Would you pay $50 for a car wash ? That take 3 hours, Just curious ~

Hi guys

Just wondering if you would pay $50 for a car wash~

Its not a quick drive through hand car wash ~ I mean these types of

car wash costs around $20 plus tip . Obviously you cant do it when you

dont have a time ~ but what do you think ??? Maybe ? Definitely ?

Check out some photos ~

Only if semi nude girls are washing it. Otherwise, God gave me two hands.

one car at a time
Not every week, but I would when it needed a really good cleaning and I was feeling lazy....I keep my cars pretty clean, so to justify $50 (even if the job was worth it) is hard to justify. Where is this business ?

Its sort of in between ~ At this place a detailing would take 2 full days.

So... 3 hours would be a car wash for them ~

Not bad, they use legit products too.. Sonax wheel cleaner is no joke lol! Yea I'd pay $50 if they got the marks off. But I enjoy washing my own car.

3hr damn thats alittle over kill and at 50 bucks they wont be there long. If you have a 12 hr day ur only washing 4 cars at $200.00 per day per bay. Doesn't make sense to me rather do it my self in a 1.5hrs and get the satisfaction.

$50 seems like a reasonable price for 3 hours as long as they use good products.In Atlanta you could easily spend $250 for a full detail but they would have your car for most of the day. So three hours for $50 probably is not too bad.
But I think most of us feel that we would rather do it ourselves which is true in my case.
You have to be real careful with some of these details guy who rush and end up putting a scratch here or there.Buff too hard into the paint.
Plus with detailing, it is only temporary as with my luck, if I need it to rain, I just pull down the Griots and hook up the hose !!!
Let us know how it works out for you.,

If they are hand washing my car for 3 hours at fifty dollar I'd gladly pay if they are washing my car in 30 minutes and who knows what in the other 2.5 then no...
