      I noticed this lol. These guys are ripping people off. Looks like they didn’t even machine polish nor did they ceramic cost lol what an absolute bump. These are clearly overcharging. I know companies which are just at competitive, yet offering for a lower price.

    These are great cars as mine was a 300SL 24 Valve. Very easy to clean with the car form and the high quality leather simple to refresh. The high cost for a valet was not a smart business move and just for the show purposes.

    Not surprised about the 1300 valet price charged. The same guy jumps in a white van, drives 300miles, visits a 50 room mansion and buys a 100 quid table. And the only thing, allegedly, the wee man lifts is skirts.

      Yeah, call out here for a full valet is priced on the vehicle being valeted, some of the polishes & waxes cost daft money, when you ever see a mobile valeted driving a beat up Ford Transit (nowt wrong with them js), they have these top MRST Designer vans, fat rims, and a top* paint job & logo lol

    • @karl3927
      @karl3927 2 роки тому

      Certainly no motor trader would ever spend £1300 on a valet. From what I could see the guy cleaning the inside was using a magic eraser and some general purpose cleaner. They might as well gone to their local Tesco/Asda and bought some household cleaning items and all in one car polish such as Autoglym.
