He seems to be getting everywhere atm. Fair play to him if he can get that sort of money on each job. I really don't get how people are willing to pay that sort of money though!
I've worked on some cars after some "big names" have previously done the car, and I've only been impressed twice!
Lostboy - yes it is a ridiculous price tag, but it's due to the price of carnauba and that wax has a ridiculously high carnauba content.

But its £8,200 for some wax, I've just pulled some wax out of my ear but no fucker would give me 82p for it never mind 8200, I could pull the wax off some edam cheese and get 2p for it, explain to me why this canauba is worth £8,200.

Carnauba is a plant extract that is very very expensive per gram / kg as a raw material! Hence why when a high concentration of carnauba is used in a wax it makes the value of it rocket. I don't personally feel the difference between a £100-£250 pot of wax is that big over the £5k plus ones. Durability isn't always that great either. You do get free lifetime refills of the tub though once you use it up lol.

I mean the stuff he uses is quite expensive, he has rent and all the other usual associated business bills.
apparently it's his parents garage that he's using. that's what they said in the sun anyway. could be lies.
