Rubbish episode IMO
That Valetter, Must be so hard cleaning cars that are virtually showroom anyway. Give him a 20 year old ratty 911 and see him get it perfect. IMHO you'd need to be a mug to pay him anywhere near the several grand he charges!
And to be honest, anyone can buy Zymol and put it on the same and gt the same results.

If I bought all the polish (not the expensive stuff) and microfibres and power tools he had. I reckon anybody (well maybe not you James ) in 2 days could have a car in as good a condition. In so much as both cars would look as good as they ever will. Theres no rocket science involved its still just prep, put it on right then polish it off.

Was just reading his site http://www.miracledetail.co.uk.
And tbh he sounds like a Wanker
Notice the highlighted part
And tbh he sounds like a Wanker
I won't take on staff like some of the larger detailing companies, because I haven't met anyone as passionate about detailing as me. Standards would slip. Every car I detail is an advertisement for my business;
I couldn't allow for a half decent job to be under my banner."
I couldn't allow for a half decent job to be under my banner."
Interior Detail
All interior surfaces cleaned and prepared, including inner glass, roof lining and all vinyl/plastic surfaces. Carpets and upholstery cleaned using an extraction machine. Leather surfaces are carefully cleaned, prepared and fed using the finest leather products available.
Estimated time: 1-2 hours
Estimated cost: £75-£150

I wonder what an extraction maching looks like.
I wonder if its anything like a Vacuum cleaner He seems to like to baffle with bullshit. Which is probably the sort of thing his customers like.
His Gallery is full of virtually brand new cars that hes put several hours into. How dirty/wrecked can a brand new car actually be?

Sure, sticking 5 layers of polish on top will help hide the imperfections. But short of a full respray theres not much you can do is there.
If I understand he checks how thick the paint is then cuts off a layer (x microns thick) in the accepted sense.
