I don't mean to brag about my 07' TLS, BUT......

I had it fully detailed today at Ramsey Acura & it came out above & beyond my expectations, IT LOOKS GREAT! Every nook & cranny is spotless, the paint is smooth & shines. They cleaned the engine, the door jams, the trunk, the interior too. They used a clay bar first, then a light compound, hand wax, buff with machine. All for $171 & gave me a loaner! I used to go to the local car wash, but it never came out this nice & they always charged me $200. I will be going to my dealer from now on for the detail every 6 months.

BTW this is a new professional detailing company the dealer recently hired, my understanding is that 4 employees have a specific job to do on each car and work on it at the same time so nothing is missed.

Sun pics of the exterior would be great. I cringe at the thought of any dealer "detailing" a car.

Too bad those rookieS hid all the scratches with a cheap polish, marred the paint cause they didnt clay correctly (you will see it soon) and just over applied a 5$ wax. ://///

Hope this isn't the case, but I'd look the car over really well in the full sun now and in a few weeks.

+1, Those guys use the cheapest stuff possible and the dirtiest rags. Im sure you'll notice all the swirl marks on your paint in a few weeks.

I detailed a C Class for a lady who'd had it detailed at the Mercedes dealer. They did nothing to address the terrible spider swirls in the paint and didn't even clean the back of the front seats, her kids foot prints were still all over them. They charged her $200 too.

Fixed enough dealership swirl jobs to know how much they suck at detailing.

This was a certified Lexus IS350, you can even see that someone named Wade Shaw signed off on it:
