I've seen anywhere from $100 to $250 around my area, the lower end usually being a wash and basic quick detail. Cost can also depends on the size of the vehicle and the condition it's in when brought to the detailer. When I actually feel like doing a good detail to my car I can spend a good 8+ hours on it. I had my own detail company last summer and have done my family's vehicles since I was little. That said, I know the time required to do a good job, not to mention it is hard work. My Dad's Suburban, jeez that thing takes forever.

Would it be worth the $35.00 to buy this for my white car?

Its worth it Angie & you would deff need a good buffer for it

This is what im using now
