if you go in by mcdonalds/chic-fil-a, they're straight back in the center of the lot. between pet co and dsw, etc. i usually take it there for a good exterior/interior wash for $25. takes about 30-45 mins depending on how early i take it.

No problem man...I figured I would take the swirl marks on my black car to them and see what they could do they are incredibly meticulous about how they work, and they even triple-waxed certain parts to ensure getting rid of the swirls. I am impressed and will definitely become a regular.

They vacuum/clean and wipe your interior, but the $130 does not include any interior shampoo. I didn't need it anyway, but they may work out a deal since the 130 service is the most expensive service on their list. They detailed my wheels nicely, but the $130 does not include any claybar/polishing of the wheels. They offer that service, but they said they would get back to me once they have the products for my wheels, because iForged are polished aluminum and they don't put a clear coat on the wheels; the guys there said they currently have the stuff to polish wheels that come with a clear coat. Either way, just a regular wheel detail looks great!

I already got a discount because I told the boss I want my car waxed biweekly, since it's black. He brought the wax service down 10 bucks for me from now on. I'm sure he'll definitely do it for the rest since I didn't even ask for it and he gave me the discount. He crossed the price out on the sheet he gave me, and wrote with a pen the cheaper price.

Edit: By the way, $10 off $70 is beyond the 10% discount you wanted...so I think we are looking pretty good!

I just want you all to know that Etien (07BlackG35Stud) is THE PICKIEST CAR PERSON I HAVE EVER MET... With that said, if he says they did a good job, he probably walked around the car with a magnifying glass checking everything. I would take my car to that place without hesitation.

on another note, I'm gonna miss you Florida clowns...
