Ya know, he uses a bucket imported from America! lol

He may be high dollar, but he still doesn't follow some very basic washing rules. You shouldn't wash a car in direct sunlight. The droplets magnify the sunlight and burn tiny holes into the paint. Also, you should only wash on panel at a time, rince, then move on to the next panel.

On top of that, it looked like he used a sponge instead of a sheepskin mit. I checked the conversion rate. He is getting over $10,000 to do this????

just goes to show you that dudes with money don't really have a clue. If it costs a lot, it must be good! Ha, the only special things he does is use a refractometer to look at the paint from a microscopic point of view. Oh, and he uses some natural, over-priced wax. I'll bet that Zaino and Zymol offer better protection and shine from a technological point of view. I need to start doing that job! $10,000 per car? Ridiculous. I'll bet those owners see a shiny car, and say, "Wow, that was worth it!" I could do the same thing for a hundred bucks or so, labor included! hahahahaha

Easy there...Paul Dalton is a marketing genious. He has found his niche and has targeted them precisely. Yeah, we can all find some faults with his techniques, but he is certainly better than the average guy. If you research him a little more you will see that he truly has some skill in his work, which is rare to find these days with all of these volume-driven detail shops. But, is he overpriced...I think so.
