Julieboo, lol! I went to get it priced today to get it as as a Valentine's gift and the place wanted $250! I wish it was only about $60. That's why I'm asking. And it's the only place in town to go to.

Julie, yeah I'm loving the camera. I still need to read up on a bunch of stuff but I'm getting there. I'll post some pics this weekend. & Love the aubergine shoes...a must have! Grooch, I would have thought around $200 for a good detail, so 250 is probably right on the mark. Sorry to say..

It depends on what is being done to the vehicle. Detailing is …. detailed. If they are good, they go over the car inch by inch. It takes a lot of time. And time is money.

Here's an example I found on the web: Final Touch Auto Detail Complete detail from $295 to $450. Of course, they charge more if you want them to come to your location.

I just did some checking around here and it ranges from $79 to $299, so it really does depend on what is done and where ya go.

I've had the normal car washes for my minivan where they also go in and vacuum and clean the dash, doors, and all that for about $25. And a year and a half ago I took it in for complete detailing (they cleaned all the upholstery) for $179, and I think I used a coupon for that. Haven't had anything in between done yet though. I would love to take it back for a complete detail soon, it left the car looking almost like new and was well worth the money.

The guy who comes to my dh's work is $120, but that might be under some sort of discount because the company tell everyone the date he's there.

Thanks, guys, for the info! I had my car washed there today, inside and out, and it was $16 and they did a great job. $250 is out of my price range for a Valentine's present. I'll just have to come up with some other idea.

NEW QUESTION: ANyone know a site that would have short and/or kid friendly versions of ANY Folklore stories? (I tried wikipedia, but they don't seem very kid friendly.) THANKS! (ie Johnny Appleseed, Zorro, Casey Jones, John Henry, Bigfoot, Paul Bunyan, etc..)

a good idea would be to go to your local library

Another question: Can anyone recommend something that cuts through stuck on, burnt grease on a grill? Hot soapy water just isn't cutting it. Thanks.

Kitt, use oven cleaner. You know, the kind you spray on the inside of an oven (if your oven isn't a self cleaner)? Do it outside, and it may take two applications, but it usually works pretty well. Or else, go buy new grills! <grin>

Inside or outside grill? I have bought this square pumice stone looking brick about the size of a bar of soap. You rub it up and down the grill and it really cleans it AMAZINGLY well and easily and I like that it is non-chemical. I buy it at Home Depot/Rona/Lowes in the BBQ section. Once you have the grill nice and clean try spraying it with Pam for grills... will reduce the maintenance. ETA: found it, Grill Stone

It's inside - it's actually the grill pan in the toaster oven! Replacement pans cost about half as much as the oven itself, so I wanted to try to clean it. I will look for the grill stone, it mentions it can be used on griddle pans and what I have is almost like that. And if not I'll take the pan outside and try the over cleaner. Thanks guys!

Kitt, have you try "Greased Lightning?" Grills & Ovens Use Greased Lightning full strength to wipe away baked in grease and grime. For tough jobs, let Greased Lightning penetrate surface for 1 minute before scrubbing away grease and grime. Do not spray on continuous cleaning ovens. Use only in cool oven. Avoid over spraying heating elements and door gaskets. ----- Scoot, thanks for that link. I know the library is a good resource, but I want a one-stop site to recommend to our bear scouts. That link is okay, but even that link does not really have "one stop shopping"... (ie; the Paul Bunyan link has many stories, not just one...)
