I was paid $250.00 for detailing a Cadillac De-ville yesterday.
I had to use detailing clay then polish the paint once with a rotary, then follow up with a PC then seal the paint. I also cleaned and treated the later interior, vacuumed, spot cleaned the carpets, treated all exterior rubber, cleaned, clayed and sealed the wheels.
It really depends on your location, level of detail wanted, the detailer 's prices, etc.
My customers don't have the time nor the desire to detail their own cars.
Here is a great place to read up and learn detailing if you want to attempt certain areas of keeping your car clean.
