About
Two vans.
One rule.
Sparkle Motor Works started in 2019 washing cars in a single Lokhandwala basement, because the nearest wash was a twenty-minute drive and the car came back with swirl marks. Two vans now run the western suburbs, and the rule has not changed: nothing touches the paint until the grit is off it.

The method
Why it takes ninety minutes.
01
Foam first
Snow foam dwells for four minutes and lifts the grit before anything touches the paint.
02
Two buckets
One for shampoo, one to rinse the mitt. Dirt goes down the drain, not back onto the car.
03
One mitt per panel
Roof, glass and wheels never share a cloth. That is where scratches come from.
04
Dried by hand
Microfibre per panel, door jambs and sills last. No water spots in the Mumbai heat.
