We all know that when you get your vehicle
“detailed” that the end product is a shiny version of your dirt laden, gummy
worm sticky, dust ridden commuting machine.
What we don’t know is the exact process and precision that goes into
making your car brand new again. In
today’s blog, we explain the steps that car detailer’s make to make your car a
shining reflection of your ideal driving machine.
Car detailing helps retain a higher resale
value for your vehicle.
Detailers start with the exterior. This involves cleaning and creating a shine
to the car’s paint, chrome trim, windows, wheels and tires. Products can
include: detergents, detail clay, wax, polishes and a variety of applicators
and special cloths.
The exterior paint begins with cleaning,
polishing and protecting. Cleaning the car starts by removing all foreign
surface particles from exterior surfaces by washing it. Polishing refers to using mechanical polishes
by hand or with a machine and specific polishing pads that remove microns of clear
coat from a vehicle to remove fine scratches and swirls from a paint surface
produced from improper washing or drying technique. Protecting involves the application of a
protective wax that prevents foreign matter from adhering to the surface of the
vehicle.
The interior detailing includes cleaning
the compartments, dash areas, windows, panels and seats. Vacuuming is standard and steam cleaning and
brushes may be used to remove stains on upholstery.
Keep that shine going!!!
