"Worth it" is entirely subjective, but to me, I think it is due to a lack of confidence in my own abilities and the resulting willingness to farm things out to people who can do them better.
Oh, I completely understand that "worth it" is subjective, and I think I did a poor job of asking the following:

What is the quote for professional detailing with paint correction in your local area? How much money will you save by doing it yourself?
I did not mean how much would you save by doing the detailing yourself--I meant how much would you save by paying for a professional detailing ($X) and then opticoating yourself ($80) vs paying a professional to opticoat ($400+). I assume the professional would also detail your car?
