Long Island detailers...

How much do you guys think is a fair price for a Dodge Ram 1500 Quad cab? Exterior, interior, engine

I've been looking for detailing but the prices are way too high. The paint isnt all too bad

I don't think anyone can really answer that without seeing the truck. I wouldn't trust anyone that gave a price sight unseen either. I think you can probably get some ballparks on here though.

Basically you have 2 options. Pay once and then just buy some quality materials to maintain what a good detailer did for you or spend the money you would have spent on detailing on a PC and some pads/polishes/sealants etc and do it yourself.

Make that 3 options....You can track down a few of teh guys on here that are mobile and can travel to you. I am sure their prices are way under their quality of work! GSRStilez comes to mind and I think TopNotch do work on LI.

hey topnotch, might be an obvious answer, but i would just want you to PC to remove swirls....i'm in the northport area and right before i bring it to you i'd wash and clay... and after you PC, i'd just seal it up myself... all this of course because i'd rather not spend unnecessary cash...
this'd be ok right?

G35stilez will become famous soon enough
Option 4: Have topnotch or myself do the detail but give pointers as we go along. This will help prolong the finish and put you on the right path to being an Autopian .
