Where To Get Your Lambo Washed
Posted May 3rd 2006 4:03PM by Deidre Woollard

How much would you pay for a car wash? The Guardian has an article on Paul Dalton, who runs a company called Miracle Detail that gives what may be one of the most expensive car washes in the world. It costs £5,000 ($9,198) for his Pinnacle car wash. It's the service Rod Stewart uses to polish up his Ferrari Enzo. The 52-step process includes multiple washes, pampering with gentle towels and even the use of a depth gauge that lets Dalton measure the paint thickness so he can smooth out the scratches without messing up the finish. He waxes with a special kind of Zymöl wax that costs £7,000 a tube and Dalton keeps in a safe in his fridge. It is made with 73% carnauba wax from the Brazilian rainforest and just a few tablespoons work on the whole car. His website has a photo gallery full of the super glossy results.

The most expensive wash service I have seen in Mexico is one that is almost $2,000 USD and is for very elegant vehicles and is run by a local car importer. That's probably pretty close to the price without that special wax that guy is using.

damn, i guess the way i see it, after certain point, it's diminishing return

He definitely makes those cars shine though. It really does look better than new.

I need to get me that Carnuba Wax. That is one deep shine.

actually a lot of times after 3 or 4 times of full detailing polish, the finish is going to be much smoother than stock

that's the case for my car, my gs400 is much smoother than my sc430
