Just to warn those who hate seeing things twice, this is the bit from Fifth Gear with the Maserati MC12.

Bloody hell. Sod doing all that!

Anyone know how long it takes him to clean those cars?

zain · 8 May 2006 at 18:57

A fair bit of time, but how much he is being paid must be worth it

Yeah without a doubt. I wonder what car he has!

What a **** on, i would'nt dare, but fair play to him he'll be coining it.

SoliD · 8 May 2006 at 19:04

corr tad thorough, wonder what sort of profits he is making as he seems to spend loads of time aswell as money on those products!

iCraig · 8 May 2006 at 19:12

Would love to see his face after he's spent all afternoon cleaning a car, and a pidgeon ***s all over it.

My arse! what a pile of pap! He's using a SPONGE!!! nothing picks up grit left behind better than a sponge!

and the £6 bucket!? B&Q sell them for 98p, he could have a new one for every 66 cars he washes!

He probably only does 3 or 4 a day with the amount of time he spends on them I couldn't see it being many more than that.

Upto £5k he charges! :eek:

Although he does make sure it's clean.

For £5k we can all make sure a car is clean.

Good luck to the guy, he's found a gap in the market for ultra high end car cleaning. He has the product knowledge, skill and attention to detail required to make the job work.

For £5k you can buy a brand new car!

Hahaha. These guys spend at least a day cleaning a single car.

I was recently talking to a chap who had his car done by one of the 5th Gear bloke's competitors. The valeter and his helper showed up at 7am, worked solidly until 8pm, bedded down for the night in the chap's house, then were back polishing at 6.30am the next day, for another 6 hours or so.

The bloke on 5th Gear is a triumph of marketing though. Having seen his results next to some of the cheaper guys (who use the same waxes etc) there's nothing between them.

bucket with a special filter at the bottom that keeps the grit out the way.

The type of car he cleans the tyres probably cost £5k
