Car will be a 2005 WRX STi w/ 16k miles and clean body, but minor scratches and what comes along with a not-as-pristinely-cared-for as I would do finish, engine bay cleaning would be nice too.

I need a good detail in Grand Rapids too, except I am looking for a full service interior, engine bay, and exterior. My car is a mess after this winter and needs some serious professional TLC. I have a 2003 Honda Civic Si Hatchback.

WOW... I will be VERY interested to see the quality of work for that price and VERY SURPRISED if it is up to Autopian standards..



What is the economy like in GR? Is it in the toilet (relative to the rest of Michigan)? If not I would be nervous if I were you:scared:

LOL what economy? having a STi here is like having a lambo just about, i mainly flip my cars for profit so if it's not PERFECT i won't much care, but judging the work they do on the other cars in the shop i was pretty impressed, i throughly inspected them under fluroscent light and i know what i'm looking at/for



this car currently with the low mileage and age is in good condition, but there's a lot of haze/top layer swirls on the clear from autowashes or improper washing habits, only noticable in direct sunlight... shouldn't be hard to correct

WOW.. amazing how while we live in the same state our markets are totally different.. I dont even bring a polishing machine out of it's bag for less that $100



Hope your car turns out well and makes you a profit!
 
Here in Holland details at these types of shops are still going for $150-$200. They always have the vehicles they do sitting outside just before their clients arrive and I stopped by to look at one before and was pretty impressed, they definitely had attention to detail....but $65 I would be surprised if they do anything more than slap a glaze on it. The place where I get my oil changed even charges $100 for details - you get what you pay for.
 
They did a glaze with a rotary and a sealer with an orbital, i'm damn impressed for $65, never seen world rally blue look this good and the haze/swirls are GONE

The only question that remains is.....for how long are they gone?
