World’s Most Expensive Car Wash

written by John Chow on May 6th, 2006

So you want to give your car the royal “spare no expense” treatment? Well, an entrepreneur in Surrey, England, boasts that he has a nine-month waiting list for what he says is “the best car wash in the world.” The price for the 61-step treatment? $11,500 per car.

Paul Dalton, who was interviewed by the U.K.’s Daily Record newspaper, says he spends over 64 hours on each car for what he calls the “Pinnacle Wash” treatment. The wash includes the use of a special Brazilian wax called Zymol Royale, which sells for over $7,000 for a 50oz bottle. Dalton claims the wax finishes last a full year.

Customers includes soccer celebrities and aging rocker Rod Stewart, who reportedly ordered the Pinnacle Wash for his Ferrari Enzo. Nothing’s too good for an Enzo I say. Here’s a video of Dalton washing a car.

Hmm does he really need a $100 water bucket though?

I looked up that wax out of curiosity, it’s called Zymol Vintage Glaze, and it is $1852 USD for 22 ounces, however, it is refillable for life for free, so eventually it’ll pay for itself. I am sure that Mr.Dalton’s wax has paid for itself a few times over. Amazing that a car wax can be that expensive. I thought my $20 bottle of Meguiars was expensive…
