My home dealer, before I moved 500 miles, charged me $100 - E-Glide with tourpak. That included removing the wheels to clean them.

I've got a guy who will do it for $50 but so far I've done it myself. I'll let him do our cars but there something about detailing my scoot that just doesn't feel right.

Nothing. I do it myself. A bike jack is big help.

It would cost you a $100 if I did it. It would take about 2 1/2 hours

Ialways domine bymyself, but $75 to $100seems to be the going price range.However, my dealer does a complimentary wash after they do the scheduled maintenance and have done a real nice job each time.

I have known of other people that have thought about starting a biz doing this. They finally realized they would have a lot of spare time for golf
