i just finished a few weeks of hauling 2 wet (shedding) dogs and oak logs for firewood...so my car is absolutely trashed (it smells funny, there's dog fur everywhere, and chunks/bits of bark on every surface)

at this point, i think it's more efficient for me to pay someone else to clean it...i don't care if it's meticulously perfect...just that it's generally CLEAN again...so value is all i'm looking for, not the "best"

Bunkey's is fairly reasonable and they do a good job, you can get a basic wash / vacuum / detail for like $30 if I recall correctly. If you're in the triangle there's one off Glenwood near Blue Ridge and one off 15-501 in Durham

isn't there a hurricane coming? Just leave your windows down

Auto Bell is expensive but they do a good job.

damn man, get a truck

He's too old to drive a truck.

where i'm from, the older a man is the more likely he is to drive a truck

i know an excellent upholsterer in goldsboro, if you're willing to drive an hr.

there's probably one just as good in raleigh though.

9/4/2008 12:03:29 PM

are they expensive

9/4/2008 12:22:24 PM

not imo. but i wouldn't call it cheap.

you get what you pay for

9/4/2008 12:23:42 PM

Check out my recent post in the classifieds.

Dont settle for the "cheap" and "quick" detail shops, they do more damage and harm than good and could end up costing you more money in the end.

yeah...i appreciate the offer, but my car isn't worth the money

9/16/2008 10:57:00 PM

Sudz on Peace Street is the greatest place ever

$20 they'll detail your car inside and out and hand wax your car.

i swear by that place

9/16/2008 11:00:34 PM

^that's for real?

9/16/2008 11:12:28 PM

detail it yourself, damn

9/16/2008 11:13:12 PM

^ calm down, it's going to be okay...i don't think it's unreasonable to expect a $25-30 BASIC detailing job...just because some people are willing to spend $rhodeisland on making sure their ride looks like it just came out of the showroom, i am not, and their expensive services are of absolutely no value to me

I think I heard guitman was moving back to Raleigh

he details cars
