The wax/polish the guy used in the video is on sale on amazon.com for $7,118.00. It's called Zymol Royale Glaze. Holy Bankrobber!

Well gee... you can save over $2,000 by buying it from Amazon...

For that kind of money, the wax better do the job itself. Just pull the car into the garage, throw in the bottle of wax, shut the door, and come back in an hour and it is finished. And I expect the dishes to be done, dinner on the table, and the sheets turned down on the bed as well...

It was brought to my attention that it is $5,000 British pounds. What's the exchange rate? About 1.86? That would be a $9,300 detail. I'll take two.

Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost to get a vette completely REPAINTED?

I've seen a $4,000 paint job on a Harley! Really great airbrushing job.

So why would ANYONE spend that kind of money on a detailing job when it would actually be cheaper to just get the car repainted? Us common folks, I mean. Maybe a million dollar + car would cost more to have it repainted.......

Heck any paint job with about 4 coats of clear coat with fine sanding between coats would probably look much better than any detailing job with ANYTHING could make a regular paint job look. And be cheaper to boot...
