I have done that 3x now. my family saved a butt load of $$ doing it ourselves. it's not that bad as long as it's not hot as sin or wet and cold.
Diy is not for everyone. Some like to pay for "piece of mind" knowing that someone else "more capable" than they are did a good job. However, I don't trust anyowashing my car (especially HS kids with jewelry all over) because of scratches. Most mechanics get paid by the job, not hour so they cut corners or use "tricks" when they can.
I Diy because, I have the time, I like to know exactly x works or was done, I trust myself, I'm cheap and it saves me $$, because I'm a bad azz that's capable of doing it. There are other reasons but these will do for now.
