Remembering that he said he had around 2-3 customers, I would say not much of a car. He also said he doesnt give his own car the same treatment. lol

He is getting a lot of money to do what some of us do every weekend (a little different scale but you guys aren't getting paid so just imagine getting $5000 to make the car washing labor 4 or 5 times as intense as you're used to) Still beats a month of work more or less depending on your job. At least the car can be cleaned in a day.

That's why at the end of the video they say that he has 61 cars signed up for this treatment.

61 cars once a year (10,000) = 610,000

Sounds like he's doing quite well to me.

Even better I'm guessing... if they're repeat customers and the wax only lasts 6 months, they probably come back at that time. But he did say that if they call, he hops in the van to go clean it... so either he has a van as a company car or just has the van.

My boss pays $2k every two weeks to get his 5 cars detailed. Beside people who own Bugattis and such do not drive them much so they likely would only have this done a couple times a year.
