Home and Auto Any detailers on CP?

Silock · 05-09-2010, 10:22 PM

I need to get my car professionally detailed before I sell it, but I'm not taking it to an overpriced place.

I suck with the clay bar and really just don't want to deal with the hassle. Any recommendations?

What's a normal price in KC?

In Los Angeles, there are services that come to my house, use their water, wash, vacuum, Armor-All, Windex and leave an air freshener for $20.00. For $50, they do all of the above, plus wash the mats and hand wax.

Just curious.

I dunno. I think a full clay-bar price is somewhere around $150.

I like doing that kind of shit. Too bad you weren't closer.

If you want it done right, up here it's at least $100.

Does he do it for a living, or is it just some dude?

Back when I had my S-500, it was black. It had some car-wash/buffed swirl marks, it really pissed me off.

Anyhow, The Mother branded clay-bar will get rid of those too, FWIW.

A clay bar will not do anything with swirl marks. Polish is what is needed for those.

What kind of shape is your car in. If it not to bad, just whip out the shopvac, the wax, a little armor all and do it yourself.

He asked about detailing his car, not what you do when your home alone...
