I've been to several detailers that easily charged me $200, but didn't really have good results. It only looked good for a week or two. The problem of detailers is that they don't put much time on preparing and detailing. They only spent like 2-3 hours for providing you an instant shine look, not treated shine. Don't bother with their Interior detailing service. They only put like a greasy look of leather treatment and simple shampoo carpets & mats. If you want to get a good leather condition, you should try leatherique and try to clean your carpet with some carpet cleaner.

Therefore, I've changed my mind, and tried Zaino, 3M Swirl Remover, Klasse AIO & Gloss, Zaino, Leatherique and all other kinds of good stuffs. Recently, I purchased PC and the result is better than ever.

There are tons of good detailing tips on Internet and on this forum.

You should try it yourself and you can easily find out that you have to put more than 10 hours to do in&out detailing. I had to spend more than a day for full detailing.

I became enjoying washing and detailing my bimmers on every weekend.

My car had a bad swirl marks all over the place, but after using 3M Swirl Mark Remover, Klasse AIO, Gloss Enhancer, Carnuba Wax. Right now, it looks 80% perfect.
