Maybe.
but I don't clean the wheels 4-5 times a week.... Or dislike the colour of the LED's in my speedo and RX so much that I get changed so they match... Or even open a brand new kit and spot a finger print on the chassis, so consider sending back the kit... Nevertheless... he could alway come round and clean my car

Each to their own I say, if thats what he chooses to do, good for him, he's done good (and ive done detailing as part time work).
The people I do criticise are those who have no interests.

Chris Long and I know the dedication that these guys put in. One of Chris' friends Scott spent the Friday and Saturday of the last national at Bury Metro cleaning my A4 and the results are well worth the effort.
Yes I would not go to those lengths but you cannot ignore this guys attention to detail. My brother is a good friend of Paul Dalton who is referred to in the article. Paul now has his own line of detailing wax made to his specification and makes the trip to Switzerland to discuss its development. Like Chris says, I am sure that the detailing guys think we are sad but we all do it cos we enjoy the hobby.

And the first time he pops down to Tesco in it I bet someone will open their door into the side of his causing one of those really annoying dents...............

This thread is really pissing me off. I give max credit to the guy, id rather know people like him than people who don't give a toss.
So what if its an Astra, he's proud of it. When I eventually have a garage, my car will be getting similar attention regular, so what if its a Focus, the difference is its my Focus - just like that Astra is his Astra. Im actually quite jealous that he's able to do it in terms of time and effort.

As far as I know he's a pro detailer so doing things like this are good for business. Even he admits that it didn't need 51 coats but this is what he enjoys doing so fair play to him. He's worked with Paul Dalton of Miracle detail, I've seen some of his other posts detailing veyron's etc and the difference the detailing makes from being clean is astounding.
