Hey no worries I didn't see it anyway but to be honest I also do think Mark can be a little OTT, ok not so much of the little he can get well OTT, but thats his hobby come beer money.
I have had some flak from earning what I do from cleaning cars but there is a market and if I don't fill the hole someone else will, and I like to think I have built a good reputation for what I do, without advertising. Also as I said not many people can have Ferrari's, Lambo's, Bentley's, Porsche's etc delivered to your door by a dealer and know that you have to deliver it to XYZ next week all cared for, 2 months ago I was given a F430 CS, brand new, I was asked to clean it etc, drive it round for 2 weeks, get it down to dealer for 1st service and then deliver it to Silverstone for the Owners club track day, the owner was off on holiday and didn't want to mess about driving it till the service, I did all that and was paid for my time/effort
Yep Zymol Royale is £7k a pot, though its free refills for life, so other than a large purchase price it soon becomes cheaper, to the point where it almost becomes free, in fact many who use it charge £200-300 per coat so by the time they have used 1/2 of it its all paid for and then its pure profit from there on in. The Swissvax Divine I use at £1300 is not refilled at all, when its gone I buy another, its also a lot smaller so I only get 25-30 coats before I'm out I do charge between £75 and £100 per coat but this includes the 2 hours needed to apply and remove so I actually only make pennies from this.
Add to this the fact that I co-own a handmade chocolate shop in Norwich (just ask Waffles
) and I don't think I could ask for a better job/s in life.
Anyway yes some are OTT/Sad/OCD but lets not forget that they probably think the same about some of us paying £20+ to ride 100miles on open UK roads, or riding in the rain, wearing Lycra etc, form different view points everything is either acceptable or stupid, so I say let things be and then we are not the focus of others attacks
