Guys this is a public website, please watch what you are writing.
On the other hand, one of my friends got a funny ticket because they found water under his car. The ticket was from the municipality and it was for "Washing his car in the street"
So you don't clean it you get a ticket, you wash it, you get a ticket

A word of warning on the "watchman" or "parking washer" washing cars - if he carries a bucket filled 1/3 with water, and 1/3 of that is sand, and the dirty little rag has 1/3 cotton and 1/3 sand, and your car is covered with 1/3 dust and sand... then you have a great sand-papering of your car.

Varnish is the clear top coat applied on top of paint, which gives the surface a polished look, so that's the correct term. Many people in the UAE call it the "polish" - same thing.

Yup! and just top coat, or clear coat.
Also protects the paint from UV, and does eventually come off, after which the paint starts to deteriorate.
When polishing a car, you are removing micro layers of the top paint; so if you don't have clear coat you will get the color of the car on the pad. But when polishing a car with a good clear coat, the micro layers are clear and thus you do not see them on the pad.
