  • Would you pay $9000 for a car wash?

    Apparantly some people will

    Can't believe that it lasts a year!

    I think this http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums...threadid=12541 is basically the same (but with a video instead of an article).

    I wouldn't pay for it (now) - but I can imagine that the rich & famous are willing to get this exclusive car care service just because they can afford it.

    On the other hand - the wax costs £7000 but I believe you get a lifelong refilling. So if you're seriously into the detailing business and you can afford it - maybe it's even cheaper than buying new detailing waxes from other manufacturers.

    Like someone said in the other thread - if you're driving a car around that costs like $400,000 would you use a $13 product on it?

      You get lifetime refills, but I believe you only get one refill a year, so I don't think it ever really becomes economically feasible to buy this wax unless you can charge so much for the detail as to make it worth it.

        Actually, the refills are unlimited. I'm not sure where this "once a year" rumor got started. There is a three week turnaround time and you have to pay the shipping both ways (the empty container has to be sent in).

            Sorry for the double post and thanks for the video! Fifth Gear is one of my favourite TV programs.
