Car Detailing?

[xela]

I want to sell my car. First, though, I would like to get it spotlessly clean, inside and out. My preferred way of doing this would be to buy some cleaning supplies and hire an ambitious and meticulous young person* who thinks $100 cash (plus lunch) in exchange for a few hours of their weekend sounds like a win. If you know of (or are) such a person, please drop me email.

Barring that, if anyone knows of a place to get a car thoroughly cleaned that does a good job, doesn't charge an arm and a leg, and won't sneer behind my back about my Nissan Versa, I'd appreciate a pointer.

Thanks in advance!

* Or possibly two of them who want to split the job and do it together. When I was 15, my girlfriend and I did a few of these sorts of gigs together, and it was a blast.

"Belmont Car Wash" did an acceptable job on their "express detail and interior shampoo" to a shabby Toyota filled with years of ground-in kid detritus. They have a waiting room with free coffee & snacks and a view of the drive-through wash, which the kids enjoyed. This cost roughly $70, two years ago.

They did tell me (rather sternly) that I should not park under a tree (like that's an option!) and that they could not guarantee that the tree sap removal in the automated wash would be satisfactory. Perhaps some customers have unreasonable expectations concerning tree sap?

Thank you. One of the last (touch wood!) of my requires-car errands for the foreseeable future is out that way, so it's even a convenient location.
