Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=81391 Dont know what to say, bit anal doing 51 coats of wax. However im very impressed with the attention to detail in the engine bay and that car surely will hold its value well. P.s hope you have alot of memory, that thread made windows flash up that im low on virtual memory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 There's also one on Supraforums where they're doing a Gallardo. Why can't they do it to an average condition car instead of ones that are virtually brand new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I cannot understand this mentality "...to be honest the wheels were starting to stress me out.....I cleaned them non stop day after day..." I don't mind having a car clean & nice, but this is obsessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I cannot understand this mentality "...to be honest the wheels were starting to stress me out.....I cleaned them non stop day after day..." I don't mind having a car clean & nice, but this is obsessive Totally agree mate. I can see the point if the car is heading for a museum, but otherwise I just dont understand ! I LOVE a highly polished car, they look the nuts but this sort of effort is just ridiculous. Apologies if this offends, but good grief ! And to an Astra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I can understand the polishing and basic detailing part, I mean we all love have a sparkling car, but that’s ridiculous! Wonder how this guy drives the car on the road, god knows what would happen if he sees a puddle or a bit of dirt on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Brett Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 SAD, SAD, SAD. Yes the car looks great, but he needs to get out more. He has too much time on his hands and if you ask me he is heading for the nut house if a truck goes past and sprays his car with muck. A wash and polish regularly is fine as it leaves time for a pint, a job, a hobby, a wife and kids, but 51 coats of polish and my wife would kill me.

RedM Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 51 coats! At what point did the law of diminishing returns happen into effect? Why not stop at 50? Hell, maybe 37 coats were fine but they got into that whole 'just one more...' thing. Not only that but, crikey!, all that effort for a white car. Muppets.

Jazzy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Fantastic read and my god what a crazy attention to detial. However it all boils down to the fact that for general daily driving that's just OTT and then some, and without wanting to offend anyone it's just an Astra!
