robinho Member 26 Member For: 16y 8m 3d Posted 26/11/08 01:02 AM Share Posted 26/11/08 01:02 AM Hi all, I've had my bf t for about 3 months now, but there are some paint swirls and minor water spills on the back seat. (f**king pissed me off too!!!)For a good car detail, I was wondering what actually gets done, I.e. interior/exterior, and how much should I expect to pay for such?

From steam cleaning of the seats (which looks like what you need) to leather conditioning of leather seats to an exterior clay or 'Cut and Polish'. also gets rid of minor scratches and stuff. the detail includes a thorough clean for outside and inside, including alloy wheal sealant etc. The complete detail makes the car in showroom condition, basically! this service ranges form about 190-300. generally it costs about 200 to do(depending on your needs). Hope that helped!Lemme know if you have any further questions!Vebbers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/52005-car-detailingwhat-gets-done-and-how-much/#findComment-779008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
