My other cars I wash them about once a month there, since i use them only for weekends, and sometimes once a month. I have a Zimmer Golden Spirit which has about 2000 miles, and is only driven when i have special occasions. For my Zimmer i pay the top of the line fee which is 10,000 dollars for special paint treatment. Hope this helped you a bit.
And for those who havent heard of a Zimmer, go to http://www.zimmermotorcars.com/index...e=4-door-sedan

Just think about it; the way these things depreciate in one year you will have spent more than the value of your car. By the way, are you part of Obama's economic team?

only for men with nothing better to do

If i've offended anyone, they can wash my S55 any time they need a fix . I'm here for you, man. I'll even let you have a Bud Light (but I'll have to buy some, I don't drink that crap )

I don't think you would be able to offend anyone here, those who could potentially be offended by your post would have to be at your level of understanding things and expressing one-self.

There is also one little flaw in your idea,even if someone accepted your invitation, your W220 would most probably brake down on the way there

I used to do the same before.. I had 4 BMWs and never thought of doing it myself / doing it myself properly or even paying for it more than 10EUR per wash.. that would make me rethink my sanity but people change, you know

Thanks for your post. I'm grateful for other opinions and learning something new. The price is steep but I'm sure it makes sense if you got such exquisite car portfolio and want to enjoy the cars at their best.

I think with regards to the pricing.. A successful man wakes up in the morning, gets to sleep at night and does whatever makes him happy in between. so there's no question about right or wrong. As Dalaylama says "You live only once"

The Zimmer is a beautiful machine with a soul..
