wanting to detail the entire truck including under the hood to clean all the dirt up

[PimpingA1997Jimmy]

My nabors owns a car lot he said his detial guy can clean up the truck and make it look just like it would on the car lot clean under the hood degress eveyring for like 110 dollars

i have been told that that is not somthing to do in the winter is that corect that i should have eveyrhtign under the hood cleaned should i wait till its not wet outside ?

$110 just to clean under the hood? If so, your crazy for considering it. If its for everything, your crazy too. As most car lot/dealership detailers are hack.

You can clean under the hood for less then $10 and have it look better then the dealership. As far as waiting till winters over, if you have a heated shop I'd say go for it as you can clean/detail the engine good. If not, just wait till spring as who's going to see the motor in the winter? Or are you trying to sell it right now?

yea, f that, i'd take the time to do it myself.

[ls1s10onair]

id do it myself, but if the guy is a professional detailer, 110 isnt bad.... most places start at 150. as of doing it now, its a waste imo, because in the winter, itll look like crap in under a week..... that is if they salt as much by you as they do by me

when i had my lincoln i use to stand outside for hours all summer long had now power washer so i would stand over the hood for hours with this purple stuff i picked up fromt walmart greece lighting i think not sure
what it was and i would scrub and scrub untill it was cleanr but i could not get into every crack

ya, i made that thread.



110 is cheap.


i would charge 75 to detail inside....
65 to wax it....
and 25 for the motor.

thats 165 and does not include buffing the outside, thats a hand wax. if it needs a buffer its 150 for the outside (minus the 65 wax price though)

$110 isn't a bad price, but I'd wait 'til we're closer to show season.

x2. Might as well wait a bit till the rain and crappy weather goes away. But ya $110 for a detail like that isn't bad at all

i did detailing at 2 dealerships for several years and thats a good price but most places want it done quick and alot of peaple that work there are half ass with it so might be worth it to do it your self
