Hmmm yer, bit ott for an astra:woot:. But what ever floats yr boat I surpose....I bet the final finishing touch is added with the lights set dim some music and a fast moving right hand:D:D then rubs it into the paint work:woot:

Did love his car washing buckets tho:D

I would let that bloke off. If I owned an F40 I would wax it with my tung:woot::D

Is that the Paul Dalton who will charge you £5,000 to clean your car?

He does a cheaper service that I wanted him to do to my Focus ST before I picked it up, but the wife said no:bored:

I am an old friend of Paul Dalton and he is highly regarded in the Detailing World and has been featured on a few motoring programmes too!

He tends to focus on supercars where he has a large base of hiigh paying customers, as his toys will prove!

That was his mate Marc's Astra but he has gone to even greater lengths since the blue one!

I hope hes not allowed near small children!

I can't understand how he tolerated some flies to land on his roof... This is unbearable!

Joke aside, this is incredible work and pure madness. I can understand and respect that. But from a pure environemental point of view (sorry if this is not correct), this is mass destruction. 50L of water (not considering this is reverse osmosis water!) to clean a car, this much chemicals and so on, this is really, well, I don't have the words...

Concerning the F40, those cars had so poor a paintjob from factory it's useless to apply such a work. One could see the carbon fibers through the paint... And if you look at the after pics, you can see there is more orange peel than on a Renault...

Just my thoughts though. I love cars and the work this guy put in his Astra is stunning and done with taste I think.

£5000 to clean a car!?!?!?!?

And it will all get undone the first time you drive it. Some people..........doh!!

[bodgit]

I remember the white astra post on here a while back. Unbelievable amount of work. My car has not been washed since november, makes me feel dirty.

[showtime]

it takes a true genius to remap his car to make it quicker than add about half a ton of sound deadening :eh?:

fair play to him though if thats what floats his boat :bored:

seems a shame to do all that cleaning & prep to drive it in our shitty weather plus how bad will he feel if some mong drives into it or some scrote scratches it :rolleyes:

it all seems a bit pointless to me!

but then he might think we're pricks for playing with toy cars so..........

Funny how he says he's from Lancaster but the pictures are taken in Maidstone, Kent.

I think Paul Dalton is from Kent, maybe thats, why:confused:

[steelie600]

its a brand new blastid car ffs!!!! it dont need cleaning just a de waxing abd polish!!!!

[Titch]

I spent 29 quid to get mine valeted yesterday :lol: Some dude with a henry and a pressure washer, took him 45 minutes.. Sound job too.

Bit of an overkill on those Astra's, but the techniques are interesting. If I could afford a Ferrari, I reckon 5k is pocket change.
