Yeah, I guess if you wax 70 cars with it that's only $100 a wax, not counting all the other services.


Still, holy shit.

You guys do realize how much a detail like they are doing costs right?

That is probably a $2k (us) detail job or more. These guys aren't Jose on the corner with a buffing wheel but instead they are actually detailers who are borderline scientists in their trade.

No shit??

Umm if you have the best and use the best on other peoples cars then why not use it on your own to show the quality of your work?

It would be like a mechanic who never changes his oil or gives his cars a tune up :slap:

I was wondering why he was putting the wax on with his hand...now I know.

When you are doing paint calibrations, I think that is bucko bucks.
