Dealer Detailing

[Prospero]

My local dealer has offered to detail my smart car.

Anyone have any idea what this usually entails, and how much it usually costs.

(In my case, it's going to be a freebie, but I'm curious as to how nice the dealer is being to me).

When I made an appointment for my 10K scheduled service, I was told the car would be detailed. Apparently, in my case at least, that just meant washing the exterior.

Different folks have different interpritations of Detailing. Some its just a simple wash, others its a complete polish down to the q-tip level.

Get it done, and then decide the value

My dealer uses an automatic car wash.

I have never have, nor will I ever put a vehicle that I own through an automatic wash of any kind. That being said, mine was put through before delivery in preparation - and I have the swirl marks on my rear sail panels to demonstrate it. I'll probably end up replacing them a bit down the road (they swirl easily).
