I don't see what the big deal is about that, I've been considering getting my car detailed, haven't decided yet but if I did it would be around £300. Based on my car being worth about £4k, that's 7.5% of its value.

Now applying the same percentage, a £7k detail at 7.5% would be the same on a £100k car. So if he's doing £500k plus veyrons and stuff, this £7k is just pocket change to these guys :biggrin:

Interesting, I would have thought it was more than that (especially as the LFA is sold out) but I guess at that price demand clearly isn't that high :lol:

Mind you those figures were only up until the end of 2008 so maybe another 100 sold on top of that

I dont like the Veyron, its just a big ugly VW to me lol

Now an LFA :drool:

As for the £7k detail, have you read what he provides? Special tiles on floor, inspects the car with a microscope, and polishes each part of the car 5 times each with polish that costs £7k! :ohmy:
