From reading BluePete's post it is a lifetime refill supply , but don't forget that the guy charges $6,000 per car wash ...

Yeah, I thought the OP was about the wax rather than the guy doing the job...my mistake - was just commenting on the fact it's not £6,000 for one tub of it...

I have seen this wax before. If you have the cash, then its relativly cheap!

If I had wasted that much time cleaning my car I probably wouldn't drive it.
Weird how somethings he is really particular about i.e. tiny spec of painted hardly visible to the naked eye and then he gets a carpet of dynamat glued to his car. Understand the reason for it but its the logic beforehand that makes it seem strange.

Also why wouldn't you clean your car after you modified it all?

A lot of money to spend of a Vauxhall.

What I found insane was he admitted cleaning the white wheels 4-5 times a WEEK taking 90 minutes a time! Complete madness! Clearly either single or with the most understanding partner I have ever heard of!

Theres pictures of it on show parked next to an Aston. Now no matter how clean or tastefully modded or the attention to detail he has on his car, the Aston is the one I'd go and have a look at.
The interior of the VXR still looks Poo Pants McGee, just like a family hatch back.

Pea Roast of the 2006 kind.

If this is VXRMarc then he does it for a job.

Everything has been said, he has been slated, he has been praised. End of the day, he enjoys it, and gets paid for it. His life, his job, nowt to do with anyone else.

Rather practice on a smaller cheaper car before applying the knowledge to £100k+ motors
