Fair does to him!

Hes got himself some good exposure! yes, hes copied Paul Dalton with his "shock" prices (which probably dont exist) but who cares?

It got him people talking about him, it got the publicity and he is a very good detailer!

Very best of luck to him i say! ;)

You could do it over 250 hours but it would be really stretching it and would require a large vehicle, it must have been a hummer or range rover.

Im an average enthusiastic detailer and can take 15-20 hours.

If you think you could spend around 20 odd hours just on the wheels and arch areas, then throw in engine bay, underside, everything you cant see and then the major body parts (including using a microscope) you could take 200-250 hours i expect.

I think its just living to your means, Would not say its money to burn.
Tell someone who goes to a Kosovan £2 car wash that you pay £250 for a detailer and they would call you insane.
If you earn a certain amount, you spend a certain amount.

True - but then you don't appreciate the value of money....
