Here`s another one:

"Keeping my car detailed will not add to it`s resale value. It`s worth the same whether it`s detailed or not."

IMO it does add value, because it shows that the owner has taken care of the car, not only mechanically, but cosmetically as well.

For most people, they would buy a nicely detailed car as opposed to a car, same condition & miles, that was not kept clean.

To see just how much the condition of your vehicle affects its valuation and its resale value I examined some figures from Kelly?s Blue Book and Glass`s Guide. The only variable that changed for each vehicle was its condition, rated fair or excellent, with a scale of poor, fair, good or excellent. This clearly shows the significant differences in the value of maintaining your vehicle.

The average difference was over three thousand dollars or 16% more when comparing the value from fair to excellent. These figures do not solely reflect the added value of detailing, but clearly it`s a large component of the equation.

But it looks so cool when done by an Englishman in red braces (suspenders) almost as cool as aiming a laser at the cars body - but proves nothing
