Ok, I took my car to a car wash and got their $85 'Polish and detail' job which is described as:
* More Than Just Soap & Water
* Paint Work Hand Polished For A Super Shine
* Removal Of Bugs & Tar
* Rubbers & Plastics Rejuvenated
* Showroom Finish

So when I see that sort of description, for that sort of price, I am expecting a hand polish with wax to a haze, then buffed off by hand. Turns out its nothing more, as far as I can tell, than their $30 job. I still had all these little black dots of sap or traffic dirt and they did nothing that resembled what I would call a 'polish'. I asked the guy to show me what polish they used and he showed me a spray on bottle which sprayed some clear liquid that they just wipe on. No buffing of any dried haze etc. That's their 'polish'. He said, to get those stubborn black spots out, I need the next package which is the $215 'buff and polish' which they use a machine to buff. Which sounded more like a 'cut and polish' because he said it takes off a small layer of paint. I don't usually pay to get my car washed at shops, but is this normal or is this chain taking ppl for a ride?
