Hey , I know lexus does compound, simonizing and detailing. They told me for compound &simonize would run me $140. I think that is a fair price. Has anyone ever got their car waxed from the lexus dealer? If so, can you tell me how it looked after?

Thanks guys

Thumbs down No Way!

DM - My wife had the GS detailed at the dealership the first time she brought it in & it looked worse than it did when it came in!! Swirls everywhere - thank God Alex put me onto Zaino! I raised some kinda H*** & didn't have to pay but I watched the detail guys do another Lexus. U could tell that they wanted to just get it done & move onto the next one - can't blame them as they work on commision but never again!! Might just be my dealership. They don't even ask if I want the free wash whenever I bring it in for maintenance anymore. Don't know how the prices run where U live but $140 is high for my area to compound/wash/wax/detail. It runs $65-$85 here but be careful with the compounding part. If they don't know what they're doing, they'll scratch the H*** out of your ryde. Hope the Alpine project's coming along OK?

Biggie, how much did they charge you for that? You did detailing alone, or with waxing outside too?
