$250 should cut it but it will be close like you said. I think the basic DA package is like $150 and that comes with 1 polishing and 1 finishing pad. What carpet steamers are you guys using or should I say what type of machine are you guys using to clean really bad carpets.

True, I agree with you that he'd be pushing it to get it all for $250. But what about the next time he wants it detailed? More than likely if he goes back to the guy and spends another $250 he will kick himself for not getting the stuff to start with. You're up to $500 then. And every detail after that tacks on even more. I think you'd be saving money by time you get a second detail. This being the case he's much better off buying the stuff to start with so he has it all readily available.

If you don't have the time to do it yourself then it sound like a good price IMO, at least considering the size of our trucks. If you've got time I recommend buying the stuff to DIY. It may cost more than a detail from them, but you'd be able to do it whenever you want to and the savings would be much greater in the long run. I've just recently gotten into detailing but I find it relaxing. Good way to spend some free time.

I took my truck to heritage car wash in Denton and got a full detail for $135.00. It included full service wash, wheel cleaning, clean wheel wells, remove oxidation, remove light scratches, condition rubber moldings and for the interior shampoo carpets, seats and clean and condition leather if you have it. I sat and watched the guy for alittle bit and he clayed the whole truck and when it was finished he got most all the scratches out and ALL the swerl marks. The truck looked AMAZING! They spent about 3 1/2 hours on it thought that was really good for the price. here's there website www.heritagecarwash.com
My neighbors kid goes to UNT, she paid the same price then had me fix it. Felt sorry for her. Hope yours is much better.
