I would do it myself instead of going to a car detailing place. I work at a car detailer and I know that you can do it all yourself for like 1/4 the price.

Just follow that and you'll get the look you want.

^^^^this is true....but hes not paying a shop labor costs either by doing it himself. do you know how to use a polisher or rotary buffer? get some prices from local detail shops and find out what their packages include and post them up.

No offense,but if you don't want to wax your own car,you have no business entering it in a car show.

yeah the water blades arent that great. i only use them for the initial wipe down before all the polishing starts.....but honestly for a pro deal your looking anywhere from 200 to over a 1000 depending on the extent of stuff you want done...
