How much would you pay for a Highline/Luxury Detail?

How much would you guys be willing to pay for a complete detail inside and out? And when i say detail i do not use this word lightly i do mean every single detail. I have a problem that most board members and enthusiasts alike probably have, I have nobody i can trust to detail my car. I love to drive a nice clean car, and i try to do it as much as i can however my schedule is very tight and rarely have time left over to to detail the beast. So many times it gets left for another week. Now if i found somebody who would wash my car with microfiber sponges, and used the correct techniques to wash and dry, i.e Pressure wash fist to remove dirt, meguiars or better quality wash soap, use seperate wash mitts for top and bottom of the vehicle as well as a diffrent mitt for wheels. Someone that would rinse the vehicle after a wash, use those medical grade covers for their feet when they stepped inside the car and used gloves to clean every single nook and cranny with cotton swabs, Completely vacuumed and revome all floormats and clean A/C vents. Take it a step further and california water blade the car to dry it and only use a microfiber drying towel once and once only to dry my vehicle and gave it that personal touch like i would give it. A service like this would be invaluable to me. Maybe not as anal as i just explained but just enough to let you know they too care about your beast, My question is if you guys forund somebody that was just as excited to give you a clean car as you are to drive one, And was someone you knew you could trust how much would you be willing to pay?


Note to mods: I know this may be slightly OT but i placed it here to get as much traffic as i could, I really need the boards help.

Thanks,

Walter

Exactly my problem imagine someone that every single time knocked you off your feet and made you say wow!! Someone who never misses a spot and always leaves you car perfect. And to top it off they would be mobile and go wherever you need them to.

Around here in Vegas, I would expect to pay at least $200 for the detail level you're asking for, possibly more. That is the kind of detail job that I give my own car once or twice a year.

it will take 2 man/hours if done right. at $15/hour (which is plenty) that is $30 in labor. $20 in materials for a total cost of $50.

100% profit brings the tab to $100.

everything more than that is... undeserved profit imo.
