$159.95 gets you...

A terrible detail.

I was getting the work car washed yesterday and while waiting inside for them to clean the interior of the car, I decided to entertain myself by watching a guy do an exterior detail. What made me cringe was seeing him use a DA polisher on full speed to get someone's brand new black Audi cleaned at the same time as waxing. The car had dust and a little bit of debris on it, and he went right over all of it without washing it first. OUCH!

I do not let anyone touch anything of mine unless I do not feel comfortable doing it myself. Just asking for issues IMHO.

And as the sun hits the side of the car you see where every pass with the buffer was...

If I can't do it myself I call a buddy of mine who does high end details. He takes around 6-8 hours a car. For the time he takes, at 200 is worth it. Looks better than showroom.

I get the detail packages off Groupon ($75). After my wife and kids get through with my cars any use of a buffer on them is welcome. I'll be taking the wifes lexus in with 200k on it for the detail in a few weeks. Then it will go straight to the trade in booth.

Sounds like you got the dealer installed swirl package.

^ Not me but someone's poor Audi was getting tortured. Sad thing is, the person probably wont even notice the [censored] job.

Wow. Almost like you are kidding but I know this junk happens. I may abuse my older cars with a little exterior neglect but that is pure intentional damage.

Its finally raining in California.

My cars are getting their $0 wash jobs.

After a $75 detail, trading it in is a wise decision. Some of the most damaged vehicles I have done in my shop were the result of being "detailed" cheaply by some so called "detailer" via Groupon.

I almost ran out and covered the cars in soap while it was raining last night. But then I realized water falling from the sky is not a natural phenomenon and should not subject myself to it.

"It Pours"!

from an old song that I remember.
