Re: Cost of detailing?

Why not do the job with the daughter's shirt off? And get pics ;) On a serious note thoughh..... detail shops would probably charge about $50 or so for their crap wax. So yyou could probably do it for a bit higher, and say "well i need some help while doing it" (waxing the car). Gagan

You post the name of a place that will do a complete detail for $50 bucks and I'll buy one for you. $50 for a half-assed one coat wax job maybe. A complete in & out detail, never.
