Understanding Auto Detailing
Auto detailing is a detailed cleaning and reconditioning of your vehicle. Unlike a regular car wash, it goes deeper. Auto detailing is divided into two main categories
- Exterior detailing
- Interior detailing
Exterior Detailing
Exterior detailing focuses on cleaning and restoring the outer surfaces of your vehicle. The process typically includes:
- Washing and Drying: We use a foam cannon to apply soap and hand-wash your vehicle with plush microfiber mitts.
- Clay Bar Treatment: This step removes contaminants from the paint surface that washing can't remove.
- Polishing: We use specialized machines and products to remove minor scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks. It restores the paint's shine.
- Sealing or Waxing: We use wax or paint sealant to enhance the gloss and protect against environmental damage.
- Wheel and Tire Cleaning: We thoroughly clean the wheels, dress the tires, and clean the wheel wells for a polished look.
- Glass Cleaning: We clean all exterior glass for better visibility and water repellency.
Interior Detailing
Interior detailing is about deep cleaning the inside of your car. This usually includes:
- Vacuuming: We vacuum all areas, including under the seats and hard-to-reach spots.
- Steam Cleaning: We use steam to deep clean and sanitize surfaces.
- Plastic and Vinyl Cleaning: We clean and restore hard surfaces to their original look.
- Glass Cleaning: Interior windows and mirrors are cleaned for better clarity.
