How much would you pay for a car wash?
The Guardian has an article on Paul Dalton, who runs a
company called
Miracle Detail that gives what may be one of the most
expensive car washes in the world. It costs £5,000 ($9,198) for his Pinnacle car wash. It's the service Rod
Stewart uses to polish up his Ferrari Enzo. The 52-step process includes multiple washes, pampering with gentle towels
and even the use of a depth gauge that lets Dalton measure the paint thickness so he can smooth out the scratches
without messing up the finish. He waxes with a special kind of
Zymöl wax that
costs £7,000 a tube and Dalton keeps in a safe in his fridge. It is made with 73% carnauba wax from the Brazilian
rainforest and just a few tablespoons work on the whole car. His website
has a photo gallery full of the super glossy
results.
