33 crore car!!!

World's most  costliest  car: Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

The CCXR Trevita is a limited edition the CCXR with unique, white carbon fibre body work. Trevita is Swedish for “three whites”.
For the Trevita, Koenigsegg developed something truly special. This is not paint. It’s not a tint. It’s actually white carbon fibre that shines like millions of diamonds when the sun hits the car. It’s a manufacturing technique developed by Koenigsegg especially for this limited edition range. It’s a stunning visual effect and one that Koenigsegg is unlikely to ever produce again, ensuring the exclusivity of the “three whites” forever.

How to clean gold jewels in 5 minutes...?

Cleaning gold jewels is always a problem. We all want sparkling gold jewels and that's why most of us prefer polishing jewels particularly when it comes to functions.... Here is an easy way to get clean gold jewels in a quick way. This is a way that doesn't cause much strain. You need not use a brush to clean, need not soak gold jewels in shampoo for hours together . Need not be worried whether it is going to have weight loss after cleaning.
Follow the steps below:
Take a white plastic container. I used white so that we can see the dirt coming out of the jewel and can  be convinced that only dirt comes out.
I have taken my own chain for cleaning.
Pour 10ml RIN ala onto the chain. ALA is only an bleaching agent. It does only oxidising action and we need not worry that gold will be affected. Gold is inert . It will not react with ALA.


Leave it for 5 minutes. You can see visibly the dirt coming out of the design in the chain.....
wash the chain with water and wipe with tissue or cloth. Now the chain is absolutely dirt free!!
