Guys-
What’s your experience with the price range for a good detail job??? I'm talking clay, buff, hand wax, steam clean the engine bay and a detailed interior cleaning that includes a mat shampoo?

Cheers!

They don't recommend steam cleaning these days because of the electrical harness connections on newer cars.
