You're In Business

The project addresses a valid niche (automotive detailing) but the submission is plagued by unverifiable and exaggerated claims. Asserting that 'everyone' is the audience and 'most people' have used the product undermines credibility, especially when search indicators suggest the site has minimal or no current web presence. The revenue metric ('marketcap') is misused, suggesting a misunderstanding of the prompt or business fundamentals. The technical implementation appears to be a standard content site with no evident innovation.

We don’t have sponsors, don’t use ads and refuse to highlight anybody/anything/any product/any company in return for something. We offer information, free, non-biased, independent and with love for our hobby.
