Getting car detailed

And Simple Green for under the hood... good stuff. If you go to a place such as a car wash place, they might use products that are good, but not quite as good as the single person doing it. The car wash place is about volume getting it in then out as quick as they can.

Absolutely. Which is why I'd rather pay more to have someone do it right. The other option is okay if you just want to get the mud and grime off a car in a hurry, or if you're one of those folks that your car is nothing more than a conveyance. (the later type of folks mystify me)

I know as an individual, I take my time (don't charge by the hour though LOL) and do it right. I suppose its a craftsmanship vs. assembly line concept.
