The owner of this car actually has a cleaning business of his own, so he understands the effort that goes into properly cleaning and enhancing the exterior of a car. I did some quick math, and this particular car has around 180 square feet of paint to work on, that about the same square footage as a medium size bedroom. I spend 8 hours working on the exterior of this car. That may seem like a lot, but let's look closer and compare to that bedroom. I washed and decontaminated the paint and thoroughly cleaned the wheels, that's pretty similar to dusting, vacuuming and taking care of a few spots on the furniture. I also cleaned the windows and dressed the trim, that's pretty similar to cleaning the bedroom windows and any wood trim. Finally, I polished and sealed the paint, the best thing we can compare this to in a bedroom is sanding and refinishing wood floors. Now forget about the product and tool cost and just think about the labor involved to do that to a bedroom, now consider the cost of that amount of work. The owner has no issue paying for this to be done right, because he understands the amount of effort required to get the results he wants.
