One has to admire his dedication, but he must surely be a Billy-no-mates......and most definitely 'single' ;D

He should have took it to my local garden centre - there's a bunch of Lithuanians in the corner of the car park will hand wash your car for three quid!   ;D

I am slightly worried for his sanity, when they pulled the carpet up he was upset because there was a pen mark on the floor... which he was going to Dynamat over and then replace the carpets also. He just couldn't bear to know it was there - very odd IMO.

Agreed :y

But I must note that long term usage of pressurized washers makes a sanding effect and fade the lack :-/

Does seem a tad over the top ;D ;D ;D--mind you, hate to burst his bubble, but my lad had one of these in at his dealership and he told me that those "chequered" decals wouldnt last very long !!

Does he feel there is a recession and the entire world is finding it difficult to stay on top of their jobs?

Surely, not a good advert for the motor industry - a brand new vechicle needing so much of work :-) ;D

He needs a life, IMO

All i can say is fairplay, i wish i had that much time to spend cleaning my car.
It is amazing looking car, and should be looked after, but this is just a smidge over the top....

I know it's wrong,  but i would love to see his reaction to finding a car-park dent or it being keyed  :-[

I wouldn't.... Ambulance crew would be filling in the 'Dead On Arrival' paper work! And you would be a witness of his death!  ;D

........So what does he actually do with the car?

Lovely to see him getting it how he wants - I just dont see how he'd ever use the thing.

I mean he cleans the wheels '4 or 5 times a week'  :o :o :o

As others have suggested, he doesn't get out much really.......

Wonder what he's like to talk to if you said no car detailing conversation? :-?

Still he's obviously very happy with what he does.

Not for me!

No secret i'm a bit of a valet tart but this is obsessive to the extreme. Beastie usually looks pretty but she's still an everyday car.
   I was waiting for the next caption to read:-" then nurse told us it was medicine time"!!! It's one thing to be a Norbert but to post it for the world to see is worrying. ::)
