Looks like the poopoo is wiping it down and checking for drugs.

I think the general concensus is just do it yourself. It's not difficult and like it has been mentioned before it adds a personal satisfaction knowing the job was done correctly.

I took mine to a hand carwash for first time and the guy stalled it like four times. I just shook my head and thought to myself, never again. I'll just keep washing and waxing it myself.

If it's new give it a real good wash using good car soap and wax it. If paint feels smooth (no grainy feel) and if there aren't swirl marks polish and claybar is not necessary (in my opinion). By the way the Maguires NTX wax is amazing, it's so easy to use even a cave man could do it. From my experience the type of cloth and cleanliness of the cloth you use for wash, wax and polish makes all the difference.

the 200 is everything, but buffing... so if i wanted it buffed, glazed etc i would pay the additional rate, but if i dont want my interior cleaned and just exterior i think i could pay alot less
