The more I think about it the more I think its got to be done bearing in mind the price I'm paying for the car and want to hold onto it for 3-5 years.
2 years ago I had my X6 done at I think around £650. My X6 is metallic black and the cost of the detailing is ONLY worth it if you are prepared to ONLY wash your car the correct way and to NEVER use a car wash or one of the outfits that operate outside of DIY and supermarkets. The correct way to wash: pressure wash, snow foam, pressure wash, 2 bucket car shampoo using lambswool mitts, pressure wash, rinse, dab dry with several cloths and even use a large dryer. Even doing this my X6 still has some minor swirls. The easiest option is to go space grey and have dealer prep it and then just wash it any way. Then depending on where you sell it you may or may not have to have it detail corrected at around £750 or more likely the dealer won't care about swirls.
