I am glad you brought that up, Paul Dalton is a very succesfully detailer, Many super rich guys hire him to detail their rides from all over the world.
but for some reasons he was banned by the UK detailing forum and many other UK famous detailers dont like him.
His washing technique wasnt the perfect in the show, the car should be snow foamed (To eliminate dirts and grimes on the car) before he should start using the sponge, and should be using the two buckets method instead of one washing bucket.
Maybe this is why other pros think he shouldnt charge the sky high price for his technique

Their washing process:
1)Hose down the car with water
2)Wash wheels
3)Foaming the whole car with their machine
4)Hand wash with Sheep matt (The sheep matt will trap dirts and reduce the chance of scratching the paint)
5)Blow all the water out using the air compressor (All gaps and wheels)
6)Wipe with clean "Micro Fiber" cloth (They using different colour MF cloth on different part of the car. e.g Body, wheel, interior)
7)Dry wheels and apply conditioner on tyre wall
It costs around 150HKD per wash for the mid size saloon, its expensive but i have no complain so far.
