Using a pressure washer! They should be shot immediately if the blokes at the factory saw this they would go mad

I watched a thing on tv with the same guy i think. for the crazy price he charges i'd at least expect him to take the wheels of and maybe jack up the car and clean underside.

shudda jacked it up, and not used a power hose.
I would expect them to take the wheels off at least when detailing. he does seem quite good at buffing, as the paint did come up alot better.
what i would give to have a Veyron.

It was a press / demo car. Lots of high speed track time for journalists and the like.
