| - Paid $170 what I felt was big money for a thorough interior and exterior wash and buff, but I was fine with it knowing I was coming clear across the metro to make sure I use a highly rated car wash and come out with a truly clean interior. I had just bought my truck, the previous owner left baby barf and other nasties on the carpet and seat upholstery. I left it with these guys for five hours. All said and done, the car definitely looks better. Actually, from a distance the truck on the whole looks rather pristine, a customer even shouted it as I left. But there are still several spots on the exterior covered in dirt and mud, such as the driver foot step. The interior "detailing" was a hurried shampooing plus a wipe down job. There is still a huge amount of orange-ish discoloration and black gunk in the carpet. Small bits of white stuff were still on the dash; I'd let it go were it not for seeing things change as I scratch and wipe at some of these things myself with my bare finger. The speedometer and radio had to be wiped down again before I got in the car. The car was already covered in scratches and wear, the seats had glue and cigarette burn marks, so of course I didn't expect to see any miracles, these issues don't just wash away, but come on. Orange colored goo still seeped in the carpet? Oh well. Not coming back. Had more luck with a local, lower-rated car wash service in my own neighborhood.
