There is a place here that hand washes and does interior for $25 on trucks! But I haven't been yet although I have seen some trucks they do and they looke good. But yes I'm lazy I'm currently trying to talk a friend into waxing my truck for me . A place down the road washes and wax's truck for $200. While I'm lazy I'm also cheap and cheap overrides the lazy part.

The places that charges $25 is different from the place that charges $200 for wash and wax. $25 is a hand wash by some random guys that rent a bay at a do it yourself car wash, the $200 is a actual car wash place.

it usually averages around $200 give or take for the interior and to buff and wax the exterior is about $250 give or take. remember you pay for what what you get and always research the place before you take your truck there. Im lazy and usually pay to get it done after winter.

i used to detail back in HS. we had 4 packages all under $30 anything after that was detailing. wax and wash was $45, and everything else was about $150 up to $600. from clay baring to wet sanding, rim rash repair, paintless dent removal, tar removal, engine detail, clear coat repair, and showroom detailing.

one good thing is i can clean my truck legitttt. show room ready 7 days a week my entire senior year. best lookin truck in the HS parking lot. and yes, you get what you pay for.
