Re: What does a professional detail cost

You only do this to save money? Wow, that's different motivation than most. I personally wouldn't let most "professional" detailers anywhere near my car. I do it myself because I know only I can produce the results that will satisfy me.

Okay, I won't get myself started here otherwise I might not stop. But seriously there are other benefits from doing the job yourself besides a few bucks. Short term: professional detailer cheaper. Long term: better results than from most professional detailers, cheaper to do it yourself.

If you just want to make the car look pretty one time and don't care about it the rest of the time (GASP ) then you could go to a professional detailer, but I wouldn't recommend it too strongly. You will save money in the long term, even if you get addicted to trying new stuff like most of us are. Consider $100 every few months or $.00 to do it yourself for a long time (high startup cost to detail).

Just my $0.005
