Man Charges $11,000 for Car Wash

Holy crap

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.

It's fascinating to listen to Sahota talk about his work mostly because I only spend a handful of quarters each time I clean my own car, but also because I'd never considered car washing to be a high tech art. [SWNS]

um wow.. is Kev still looking for help

Why? Unless it's going into some crazy car show.....

 

[ktraver97ss]

haha I can hardly get people to pay $200/detail.

Why, is a good question, unless your restoring some timeless, rare, historic car its a waste of time. Just clean it and drive it imo.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Exactly. Even concours shows don't use a microscope to judge

Unless the car is being out in a bubble the exact second it leaves this dudes garage then it's a waste.

This is nuts, absolutely nuts.

In his parent's garage! lol

 

[JDHedman]

People who pay this kind of money to clean a car never drive them. I bet from his parents garage they go onto an enclosed auto transporter back to someones auto showcase and they just look at them.

I once spent 12 hours buffing my car out. I was exhausted, give Kevin props, 200 bucks is not a bad price.

Think about it, even if it takes someone 12 hours to do a proper detail (all by them self) by the time you account for the time, electric, product, and labor 200 bucks is a really good price.

Wait a min? I call no homo.........OK I'm good
WINK WINK KEVIN...lol

joke,

you can tell his parents " garage " is pretty damn nice. so this means his family already has money and he details family and friends cars......

i'm almost insulted, as someone who does it as a side gig. FTG
