This is 30-year-old Gurcharn Sahota. He runs a car washing business out of his parents' garage. Now, before you start laughing and calling him a failure, consider this: He regularly charges up to $11,000 to clean a single car. Here's how.

Sahota specializes in cleaning high-end cars—the kind most of us can only dream of owning—and he does it incredibly well. Sometimes he'll work for up to 250 hours on a single car and use gear such as a kit of 100 cleaning solutions, a microscope, wax priced at over $12,000 per tub, and a special paint gauge to leave cars perfectly spotless.

that 250hrs of labor cost a lot! and i guess if they can afford a 2 mil bugatti then might as well get a 11g car wash. haha

I dunno if I would want him to ask me $11 000 after knowing he had given handjobs to all the cars he did.

$11,000 for 250 hours of work is only $44 an hour.

it's not THAT much money considering you pay more than $100 per hour for technicians to maintain your car.

yup.. plus the chemical he uses isn't cheap, and if he lives in Canada he would get taxed like crazy.

Judging by his accent he's from the UK so I would assume he'd be taxed more than he would here.

You do realize that only $30-$40 of that (and that is even on the high side) actually GOES to the tech? Right?

you generally want to restore paint rather then doing a full proper paint job imo. removing the glass and all the trim, hours and hours of labor, stripping old paint off, you shouldn't painting over old paint on these types of cars. looks like hes restoring the paint.

A older man that used to work at lordco that i know charges 5k for paint renewal, depending on type of car
