Have some extra bucks ? It cost you just £7,200 for a carwash :D
One Guy for UK Gurcharn Sahota charges a staggering £7,200 for Britain’s most expensive car wash which he does – from his PARENTS’ GARAGE.
Car-nut Gurcharn, 30, has a string of celebrity clients and takes up to 250 HOURS to clean each motor.
He has cleaned hundreds of dream machines including a Lamborghini Gallardo , Bugatti Veyron and an orange McLaren F1 GTR worth £5 million.
Since he started the business five years ago he has travelled the world with his hi-tech kit which includes a microscope, 100 cleaning fluids and £8,200 car wax.
Gurcharn charges customers up to £7,200 for a wash which includes polishing and buffing every inch of the car inside and out – FIVE times.
He even uses a computerised microscope – normally used by forensic scientists – to examine the body work for the minutest scratch not even visible to the naked eye.
Started his passion for cleaning by washing his neighbours’ cars with a bucket and a sponge – for FREE.
He said: ”When I was younger I washed neighbours’ cars and my dad’s car whenever I could.
”They never paid me, I loved it so much I did it for free.
”Things have built up from there and now I’m cleaning some of the fastest, most powerful sports cars in the world.
He built a Formula 1-style pit for scrubbing the underneath of cars and layered the entire workshop floor and walls with specialist tiles imported from Italy which help reflect flecks of dirt on the cars.
After spending hundreds of hours cleaning by hand he uses a £5,000 computerised microscope which examines the car for blotches and scratches.
Gurcharn studied accountancy at university but practiced in his friend’s body workshop in Birmingham.
He moved home to start his car detailing business ‘Elite Detailing’ cleaning cars in his mum and dad’s garage.
Rich drivers flocked from hundreds of miles away to his mum’s garage to have their motors’ body work cleaned.
His customers, have even flown Gurcharn as far away as Jordan, Germany, Monaco and Brussels for his services.
He travels with up to 100 different cleaning fluids that need special clearance at customs. The wax alone he uses costs a cool £8,200 a tub.
