Detailing is the removal of any paint defects as well as polishing. Ie, getting rid of swirls.
Washing is...well...washing

Seriously, I got him to wash, polish and shampoo all the seats and it cost me £30 for all that, took 2.5 hours, car looked like i'd just driven it out of the show room.
He will also do wash and hoover out for a tenner

I'm thinking of doing a bit of (basic) car valeting in evenings and weekends as where I live its full of wealthy old people and there is nothing like that around here at the moment... that could be for a reason though but I reckon there could be a bit of money to be made from it. Doubt there is enough demand for giving up my job and going full time though

if you are anel you
shampoo, wash, clay bar, polish wax, detail, repeat
if you are normal, and have a life you
wash, polish
Above order may be skewed as i have no idea
