    How much are you paying to detail your interior? How often do you do it?

    Been few yrs and now have stains/marks on seats and carpets - understand price varies by region but what would be the ballpark cost?

    Down in Tampa with a vehicle described probably 150 bux and if you're in the right part of the town whenthey get done car almost looks new . Minus a BS. That they cannot make better to get ideas drive by used car lots that have generation 3 Prius for sale that are on Frontline that's what you be looking at basically .

    That's a matter of perspective. Gas, for instance, is about $1.50/gallon less than in LA. Median house price in LA is ~$1M and in Tampa $439K.

    My first thought when I hear "interior detailing":

    Caution them to NOT use any sort of spray on the dash or windshield; there are a lot of nightmare stories here, about water-shorted electronics.

    Nothing, I just DIY. Do it maybe once a year? Low usage, and virtually never eat in the car.

    Of course if you factor in medical costs for all the children dying in the next ten years due to no more immunization requirements the state of Florida is poised to soon be one of the deadliest, most expensive and don't forget stupidest states in the country!
