Ok so I really suck at washing and waxing my car. I and I have always wanted the engine cleaned so I found a guy here in my town that does the whole 9 yards. He is going to wax, wash, clean my whole inside including vacuuming and shampooing and even do the engine detail as well for a 100 bucks so I wanted to know if ya'll think it is a good deal since my husband usually washes the cars. I would do the inside myself but I suck at it all. The only cleaning I am good at is cleaning house. Plus when we had those rain storms here in tn may 1st of this year my husband managed to leave the sun roof opened a crack and the inside got wet. They guy said he could make it smell better in there as well. So what do ya'll think good deal or not?

never paid for mine to be done so I can't say really....but to me it wouldn't be worth it, but that's only becuse I can do it mself and spend $100 and something new for my car

What you're describing takes at LEAST 3-4 hours to accomplish on your own. At least it does for me to be happy with the job I've done. So, I think it's a good price. Especially if he needs to shampoo some areas affected from the rain.

I paid 125 for the exact same service. Be sure it's a hand wax though.. not a spray on crap.Otherwise it's a good deal

Yes they guy does everything by hand he even does claybar

Sounds like a good deal to me.I had a previous full detail like that in and out for $100. took about 4 hours.

aaaahhh claybar... its bout time i did that for the year!sounds like a good deal to detail your car!! do it!

Sounds like a good deal to me aswell. Especially if you don't have any of the products to preform the job yourself. That in itself can be costly, however it pays off later as you'll already have all the equipment.But not everyone likes to spend 4 hours detailing a car. I gotta admit I enjoy detailing but after 4 hours doing it by hand its not my favorite activity. I need a Porter Cable polisher!!!

If I didn't detail my own cars I would jump on that as long as you know the guy does a good job. A friend of mine does details for part of his business and he charges his customers $230.00 for a complete detail without clay bar.

you don't have a garage I can put this in, so I figured i'd throw it in here a rushed mock up of what the rims you picked would look like

Thank those will look awsome on Scarlet. I am so waiting for my rims. I just have to get a few things in order before I buy them. Thanks for the pic.

Yeah, those will look good! But what are they? I've never seen them before?I like the 4-lug bolt pattern. Also Meagan, may I suggest that if you're not going to use it, lose the front plate holder? A quick fix would be to simply push any excess plastic back into the holes and cover with touch-up paint. I did that at first and it looked ok from a few feet away. And much better than the holder by far.Or if you want to get fancier, use some clear two-part epoxy to fill the holes, then the touch up to finish it off.Neither takes that long to do or requires much skill.

I am going to use the front bumper plate I just have to find my tag with the black cat to put there. Husband had put my plate some were and I can't find it. I could always find a Black university of Tn plate with a white T to put there to but Husband would kill me for that one.

I don't know what the rims were called I found them on tirerack.com I will have to look them up again

Hey 06vibe here are the name of the rims just click on the link and it will take youto tirerack.comhttp://www.tirerack.com/wheels...ar=no

Cool! I like... LOVE the look. It bothers me that they do not list the weight or manufacturing process though. I'm sure for that price it's a low pressure casting, but wheel weight is one of those things I am very picky about.What size were you thinking about? You could go up to 17", stay w/a 205 but go to a 50 series tire, instead of a 55 series (OE) and be right near OE circumference?

I plan on going with a 17s hubby is picking the tires he knows more about it than I do lol. And I want to lower the car maybe a 1inch or so Idk like I said my husband is helping since he know more about cars than I do. I'm still learning about my car. I know a few things about mustangs but thats only because his car was the only we have ever done work on. And it was the only car for a while

Good show!! I think that's a good choice. Not too big and not too small. A nice upgrade.Besides, the bigger the wheel the heavier the wheel/tire combo is and handling, and braking could suffer. 17" is a good compromise, imo.edit: I know I've been promoting these a lot lately, but imo they are the best thing to come along in a while now. If I may, steer your husband to look into the Continental ExtremeContact DWS (Ultra High Performance All-Season) http://www.tirerack.com/tires/types/uhpas.jspThey rate very well in almost all catagories (by other consumers,) are still not that expensive, and if you live in snow country these are supposed to be among the best for light snow. They also have a nice ride. They do come in a 205/50-17" size too. We put these on my wife's Vibe a few months ago. Now I have a set for my Mazda3 too!! 'Can't wait to get them installed and see how they work.
