and I thought my car was clean.....

Only 5 grand for a car wash...almost as cheap as Delta Sonic.

Some pretty nice cars in that shop

 

thats some pretty good cleaning there i wonder what stuff he used.

 

Who drives an MC12? Man those are nice. Lots of lambos in there, did I see a ferrari in step 10 or just a red lambo?

Oh, and nice wax! Haha...

 

Damnn,would love to see what he could do to our Maximaz.!!!

 

he makes my car washing look so ****ty

 

Damn I thought my 7 hour cleaning came out nice.

 

I swear on some other forums, this guy is brought up almost once a month!

Guys, it isn't in the products he is using, I promise you that. It is all in his prep work. If you actually watch the few videos of him doing a buff job, he is very meticulous. I actually don't like Zymol waxes that much, and believe NXT or M26 would do just as good of a job, if not better.

This guy is so widespread on so many forums, I swear he is brought up at least once a month. He is good, but he is no miracle worker. You could probably find a detailer within 100 miles that could do just as good of a job for about a 10th of the price.

 

I read about this guy on another forum. Some guy got to help him out on a Veyron and explained the step by step process.

Had no idea how much he charged though. Don't think it's worth to get Zymol plenty of other waxes out there that get the same shine. Amazing though what you can charge for a detail, if people are willing to pay for it.

 

and he washed it in the sun...
rule number one.

 

i thought you weren't supposed to clean your car in direct sun light but what do i know.

 

You can clean it in the sun as long as you keep the car hosed downed so water spots don't dry out on it.

You shouldn't really polish/wax in the sun, but that also depends on the polish/wax you are using.

Zaino you can use in the sun or the shade it doesn't matter.

 

Not sure if I'm down for waxing with bare hands. I'd imagine it would waste a lot of wax?

 

pH neutral soap, 35deg Celsius water??? Funny that you can pay over $500,000.00 for a car and still be worried about damaging the paint. For as much as that car costs, the paint should be able to be washed with gasoline.

 

well if it was painted after 1994 he can show you what orange peel looks like

It's pretty much how you market yourself. Of course you have to provide the level of work/quality people will expect for it, but still. He checks the paint's thickness and levels it. Not my cup of tea but look at what he charges. I believe he'll also drive to a customers car just to clean bird crap off it . Some people like that level of service and you can see in his prices they don't care what it costs.

Depends on the products you use and how efficiently you work

What absorbs more wax, your hand or a foam/microfiber pad

 

read a few pages of the comments after the video.. lotta dumb people out there...

It is a lot of money, but as someone said - it protects your investment. Poor paint will hurt re-sale value, so why not ? Besides, spend half as much on an oil change, twice as much on new tires, what the hell is a few G's to make your car look new?

 

5 grand for detailing a car is insane. By the way, how much does a good paint job cost?

 

the "5" figure was in GBP... its more like 10+k USD...Good paint job? less than those guys were spending on a detail...

For those cars though? $$$$... keeping in mind though, you dont get your Supercar painted at Maaco....

 

whoa...someone has a lot of time on their hands

 

that guy is prob. great at detailing/washing etc..... and he would get a heart attack if he saw my car....

but ..... i "multiple" wash/wax my max for less than 75$ CAD .... and it still turns heads!!!! (and mine too!!)

although......if i inherited 12M$ like some dogs do.... maybe I'd contact him:-))

 

as i originally thought, claybaring is ok more than once or twice a year. i'm going to wash and claybar and wax today if i get a chance, cant stand summer being over and the mist from cold air settling in at night messin up the shine.

 

somebody get that guy a "bloody" life LOL LOL

 

When I do leather treatment in my car, I pour the product right onto my hand. Your hand doesn't absorb it.

 

I waxed the max last time using my hands and It might just be the placebo effect, but I think it came out nicer than usual!

 

Ridiculous.

 

really. the whole thing washing under the sun thing is subjective on what kind of water you're using.

try using spot free water. it really doesnt matter if you live in the desert.

personally- i think whatever he's doing can be done for a much cheaper price. as said before- he just seems like he's EXTREMELY meticulous.

 

Anyone that owns a supercar knows that basic maintenance can easily get into five figures per year. A $10k perfect treatment every six months is just another line on that invoice.

 

i like washing my car its not that hard i hate doing the inside of my car i would never pay someone to clean my car
