Thanks for the tip Bob. Looks like a very good discussion group. I will lean alot. True that some car dealers should be avoided but mine is first rate. Not only do they sell Saabs they also sell Mercedes, BMW's. They're well known for their detailing shop. It's just that I don't want to spend the $. The $100 price I mentioned is the bottom rate for the simple wash n' buff. It's goes way up from there. Now I need a heated garage for the winter. Which leads me to another question. What about car washes. Are some ok and others not? Thx. J.S.
