough and you want to return its appearance to its former shine? That’s where ingenuity comes into play.
I think everyone has heard more than once about blackening tires with shaving foam. And also about toothpaste, also called cheap polish. But there is another product that is used for the same purpose: to remove minor body defects quickly and cheaply. And this is mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise is not an abrasive paste; it contains only vegetable oil and egg white. The first component leaves a greasy, shiny film – the body shines and is pleasing to the eye. And the second “repairs” the result, forming a protective layer. Without this, the effect will disappear after the first wash. It actually turns out just like after polishing with wax – two in one: both gloss and “anti-rain”. Only much cheaper.
So what exactly needs to be done? First we clean the surface from dirt – any product is suitable for this. Then we take our “natural” nail polish and gently apply it to the body. You don’t need a lot of mayonnaise – a few smears are enough. Wipe it with a cloth or napkin: a few movements, and the result will not be long in coming.
It turns out, as we like, cheap and quite cheerful. Another question is that this lifehack is an emergency measure, that is, it is not suitable for regular use, the effect is not long-lasting and certainly not cumulative. So if you want your car to shine with “newness” for as long as possible, do not skimp on special chemicals and professional centers. Yes, it is difficult to call their services budget-friendly. But this is still cheaper than eliminating later neglected body defects.
