I want to take my car to get it professionally detailed because it has some swirl marks (from the previous owner taking it to the do it yourself car wash). How much should this cost?

good luck with that one. i went to get a chevy beretta i had at one time detailed. man, they wanted somewhere around $400 to do it. I really don't know what the average price is, but I thought that was pretty high.

oh! believe me. i gave him a very quick no thank you and turned around. that was also in downtown Knoxville, TN. I used to get it done for $5 at where my dad works in OH. So, to me even the average price is a lot

I know of a guy in Springfield, MO that details high end cars (porsche , ferrari, lambo, etc. ) He charges about 600 for interior clean and exterior clean. He is amazing!!! He usually wetsands the exterior, paint matches, the whole shubang! INterior is better than new. The guy puts is life into the cars!!!

Just an FYI for a comparison.

spend $15 on some good meguiars a microfiber towel and you will have a nice shine without the swirls. takes some time to wax your own car but its worth it.
