Remembering that he said he had around 2-3 customers, I would say not much of a car. He also said he doesnt give his own car the same treatment. lol

obviously the guy can clean a car better than we can so i think he does notice hes washing it in the sun but not care must be a reason for it

At least the car can be cleaned in a day.

That's why at the end of the video they say that he has 61 cars signed up for this treatment.

61 cars once a year (10,000) = 610,000

Sounds like he's doing quite well to me.

Even better I'm guessing... if they're repeat customers and the wax only lasts 6 months, they probably come back at that time. But he did say that if they call, he hops in the van to go clean it... so either he has a van as a company car or just has the van.

My boss pays $2k every two weeks to get his 5 cars detailed. Beside people who own Bugattis and such do not drive them much so they likely would only have this done a couple times a year.
