Great story, it's certainly making it's way around. Detailing can be so gratifying I'm frankly surprised on how many people on car forums no so little about detailing. (I'm talking about the people who actually like to work on cars, not the people who have no desire/time to).

so true OC335i. i never understood why people would take their nice car to a detailer and pay out $$$ and have someone who couldnt care less do a half *** job. but i see the difference in that. people who want to do it themselves (big respect) and those who want to have that image (not so much respect).

Cool story with great pics to document the event.

One question though, what did he mean by "hd cleanse"?

That's Paul Dalton - the same guy that was on Top Gear with the $10,000 detail. Good detailer. Nothing too amazing done to the car, just an all round nice job on a killer car.

Yep, that's Paul Dalton alright. He does amazing work...he definitely worked his magic on that Veyron

Here's a link to his site. He has pictures from various cars he's done.
