I am usually a die-hard do-it-yourself person. Self-reliance produces experience and knowledge, and usually saves a good deal of money. So, when I brought my fiancée, Heidi, to pick up her car from the detailing shop recently, I was admittedly biased against having someone else “wash and wax” a car for over $200. When we arrived to pick up the car, however, my opinion changed. It looked brand new, inside and out, and the smile on Heidi’s face was worth far more than the money spent.
