Default Would you pay someone to detail your bike?

Also, what would you be willing to pay.

Wash, Clay bar, paint conditioner, polish/sealer.

no, but thats just because my step dad used to work in the car sales buisness a long time back... our garage is filled with tons of goodies for cleaning our vehicles and i dont really mind takin the rag to my bike. but if i had money to waste and there was a hot chick that knew what to do.. sure id let her wash it

i would pay to get thoe annoying swirls out. but plastic really doesn't need that much protection.

i know it sounds weird i'd spray some windex on a clean terry cloth towel and have my bike cleaned in 10min. light wax on the front to keep love bugs from sticking.

might not be the best but it worked damn well.

I Usally Did Full Detail, But I Work At A Dealership And The Detail Guy Is All Into Bikes. So He Would Wipe Down The Bike Every Thursday, Polished. And All He Wanted Was To Go For A Ride Around The Dealership

Id wash my own shit.

Right now I use soap from work,that has wax in it.I wash the bike.rinse,wipe down.
Then I use Eagle One nanowax.Spray,then wipe it down.Spray armor all on a rag,then wipe on black plastics.But I need to put real compund wax on the bike.The spray was is fine to keep off water spots.

I'd rather do it myself. It's a part of regular maintenance. If something is wrong with your bike, you'll be more likely to notice it when your washing it.
