Grooming your Maine Coon cat

Now that we are bringing a Maine Coon into our home soon I had thoughts of grooming him and found this really good instructional video. I'm thinking this cat has to be incredibly docile to allow such a long grooming session including a bath given by someone other than his owner. It seems though that he's used to regular grooming. Perhaps I need to consider starting our Monty early so it's all part of his routine.
