He says he can get a car looking better then when it's new... Surely the only ones who can tell the difference would be other people like this guy? Laughing

I'd like to see photos of the difference between a £7,000 wash & a hand wash from down the road.

Does seem a bit odd to be flown out to the other side of the world to wash a car for a month.

It's all about perceived value. Someone who's bought a £1,000,000 car would froth at the mouth at the prospect of some Eastern European with a bucket in the Sainsburys car park being let loose on their penis extension for £5, but once they hear that the finest dwarf pygmy shrew hair buffing pads would be used, complete with an electron microscope targeted cavity flush with distilled unicorn tears for the knockdown price of £7k then they'd spooge at the thought.

Blimey Shocked kudos to the bloke though, he takes pride in his work and it must be nice seeing the end product, - I love shiny cars. Actually I find it quite relaxing cleaning the car / bike, unfortunately I don't have a garage, so have to put up with "witty" comments from passer by's and neighbours like " you clean it so often you won't have any paintwork left" and "oooo can you do mine too", which I always respond to with a cheery smile Rolling Eyes

Wonder how people feel when they drive out of there, after having the full treatment and a bird sh1ts on their car.

Indeed, I feel it's underused.

If one of my customers wants to respray a million pound car it could cost them up to £100,000.

Really?

First is a complete wash with pH neutral shampoo and citrus degreasers, which is essentially orange extract.
Gurcharn has to use special towels and an extra powerful hair dryer

Sounds like he's washing his hair.

I wonder if he does bikes Thinking
Mine needs a good clean.

A 140C that would be steam then?

Still counts as water.
