| - If you go to Octopus and they ask if you want their express detail service - run. Run fast, and run far. Better yet, you have a car - use that. Do not just say "No, thank you." Say, "HELL NO, thank you."
I made the mistake of acquiescing to a hard sell of this service and have never been sorrier in my life. Not only did it cost me $29.99 and 20 minutes of my time at the car wash, it cost me another hour when I got home, scrubbing off whatever disgusting product they used on all the hard surfaces of the interior. It felt slippery (how nice that they put it on the steering wheel), looked greasy and had a horrible chemical smell. Just what I wanted in my 4-month-old car.
The good news is soapy water takes the stuff off. It took several changes of water because the oil slick that developed on the surface of the water killed the suds quickly. It would appear that I am stuck the the odor, however.
Do not, under any circumstances, allow them to talk you into this "service." Suck it up and wash the interior of you car, yourself. I wish I had.
