You have got to be kidding!
 
Or I should say, WTF! $1500 for a jar of wax?

And that just for the wax - you still have to buy the cleaners / renovators etc as well. BIG BIG $$$
Dalton charges several thousand dollars to clean these cars - there was a write up in one of the UK Porsche magazines last year on how he goes about it - 2/3 days to complete....
And he has a waiting list - go figure.
I think he charged over 2,000 UK POUNDS to scrub up Rod Stewarts Ferrari !!

Wow, the most that I even paid for a wax job was $50. And that was a few years back when I was in Singapore . Next time I'll bring my car . ;)

Its not THAT kind of wax job, but for $1500 they better include a "happy ending."

Johnny Danger 01-25-2012 04:05 PM

For $1500, I could keep all of my "birds" in Oil of Olay for a lifetime .

and a reach around to boot!

Wax snobbery knows no bounds.

Interesting how this guy uses the word filler so many times. Not the way I like to do it though, when I'm done the swirls are gone and not filled....but then I can't do a car in 1 hour the way they are doing, my work takes many hours depending on what the car owners needs are. The problem with fillers is the problems show right back up again a few washes later.

Now this guy does it right, unfortunately it's a lonely world for the visually sensitive. Glad I have a daytime IT job :).

Ha too funny - turns out Todd uses that $1500 stuff as a final...I'm sure the cars still look good before be puts it on to protect them.

If you are not familiar with clay give this stuff a try:
MeguiarsDirect.com: Smooth Surface® Clay Kit

I was skeptical about using clay on auto surfaces but it does work. It removes dirt even after you washed your car and makes the surface very clean and smooth... Then apply wax of choice.

LOLLLLL now this got to be the catch of the century :) Always told my wife that cosmetics should be something that politician should ban. The list is growing obviously and can't believe that now "guys" are falling for this.

I mean.... put on some peanut butter on your paint and wipe out the excess of it. The results will be identical (good ol'skippy smooth).

Fak this is hilarious... I'm almost pissing myself here. "A Jar Of Wax" lolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

(A+ on the Meg's clay kit tho, now that thing works as it should)

Wax on Wax off Danielson, then you'll have enough to buy this wax.

I would need a 97% off coupon before I would look at that.

They should call it "divorce wax" because there isn't any way that your wife is going to believe that you spent $1,500 on "wax for your car". :dance:

Johnny Danger 01-26-2012 09:11 AM

I just purchased a jar of it . I'll report back on it's performance .

Good luck, once they see the year of the Dangermobile they won't ship it, vehicle can't be more than three years old. It's like that Columbia house with the fine print stuff...

I know bare minimum about detailing cars and the only bit I know about a "professional" detailer is the fact that he/she would never, never, wash or micro fiber a million dollar car "outdoor"

Pissing myself even more lolllllllll
