I found this on digg.com It`s a 5 minute video about a person who details only high-end cars (lamborghini`s, bugatti veyron, etc..) It shows you the process he uses to wash, clay, polish, and wax his customer`s cars. Is it worth it?



Can you guys critique his method of detailing? I`m curious whether it`s really that much different from a more "regular" autopian detail which would probably cost $500-600 max. Perhaps it`s mainly because of the types of products he uses which brings up the cost so much. :nixweiss



I was surprised that he didn`t use the 2 bucket method for the washing. He just used one bucket, one wash mitt, and he seemed to make pretty hard and wide swipes with the wash mitt. Wouldn`t this cause marring? Of course, he polishes it after so I guess it`s not that bad. I`m was just surprised that a detailer who charges so much uses one wash mitt and one bucket while autopians are using 2+ mitts and at least 2 buckets to wash :)

The $10,000 detail guy who boasts his uber expensive Zymol Vintage Estate Glaze...the vid`s a repost like no other, but man does that guy know how to market. But it really irks me how he lists the price for each product and his 63-step process...but I guess you`ve got to try and justify the price somehow eh?

Oh, so that`s who he is. I didn`t know the person, but I heard a lot on this forum about the overpriced vintage wax.

Getting back to the original post, just a reminder that some folks (in the UK) have more money than brains!
