How much do you tip the detail guy?
How much do you tip the detail guy?
Hello all! I've searched and searched and cant find anything. If I think about it being a service and it's done right, 20% is what you tip. Is that still the standard on someone who is spending 4-6 hours detailing a car? It's about 200$ for the detail, so if I left 250 (depending on how well her does) would that be too much or too little?

My aplogies if offended.
You know you're one of my heroes! And as for tips, my wife is a cosmetologist (hairdresser). Tips are a big part of life. I'm a good tipper, as my mom taught me well.

Definitely get references though.
