Even more reason why I should be charging more money.

His website says he charges $150/hr or 75GBP (I checked the conversion this time)

Glad to see someone checking my replies.

not sure if it has been posted here. anyway, here's the top gear feature on the guy who detailed that Veyron. He is considered as the most expensive car detailer in the world. He uses hand-applied Zymol Royale wax ($7000) for those expensive detailing work.

I think they mentioned that the Veyron was the same car tested by James May in Top Gear. This probably explains why it had swirls and deep scratches in the paint.

I believe we have sucessfully contributed to this guy's website exceeding its bandwidth. And of course this link worked today while I was at work and the images would not appear, and is now down.
