Just got the TA detailed I just got the car detailed at a local plave today and I didn't know my car could look this good! It came out way better than I thought it would. They washed the car, clay bar'd it, washed it again, then they went over it with a buffer using a compound, then using again with the buffer using a polish, and then they hand waxed the car. I have tried doing it myself and tried meeting up with others to get some help but no luck. So I broke down and just had to get it done, but I don't regret it at all.

Thanks guys, I never expected the car to come out looking that clean, most of all the scratches were taken out and like I said just left so smooth.

Actually I think I got a pretty decent deal on the car... they washed it, clay bar'd it, washed it again, buffed it with a compound, buffed it with a polish, and then they waxed it by hand for a total of $150.

Thats actually pretty cheap. Remember detailing a car involves more than just washing and waxing. Most of the money charged goes towards the polishing and the time spent doing it. In fact 150 is a really good deal for a two stage polishing job. Hopefully they did it properly and not just used fillers which is a temporary fix. Car looks good 68birdls1.
