    "Mid January (2010), FI will carry out its 1st 'Concours' $12,500, 2 week, Flagship Detailing Service"

    Yeah, definetly was $12.5k. 4 guys working for 150 hours they reckon

    I couldn't imagine the pain and boredom of cleaning a car with cotton wool buds.

    Does look great though

    Bloody hell!! :eek::eek:

    That equates to around $83 an hour. ($12,500 over 150 hrs) Not too bad really as I assume that includes labour AND materials used. :):)

    That did a fantastic job none the less! :D:D

    Oh yeah, thats the reality. :D:D

    And if you divide $12,500 by 4 blokes...............that is $3125 each for 10 days of work detailing a Ferrari icon, the F40. :eek::eek:

    In the world of detailing isn't there some hellishly expensive gear at the top end of town that they use?

    You know, like the nipple grease of a red peruvian beetle which squirts 3 drops only on Sundays and they need a gallon of it etc.

    Don't forget the materials cost, not just "supercheap autocare detergent" I'm betting lol.
