Detail at dealership
Paint feeling a bit rough..Had it for about 8months and getting the first 5k service Tuesday at Lexus of Orlando. Service is free of course and mostly pointless but that damn caution light on dashboard is freaking me out so forced to take it in...they offered me a detail (wash,wax and clean engine compartment, vacuum) for 109+tax..anyone have any experiences(cost,quality of service,etc) with detailing your car at your local Lexus dealer?

U know "Detail" and "Dealer" don't go well together.
And that warning light can be reset in just under 30 sec.

It'll cost you at least $250 to fix what they do to it for that $109 "detail"

Dealership wash = spray on de-ionized water, wipe off. De-ionized water does not leave hard water marks that's why they don't use soap. Most dealerships will crop dust the cars with that stuff, parked on the lot and let them air dry. They probably don't vacuum and don't wipe down anything else either.
A $120 detail to them is a typical wash everywhere else (wax is sprayed and washed off, like at most automatic car washes), no hand waxing or claying.
It's a "sucker's deal".
