Just had her minor detailed by my brother's neighbor who has a mobile detailing business. Not bad for $30 👍. Only thing is now all the rock chips on the hood are now visible. All the trucks on the highway spew debris and rocks, I could hear several "hits" while I was on way to SoCal. I can also see an impact on the windshield, hopefully it doesn't turn into a crack

The hood also likely gets hit extra hard because the front end is so low. This was an issue with my 03 ES300 also

He fully detailed it inside and out. Took nearly an hour. I handed $40 🙂

Can’t fully detail a car in an hour. He did a good detailed wash, $40 is fair for that… $30 is cheap. Running it through the carwash here with the inside is $47 lol

Remember we discussed PPF. Are those rock chips/bug splatter on the front bumper on drivers side?

Doubtful, or he would have posted it for sure. Probably 12 different flavors of alfalfa sprouts.
