$200?!?!?! We charged $135 and spent ALL DAY if it took it to clean a car.

As far as ClearCoat, ALL professional cleaning/finish products are
clearcoat safe now. For a couple reasons:

First, all cars are base/clearcoat now, and it's a Polyesther finish to
boot. Just like those high-waisted pants you wear when you're in Florida!

The other thing is, EPA compliance is a LOT easier for products used on
Clearcoat paints. It doesn't take (and you don't WANT!) quite as much as
you would for a Urethane or Acrylic finish, so the products are easier to
manufacture. And aren't as harsh. (You also can't RUB a new finish with
harsher chemicals like you could before. A Urethane would stand up to MUCH
more punishment than the new finishes. They were a lot thicker and more
durable. Hell, when I left the Toyota dealer, we were just beginning to
use WATER BASED touch up paint!!!)
