The near two-week,52-step program includes citrus degreasing, filtered water, and many sponges and buckets. The car wax alone, at $13,000a tube, costs more than the service itself. Dalton, however, points out that the service protects the car for a year.<br/><br />(Hats off to Dhiram and Noah!)<br /><br />[Source: Guardian Unlimited via New Launches; Luxist]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/05/05/how-about-a-9-000-car-wash/">How about a $9,000 car wash?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 05 May 2006 08:48:00 EST.
