It's clearly not a detail. I'd guess the quality will be a little better than a $5-10 wash from a machine- a little more expensive because of the "we come to your car", and also because they cannot bring along the machinery and water recyclers that allow $3 washes.
If they are willing to break out the mitts and buckets of soapy water though, you could have a real nice wash there. Wash != detail, but leaps and bounds ahead of a machine. This is not outside the realm of possibility; I remember my local hand wash place back in the Valley was about $20.

They need to define what's in a wash. A detail usually involves a bit more than a basic "wash", if that is in fact all they are offering. Maybe their MVP?

The price point is too low for me to believe they'll do a decent job. There are already mobile car detailers here in Portland, and a good exterior detail costs around $100. That's because the companies are licensed and bonded. If I'm going to go cheap on a car wash, I'll do a $6 drive-through special at Washman on my way to the grocery store.
Not knowing the coverage area before signing up is a problem for me as well. My email address and phone number are private - I'm not giving them up until a company gives me something in return.
