I'll second that. No one touches my bike. (with wrenches or a towel) They would never do the job that I would expect.

RE: how much should a bike detail cost
Damn, well that's one thing that ain't cheaper in the States.
Here there are a couple of smackheads that clean cars down town, they clean the sucker for about 45 mins and the car comes out unreal. They ask for a a few bucks, (like 3 Euros), I give 'em 10 and they go wild.
Don't think I'd let them clean the bike, but only cuz they only have a little bucket and a bit of washing up liquid.
Someone offered to clean it a few months back and wanted 20 Euros, I said forget it and got my wife's sister to clean it. lol .... Heck, she did a pretty good job too.

Just hose off the dirtand bugs, fill it up and hit the road again. Takes about 15 minutes at the local carwash and costs about 3 bucks.

RE: how much should a bike detail cost
Less than a couple bucks and about 15-20 min for one of my "custom details" that I do 2-3 times. I might spend 30-45 minutes before putting her up for winter time. Just get the bug **** off and ride. No wonder there are so many low milage bikes out there, everyone is spending so much time washing and no time riding.
$100-$300 and 8-12 hours??
