I was able to clean my Vette in the time it took to look at all those pictures.

I think I'd rather spend an hour cleaning it and the other 54 hours driving the hell out of it!

I've heard about some that are anal about cleaning their cars............this guys gives it a new meaning. And the fact that 10 minutes down the road all that work will be useless makes it all the more rediculous.

No...this guy uses the anal owner to his advantage....I'm sure he was paid very well for his time.

Just think, if each of us were to move the decimal in our salary's one or two places to the right, a detailing job like this would be the same to us as what we are doing now.

This is why I hate detailing my car... I'm so pickey that those are the results I want, but no way in hell am I spending that much time on it. Must be nice to have enough money to drop the car off for that kind of treatment once a month

this is why i don't waist all those hours playing golf. it must be nice for those guys that spend all those hours and money chasing a little ball around every month . i would rather give my own car that treatment once in a while.
