This the same guy that cleaned the Astra and Bugatti?

Still dont think its £7k (IIRC) worth of a car wash! You could ride it home and get bombed by a load of birds Rolling Eyes

7K is what you pay for the Miracle wax (which the R8 wasn't done with anyway) but you get free refills for life with it, so it will probably work out cheaper. But that's for the guy doing the detailing.

You don't pay 7K for the car to be cleaned.

I can't tell the difference between that & a foam & rinse at BP. Unless i sat closely & inspect.
Plus it's a new car so it's still got that shine whatever you use. Lets see him clean an oldie. Smile

Looks great inside with all that tech tho.

Nice car. I'd rather be driving it than cleaning it though.

Looks in a better state than this R8.

Does anyone have a link to the Astra cleaning-job? I can't seem to find it and would like to have another read.

Craigs23 deserves more credit i reckon. He restores old bikes to BEYOND their original immaculate showroom condition.

This guy just cleaned a brand new car.

And think of how much harder a bike is with all it's hard to reach places.

I've always wondered how much of a good cleaning job you can do on a vehicle without taking it apart.

I thought the bloke who did the bugatti used Zymol Car products..

Heres him detailing the veyron
https://www.vxronline.co.uk/messageboard/viewtopic.php?t=4618


..and heres where you can go and get the same polish he's using
https://www.vertar.com/car-care-exterior/wax-polish/

The zymol waxes which come in the tub are pretty good stuff. I tested the wax on the bonnet of my car, and the rain just beads off the bonnet in the pissing rain!

A video of water beading off the veyron after the polish.

It's not actually cleaning though, it's detailing mostly. Just making it look at perfect as humanly possible. If I remember rightly, Craig had started to build his own Zymol collection... Laughing

I reckon if craig got compaired to this he would be ashamed.

Craig strips his bikes pretty much back to the frame, cleans them, rides them, then cleans them again.


Craig is the cleaning god.

Doesign have to use 7k of car wash too Rolling Eyes

That's a funny one.

The people complimenting Craig on his work, myself included, are giving credit where it's due. Rolling Eyes
