Apollo 1st Gear June 18, 2006 Share June 18, 2006 (edited) How about a $9,000 car wash? Posted May 5th 2006 8:48AM by Joel Arellano Filed under: Maintenance, Etc. As another sign of just how different the wealthy live, Autoblog sibling Luxist posted a report from Guardian Unlimited about Paul Dalton and his car wash service, Miracle Detail. Dalton, according to the news source, charges over a staggering $9,000 for his top-of-the line Pinnacle car wash. The near two-week, 52-step program includes citrus degreasing, filtered water, and many sponges and buckets. The car wax alone, at $13,000 a tube, costs more than the service itself. Dalton, however, points out that the service protects the car for a year. (Hats off to Dhiram and Noah!)

Vit4wd 1st Gear June 18, 2006 Share June 18, 2006 (edited) Crazy marked up prices. Honestly, those rich fellows who send their cars to him are very stupid in my opinion. Got money also no need to flush it down the drain this way. Ewpensive does not mean that it is prefectly good. A US$9,000 job does not mean that it is better than a S$300 Autogym grooming job. Filtered water to wash the car. Absolute madness Edited June 18, 2006 by Vit4wd ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
