What is your definition of detail?
Several members here that detail in the DFW area.

Basically a really good wax, wash, polish, remove "stuff", clay bar if needed, perhaps remove swirls, etc.. Dont really know alot about what all goes into it to be honest. I just want a really good deep cleaning. Other then a few trips through the car wash, truck has never been cleaned since leaving the lot.
Anybody ever heard of or had experience with Shine N' Show?

For what you stated, Nick's prices are spot on and around average.
Correction work requires some know how and technique. If that price tag is too high, you should consider acquiring the products needed to do the job yourself.
I would charge the same if not more than Nick for what you looking for.
Nick does have some "show car" pricing and that is quoted based on seeing the condition of the car and results wanted.
Heavy restoration is expensive...its not hard work persay is time....time is money.
That all said, there are a few members here in the area that do quality work that are less expensive by not by much maybe they will post up
Good luck!

Shine N' Show just quoted me $175 for the following, and they'll do it in my driveway:
hand washing exterior, wheels cleaned, tires dressed, door jambs cleaned, all windows cleaned inside and out, vacuum carpets and seats, includes fragrance of your choice.
bug and tar removal, professional clear coat cleaner and hand waxing, reconditioning of undercarriage and moldings deodorize interior, spot treatment on carpets and seats.
clay bar application, machine polish (as needed) and paint sealing, light scratch and swirl removal, full engine detail, wheel polishing, carpet and upholstery shampooing, leather cleaning and conditioning.

Damn that's cheap. That SHOULD be a solid 4-6 hours at work at the very least. $30 or less an hour for labor, gas to drive to your place, + materials. I wonder how they stay in business.
I have just seen Nick's work and it's always top notch. Certain celebrity's have paid him to fly out to their "crib" and wash their personal car collection. Believe it was ford that flew him out to SEMA to detail all their display cars. I know he just did Jerry Jone's cars a few weeks ago.

The owner/president of Tropi-Care detailing products lives in the North Dallas / Plano area and will come to you as well. I stick strictly to his products and have used them for almost 5 years now. I would recommend at least giving him a call or email to compare pricing. He has 15+ years experience and designs all the products with a chemist himself.
Tell him Trent in Austin sent you to him to get the best available price and he'll get you set up.
