Although Elite Chicago Limo has been in business for over 10 years now, we had never encountered a more challenging and frustrating problem. Over the many years of business, our share of customer complaints, mechanical problems, and general service mishaps, all of which were handled in a timely and professional matter.
The aforementioned difficulties were overcome and we survived, but recently, the influx of shuttle and party buses to our fleet has created a problem beyond the scope of our understanding. About a few months ago, our newest bundle of shuttle bus began showing streaks on the windows. At first we thought of it as a simple power wash problem that could be easily taken care of with premium washing supplies.
The streaks suddenly became an ongoing problem as we could not simply get rid of them and they kept getting worse. Before long, wedding parties started to notice them when the party bus would arrive in the broad daylight. We tried everything from Windex and Rainex to home supplies like Vinegar from YouTube video suggestions. Nothing seemed to get rid of the streaks and water stains. We even consulted with the top Chicago glass companies and their best advice to us was applying distilled white Vinegar applied with steel wool.
After nearly a five month long problem, we encountered a solution completely accidentally. While buffing the black party bus for a Chicago area wedding charter, the mechanic accidentally buffed a large portion of the window. Instead of scratching the window, the buffing machine left it spotless clean. It was an instant light bulb and we immediately directed the mechanic to do the same to our white party buses. The streaks easily came off and the solution was staring at us right in our faces.
If you have encountered a similar problem with your shuttle or party buses, write us an email and we will gladly share our recipe for success.
