Detailing the car... After this video, makes me want to try myself lol

Just figured I would share a video I found today.



I've never detailed my own car but really want to start after watching this video!

Its very satisfying detailing your own car, plus you know it's been cleaned correctly.

Any idea on the cost of a detail service like this?

The prices are in sterling as he's in the UK.

I'm just getting over Covid and I've not got the strength to clean my X5 at the moment so I've arranged for a mobile detailer to come to my house and give mine a maintenance wash, he's charging me £45

each area would be different honestly, around me, its about $250 for a FULL detail like this. I just had a more basic one done for $140 last week. It included the same exterior treatment, but less inside cleaning as the inside is fairly clean. The exterior also only got a 1 month coating as opposed to the 3 month coating that is offered for the $250.

In all honesty, they did a fairly shitty job as I still saw water marks and some streaks in places which I had to point out to them, so I don't want to get it done again in the future, instead, started looking at what would be needed to do it myself.
