8K for wax.....

1K to clean a fuking car....ANT car for that matter

It might be ok for cars in St Tropez or Monaco were the sun shines all year round but for an M3 in England??? As soon as you take it out it will get shitted up in one way or another.

More money than sense.

thats the fucking point of the wax, it reduces the amount of shit build up on the car and makes it easier to clean next time around.

I can't beleive you guys are bitching about the price of wax etc when most of you grown men are sticking some serious cash in a 10year old dated hatch back, oooo check the irony.

I say fair play to the dood on the car, its amazing !

Love the narrow mindedness of people. end of the day, if you dont want to spend 8k on a wax, then dont. Why whinge about it? Like kangaroojack said, you think nothing of putting thousands into a 10year old bottom model corsa so why is this any different.
I guarentee that if you spent 5/600quid on paint correction it would be the best 5/600quid you could spend on a car. As you have seen, the diference in finsh is amazing.
I dont know about anyone else, but i would rather drive round in a car with perfect paint rather than a swirled/hologrammed car. Its your pride and joy, why not look after it!

Think you only get one refill per year, as people were looking to pitch in and get one tub and share it between them from the refills.

riiighttt because your cheap arse wax from tesco is going to last aslong as the '8k wax' ?

is it FUCK! thats the whole point, it gives much better protection for the paintwork and lasts a hell of a lot longer.

I wonder if hes going to stick it up for sale again...........a car like that in as new condition will be worth a fair bit......£8k wax aside he'll make a nice profit from washing/servicing a car. Who's really the stupin ones us or him?!

I wonder how much he got the car for!!?
