World's Most Expensive Car Wash!

Hi ya. How's it going, sunshine? Ready for coffee and a virtual treat? Of course you are. That's why you're here, right? That and the scintillating conversation... even if it is a little one-sided. Your choice though...you are always welcome to comment on my rantings and ravings. Meanwhile a niche market is one thing but here's a guy who has found the 'ultimate' niche.

Some people prefer to wash their cars with a hose in order to save a few bucks, but for car owners with money to burn The Ultimate Shine, a car cleaning company based in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, is offering the ultimate car cleaning experience for the unbelievable price of £100,000 ($150,000).

You’re probably thinking “this can’t be true”, right? That’s more than a brand new luxury vehicle! But apparently, for many of the world’s rich and famous, $150,000 is a fair price to pay to have their exclusive rides looking squeaky-clean. 

Paul Wilkins, who owns and runs The Ultimate Shine says his service isn’t aimed at the average driver who keeps his Ford Fiesta parked on the side of the road, but at rich car collectors who keep their rare and expensive vehicles in temperature-controlled showrooms and want them to look perfect. 

Although he doesn’t want to reveal the identities of his high-profile clientele, 34-year-old Wilkins says he cleans about three cars at the price of £100,000 per year. He also assures interested clients that they’ll be getting their money’s worth.

So...if he does three cars a year and spends, what, a week or so on each car then has the rest of the year off, that's not a bad way to go, eh? Mind you he's probably bored out of his mind most of the time sitting home counting his money. Me? I am not big on washing cars. Ask Nong. We bought our Nissan in December. Haven't been to a car wash or taken a hose to it yet. Frequent days such as today (raining all night and still at it...) have been most helpful!

See ya, eh!
