It varies a lot. Depends on the overall condition and who is doing it. Some charge a lot more than me, some charge less. Also in different regions in the country the prices can be significantly lower or higher.

Typically a job like this will run 300-500. But like I said, some charge more, some charge less.

I haven't secured it to to the console just yet, but 3m tape is probably what I'll use....

Thanks for answering this question Jeff. I was going to respond with something similar but it's better that it came from you.

Good to know. I'll have to see how others have attached it then if the 3M tape doesn't work.

Looks good, you shouldnt wash and dry it under the sun like that, will dry too fast. Just my 0.2 cents though.

I didn't detail it GoFast did. If it dried to fast I couldn't tell when I picked it up. I though my paint was replaced with mirrors.....

Well, the garage doesn't have drains, so I have to wash outside. But I don't dry it outside. In 7 years of doing this, I've never had one issue with waterspots.

I can vouch for this. IF there were waterspots they were eradicated when I picked the car up lmfao

Ok, that makes sense. Thats what I do, wash it outside then pull it into my guarage to dry it. I also do that cause I have a tree above me and it likes to drop **** all the time, so thats why I dry it inside. Looks good though either way.

I was also wondering about the spider webbing. I've got some pretty bad spiderwebbing on my rear bumper. Is that something you could take off by polishing it like you did here or does it require paint?

the terminology used can confuse things... Are you talking about what looks like swirlmarks, or are you talking about actual spider cracks? Swirls can be removed, cracks cannot.
