How to read a detailing quote
A real quote names its lines: exterior wash & wax, interior detail, and each add-on with prices. 'Full detail $99' specials usually cover the wash only — interior and correction bill separately. Compare quotes line by line against this table; missing lines are where cheap quotes recover their margin.
