I love taking care of my car but one thing I absolutely dislike doing is waxing a car. I've done some searches on here and see a lot of "auto detailing" threads but am unclear if detailing is just about cleaning the interitior and extiror and whether or not it includes a good car wax job.

For a good job I don't mind paying somebody to wax my car. Any recommendations on either mobile services or brick and mortar places I can take my car in North Raleigh (Falls of Nuese Road Area) to get a quality car wax job done? Thanks!

Wait until you see the price they charge, then you'll change your mind

I've used these guys on a regular basis for over 10 years now and they always do a great job. I always get the full detail which includes polish and wax. Their mobile so them come to your work or home which works out great for me. They also have fair prices compared to other detail companies I've checked out.

If you enjoy paint maintenance but despise waxing you are either using the wrong wax or too much. I can apply protection (I can't call it "wax" because I no longer use wax. Instead I have switched to a polymer.) in about a half hour on a crew cab long bed truck. Granted, that time is spent just on applying the protection. I will have all day in the job due to the prep work of washing, clay bar, re-washing, taping, and buffing. However, those steps aren't necessary to apply protection. They are necessary for a flawless paint.
I'm not sure who runs the detail shop now but the guy who used to own the shop that is adjoined to the Bunkey's on Glenwood/Pleasant Valley did great work. He used to own a Buick Grand National that was absolutely beautiful so just ask the owner if he did and you'll know you're going to receive great work.

I also recommend this guy. I've seen his work and it's excellent.
