I get my truck detailed at least once a week, 20 bucks with the wheel deal. I have noticed minus the tire shine, the attention the wheels is awful. I cleaned them right after I got home. Do you just accept it and walk away? Complain and make them fix it? I tip heavy as well.
I know they are those boys/girls who wash their vehicles themselves or do not go at all, I get it. Farm truck/ work truck..etc. but my truck pulls my Airstream but is also my office while traveling to OKC, San Antonio, Houston and Austin.
Just added a Aukey Sr02 camera and a A1 Roav, happy with both so far.
I just take care of my stuff. My truck is close,to 3 years old and is mint. That is me but YMMV.

$20 is a car wash, not a detailing. I agree. I took my car (not truck) to a car wash place and paid for a detail. It took two hours and cost $100. When I go there normally, it takes $20 and a half hour. The detail was pretty good, but 100 times better than the normal wash and clean they do.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

$20 is a car wash, not a detailing. Yep detailed around here is around $100-$130. I wash and detail my car because it’s too low to go through car washes. I have a monthly membership to a car wash for my truck and I run it through all the time. Sometimes 2-3 times in a row depending on how dirty it is. It’s an automated car wash so it doesn’t do a perfect job and needs touch ups but works good enough for my truck.

$20 is a car wash, not a detailing. Agree. They forgot to do an entire wheel (tire shine and everything) the other day on my wife’s jeep and she took it back to get them to do it. I would have too. Instead of putting the tip in the box, I carry it out to them and give it to them in person. If one guy outworks the other one, he gets more of it. Before I had them anything I’m watching what kind of effort they are putting in. There have been a few times I hand it to them and then say... “hey you got a towel, I want to get this wheel right here”. Every time I’ve ever done that they have taken the towel and did it right.

It's a thing. Just vacuum myself for free and do the $7 wash once or twice a month and wipe down the inside every few weeks. The extra tire clean is never good enough unless you do it yourself. A detail is a $100+ job.

$20 is a car wash, not a detailing. For $20 I wouldn’t waste my time. Best thing to do is find a car wash that does an ok job, doesn’t tear anything up and doesn’t steal anything....

I pay a monthly membership for my wife to get her car washed. I do all mine by hand, myself.

I might wash my truck once or twice a year.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

My pickup is a workhorse. I Sometimes wash the mud off it at the car wash. Keep it in the garage at home.

What’s a car wash? Mine gets washed when I take it to the Dodge dealer for a recall or to buy filters, so 2 times a year. I do the interior as needed. Rest of the time I let Mother Nature do her thang

I agree with the others for my pickup it’s $100 plus.
