$130 inside and out, bumper to bumper. The engine bay is free, but I don't hand polish or hand clean anything under the hood - it is just a degreasing job and rinse. PM me if you want more...

That is really strange. First of all, I've never even seen a shop use a meter on a tinted window to check the percent, so that is rare in itself. Second of all, I'm surprised they even care since...
