My brother owns (or owned) one of the biggest car valeting companies in GB until recently after 16 years building it up.
One sales 'arm' was the stock they used to supply Detailers / high end distributors / main showrooms.
These end users have built an empire on cleaning and polishing cars. One of their techniques involves using some of the latest chemicals (which has been sourced from eastern Europe) which comes with a 5 year guarantee with the need never to polish your car again???? [How does that work then?].
Anyway, my brothers company sell this wholesale for £36 a bottle after buying it for £15 from Europe.
The end user then charges....wait for it....£600 to valet a car with this product. The rest of the package charge is used to cover the labour (4-6hrs) and profit. All from a £15 bottle of gunk - sprouts forth an entire industry of detailing.
And do you know what - the punter falls for it hook line and sinker. You couldn't make it up.
