Need to get my Fit detailed

My 2009 Fit LX could do with a complete detailing. I've only done car washes and interior vacuum for two years now, and would like my car interior and exterior all shined up.

So does anybody here have any recommended detailers for Calgary? Any idea what is a reasonable price? I've seen everything from $100 - $350 in ads. Would a mobile detailer who does it on my doorstep do a great job? Or should I look at in-shop detailing?

This past Monday I washed, clay bar, touched up paint chips and waxed. All in about 2 1/2 hrs. Fee was my time.

Go to Crappy Tire for Mothers clay bar kit and wax.

I have Classio seat covers so a wipe with damp cloth was all I needed. Also have Weather Techs mats so a go scrubbing cleaned those up. No salt stains to deal with.

I've never paid someone to do it. It must be nice. Haha! Nah. I like doing it myself.

I might invest in some seat covers. These seats attract dust/dirt/lint and doesn't look like they will wear well. Same as the panel material.
