How much does a quick detail costs?
For those who don't detail their cars, how mug does it cost to get the job done? I'm in the NYC area. I don't have the time nor experience to do it so im looking to have someone do it.
Btw what does a detail include that a wash and wax doesn't?
Thanks! Sorry for the newb questions!

You should ask in the North East section

Cost range from 100 (car wash) to 500 bucks (personal mobile detailer).

Go to autopia.org. It's a Professional car detailing forum. Many professional detailers are in that forum. By "professional" I meant dealing with exotic cars like Ferraris, Lambos, you name it. They will guide you how to achieve a great car detailing (if you decide to do it yourself). If you own a house, I don't see why not do it yourself.
Or you can find a professional detailer from that forum. I forgot his name (something with "Corvette.."). Remember dealing with a PRO means quite expensive ($400 for most basic and above). They don't use OTC stuffs like Turtle Wax. But trust me, these guys are not in the same level with detailers in dealerships or public car wash (who rarely change their clothes). These guys are PROs.
Just to give you an idea:

REAL detailing with paint correction usually STARTS at $250. Thats for a very basic job. Now if you want some hack to do it cheap, or the dealership, that will probably be around $100. But theres a good chance your car will come back with swirls and holograms.

I still have spyder swirls in the paint he said if i wanted all those gone he would need an entire day and more $$$ of course. He did say though that he managed do either lighten them up alot or removed a bunch of them during the detail so overall i was quite happy with it.
