Guys
I expect some on you who have ever wanted to get your Sprinter cleaned & detailed professionally have run into the "No Sir" nodding dogs scenario. A few truck wash would take it but the price was steep for detailing.
So it goes that this week we had in for service a low roof 4WD unit that was dirty, and I mean dirty! Underside of the van cake in dried mud.
It took a few hours of calling about to find locally in the Denver Metro, Bear Detailing & Car Wash on S Wadsworth and Crestline near the Home Depot.
Not a cheap job but totally hand washed and waxed and underside cleaned. Interior spiffed up like a new van!
Cost came out to $400 and it had an army of Mexicans on it from 4,00 pm to 6,30pm when I collected it which is not far from my house .
I gave them a $10 tip to the foreman Marko for "cervecitas"!
They did in short a great job, worth the money and the results a WOW!
As a footnote, the last time I did anything similar was years back in Los Angeles and I needed a double deck bus cleaned completely , and hand waxed for a bus show.
Asking a Mexican bus driver where he got his coach cleaned, I got directed to a truck & bus wash detail shop in East LA.
I watched these guys with hoses bucket and ladders clean the whole thing in about 4 hours while I hung around with all the bus drivers doing the same from all over Mexico.
The bus was a source of some lively conversations & Latino driving experiences.
