Anyone else who can do a good job without the high price? lemme kno. interested in the next few weeks or sooner. Thanks.

His price seems pretty steep. I've seen some for like 160 bucks. I'll call around first. Although I don't know how good the onces Ive found are. Thanks for replying.

I would stay away from Gem. I went their once with my old wrx and had a not so pleasant experience. My painted side skirts came out with scratches. I had signed a waiver which the manager told me was for the spoiler only when I pointed out the scratches. Why the hell does it matter?! But instead of taking action I just let it go, I figured it would be more trouble to make an official complaint. Bottom line is, you get what you pay for...

Just clean it yourself you *****!
It's a satisfying experience spending 3 or 4 hours cleaning your car then getting to drive it around knowing you cleaned it yourself.

i 2nd the cleanin it yourself. most detailin places dont use top of the line products.. save that 120-160 and use it on buyin top of the line products and clean it youself. only true owners clean their car.. i dont trust other people. plus you'll have more then enough to detail it more then once...
