I'm planning to wash mine in the driveway tomorrow. They're saying 47 and sunny before dropping to 20s and snow for the weekend. Hopefully I can keep it inside then. It isn't that dirty, but some truck pulled out in front of me Saturday and due to his width, kicked up all kinds of dust/dirt in the center of the road from when we had snow on the road. Made me so mad...

Thats a steal if they are claying too. Are they going to buff it too? I need to get mine done. Been scared it would be crazy $ because of the size.

Yes, buffer wheel is used...I think Pricing may have a lot to do with the condition of paint. I normally clay twice per year and wax every month, sun down here is brutal.

Good idea. Its a small price to pay and it should help if you need to sell. I am definitely scheduling an appointment

As much as I like to try to do it all myself, that sounds like a pretty good deal!

Jon, you are still a young guy and should get enjoyment polishing your own Ex. I just don't have the time anymore.
