Buying Is An Emotional Decision

"How does your waterless car wash and wax work?"

"Well, sir, we just spray our NoWet Waterless Car Clean solution on a panel of your car. The solution emulsifies and it lifts off the dirt from the surface of your car. We then wipe it off. The solution also contains wax that protects your car from the harmful elements of Metro Manila, making your investment last longer."

"How long does the protection last?"

"The protection last for 4 weeks. The dirt and the dust will not stick on your car unlike conventional car washes since the wax we are using is non-static."

"How much is your car wash?"

"It's four hundred pesos for a waterless car wash and wax. But we do have a four-week guarantee. You can bring your car here for three times within the four-week period. Effectively, you are able to save more in terms of money, time and effort since you will not be bringing your car to a car wash as often."

"Okay, you can clean my car."
