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.

Then it is driven down a muddy country lane.......!!!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

A car for a show room or the road?? :-? :-? :-? :D ;)

Agreed :y

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

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 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!
