2tongues yea there's one born every minuet. Thing is as with all detailing as soon as you drive it its dirty again.
It's not about making a dirty car clean though, it's to do with adding depth and clarity to the paint as well as removing swirls and scratches to achieve that perfect finish. The trouble is the vast majority of the public don't understand detailing and the media have just made the guy out to be an expensive hand car wash when in reality he is doing alot more than that.

toxo I actually worked out Veyron running costs when I got hold of the service schedule for them :lol:
If you drove 10,000 miles a year in it (which obviously you wouldn't but for arguments sake lets see where this gets us) it would cost you £1.2m a year to run for the first 2 years. After that it gets more expensiveThat includes everything other than insurance, so tax, petrol, tyres, servicing as per Bugatti's recommended schedule etc.
Did you know that every 4 tyre changes Bugatti say you have to change the wheels as well, due to the rotational stresses placed on them over time weakening the forged material?
Back on topic, when I had my car detailed the guy had micrometers, microscopes, measured the thickness of my paint all over (some of which was 14 microns thickcared: ) and that only cost me £75 :lol: mates rates and all that!
Toxo I am Guessing your £1.2m does not include depreciation:lol: wonder how much the car looses in value each year

21-06-2017, 08:48 AM #29One thing i have just thought of, people with a 500k+ car wouldn't actually need to pay 7k to get it detailed, even a 200k car...cause lets face it, if your capable of buying an LFA, Zonda, Veyron, Enzo etc you could just buy a new one every 3 months (roughly how long you wait between waxing/detailing it) :S
