How the hell dose a pot of wax cost £7118!!! did he miss of the decimal point?

Maybe the other 27% is ear wax harvested from the Amazonian Neeeooompah beetle. to get them to sit still whilst you dig around with a cotten bud - hence the cost.

OK, so I made this up.

I saw this guy on a documentary recently - maybe discovery channel or men & motors ( pre-watershed BTW) - he certainly is at the very top of the 'valet' tree. There was one particular wax that he applied by, firstly degreasing his hands in an alcohol cleanser, then applying the wax to his hands, waiting for a few minutes for it to get to body temperature and then massaging it directly onto the bodywork as if he was working in a turkish bath.

The finished results were impressive...... but at the cost 1/4 of a disco3 each time I think I'll settle for water and a chamois
