This is worth a good laugh to be sure.

Especially as I can get a Mini for the price of his top end service.

I admit I did not find this originally http://www.sunshineminis.org/forums/...ic.php?t=10798

ah we were talking about this the other day

You know, I bet that Octane guy could do a better job. He would need some antique zymol however to compete with that stuff (as i hear its incredible) but barring that, I think Octaneguy (rich) actually would treat the paint BETTER than this dude.

Not that this guy is shabby , just saying comparitively

I need to start charging my dad this much money every time I do his cars... oh how rich i would be... Good idea I'm doing it. A bill we be on his desk tomorrow for yesterdays detailings. I agree too... I don't know if I trust my hands, well i do but, I think a cotton or microfiber applicator would be just a tizzle softer.

yeah, hands I guess are ok though. I would think that would dry them out if it wasnt a very oily wax.

I did use my index finger to go around arches and go around emblems and things. that worked well. just swiped on the wax and smeared it around. that worked really well. a more even application than the pad so maybe that guy is doing something right.

I use my fingers on the chrome and the wheels. I have yet to find a tool that works as well.

Anyone wanna pay 10k for the use of my finger?
