Dealer Detailing

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).
