Are my car detailing expectations too high?

[u/Ok-Gain-3366]

Got my car detailed today. It was $300 for interior only. There are several spots that are still not clean. I wanted the car to look close to new. Here are some pics that show where there is still a mess. Is this normal or did they do a poor job? If they did a poor job how should I tell them that?

Show the before pictures. For all we know, that's an excellent $300 job. At the same time, that could be a shitty $300 job.

I wish I would’ve taken before pictures but unfortunately I didn’t. Now I know for next time.

Well. How fucking bad was it before

They keep dodging this 😭

Makes me think it was a disaster detail

Hoarder of trash, is my theory. r/carbage honorary member.

No, that's a shitty job regardless of what it looked like initially. That cup holder alone means it's a crappy job.

You don’t know how filthy it was before. What if there was an inch of dirt on it, and that’s 5 hours worth of working already
