I neep help , a professional detail shop wants to charge me $80 dollars , i have fine swirl marks on my octane blue color 2011 lancer . the detail manager said he will use clay bar , polish , haze and wax and car wash is included. does that sound right ? and will that remove the swirl marks.

Uhh how well do you know this professional?

Has anyone gone to him that you know and can you see the results he's offered?

80 is too little, I can't imagine he's doing a very good job. I spend $20 alone in supplies on a whole polish.

$80 detail is VERY low. I charge low prices and even for me thats crazy.

What is a haze? Many years ago I had a shop pickup my car, machine polish it, and return it to me for $80. They did an outstanding job but it was a LONG time ago. I would investigate the place further myself.

I wouldn't do any of that work for $80 unless i was a 16yr old kid who needs a car to experiment on..

a rite of initiation typically experienced by fraternity pledges and new members to a group to judge their willingness and devotion to be a part of said group.

what it means in the detailing process is anyone's guess.. he's charging for the wax to dry prior to removal?
