This is the most ridiculous detailing job I have ever seen. Wayyyy too much.

He must really love his Vauxhall. What would he do if he owned an exotic? The detailer (Paul) is a genius though. Have to respect that guy.

Nothing wrong with that, infact I admire his dedication! Since when does the extent of a detailing job have anything to do with the price of a car? I'm sure the owner loves it and nobody would raise any eyebrows if anybody did this to an F430 or a Murci. I'd love to buy a used car from that guy!

He's going to take it out on the town, have a rock bounce up his hood and crack his windshield, and have an aneurism.

Does anyone want to do a cost analysis on using Zymol Royale on a Vauxhall?

Some great comments from that forum here are a couple:

"clearly a complete tit with too much time on his hands.
its an astra FFS!"

"not being funny, but what a goon, probably spent about a quater of what he paid for the vxr to get it to what it is now.

i rekon he insists on using zymol as lube when he has sex"

I have seen a vid on this guy before. He put on the wax with his hand. Doesn't he get like $4000 for a detail or something like that?

It's actually 4-5K pounds, so make that close to $10K. I know Paul and have spoke with him a few times. His work is really amazing, but I'm sorry; simply cannot justify paying that much to correct paint on a daily driver. Concours prep yes; daily driver no. But you can't blame a man for marketing himself and as long as he keeps producing these "legendary" results, why not? When you've spent the money on a Enzo, MC12, Veyrone, why not have someone cater to it like that? My 2 cents; or is it pence

The detail on this car DID NOT cost that much.

Paul is a marketing genious with matching talent.

Lots of H8ters around - wow!

Oh well.
