Kuwait....Would you spend $10,000 getting your car waxed?

[Joanne98]

Would you spend $10,000 getting your car waxed? I know I wouldn't - but Lebanese blogger Mark, who lives in Kuwait, draws our attention to someone who did just that.

Mark writes:

Back in December I posted about a user on YouTube called paradise1man who had just received his Bugatti Veyron and shot a video of it and uploaded it online. Well I just checked his account now and he has a ton of more videos the latest is of Paul Dalton, “The worlds best car cleaner” who came in all the way from the UK to clean his car.

The video above is of Paul Dalton waxing the car which alone costs $10,000. If it was me I would have probably gotten bored of the car a month later and just started taking it to the Bayan (local) car wash…

Paradiseman responds to the post saying:

just want to tell you some thing,you did not know how much he cost me if it was $10000 or $1?and you don’t know if he was my friend or not,maybe he is making it for free you never know,i think i will keep you all guessing,sorry if i said anything hurt your feelings,but i love you all and god bless you,good luck and have a nice day.

Paradise1man has a collection of videos on YouTube featuring his precious collection of cars and the world class treatment they get. Here's the video of the alleged $10,000 car wax:

1. Jeez -

how bored must paradiseman be to actually videotape someone waxing his car?

2. Paul Dalton is a genius with detailing, though.

If somebody pays $1.5M for a car, having it detailed correctly is worth $10k.

3. If I pay $10,000 to get my car waxed - fucking A I'm taping it

4. I met a guy in Kuwait...

... who gave away his new (6 months old) Mercedes because it was "broken".

He had filled up the ashtray with his cigarettes. That "broke it" in his mind. Daddy bought him a new one.

Sigh

5. This reminds me of "Syriana"

and the princes of some fictitious oil-rich country spending $50,000 for a night in a hotel room, with the Matt Damon character warning them that eventually they were going to squander it all and end up right back where they started before oil was found there.
