    $675 Inside and Out Worth It?

    Last week I picked up a 2001 530i sport in Orient blue metallic. I'd say the paint in 7.5/10 given its age. It had sat for the last year un driven as it was abandoned at my mechanics shop. Only has 95K miles. My question is this, should I fork out big cash to have it detailed head to toe this first time, or head over to Walmart for clay kit, compound, and wax? The inside carpet needs a good steaming. Leather is in great shape. Headlights look brand new, original Hella I believe. Is the high cost of professional detailing because they can do better, or a convenience factor?

    make sure to see pictures of the work performed. A lot guys out there are HACKS! The good guys are worth it and typically charge more than your quote.

    Yes, and yes.
