Want to Know What Is the Difference Between Washing and Detailing?
An auto car detailing service is completely different from traditional washing and waxing, although some centers do provide these services together. Generally, a wash and wax job is simply just that – the outside of a vehicle will be cleaned and waxed. Auto detailing does go much further, and although most of it is concentrated on the inside of a car, it does include some exterior work also.
Interior detailing
The secret to a great car detailing service is taking the time to clean and restore a vehicle and make it look as new as possible. Which means vacuuming, removing the front seats, and vacuuming the upholstery thoroughly.
The mats, carpets, and upholstery will be cleaned. Depending on the state of the vehicle, this may mean using any number of products, which ranges from rug and spot cleaners to upholstery foam cleaner. A wet/dry vac is usually used on fabric seats. Auto detailing can remove most stains and make carpets and seats look as good as new again.
Vinyl within the car, like panel trims, consoles and dashboards will first be cleaned and treated with a conditioner to ensure the vinyl is kept pliable. Any steering wheel covers and foot pedals will not be conditioned to stop slippage from occurring. The speedometer face will be polished, and any minor scratches will be removed.
Q-tips are also used to clean air conditioning slats and heater vents. Console seams that collect dust and dirt will also be cleaned using this method. Lastly, the glass will be thoroughly washed and cleaned and must be streak-free so no low angles of sunlight or headlights can impair vision.
On the exterior, any nicks or scratches on the paintwork can be removed also during a detailed car washing process. Every blemish will be cleaned of wax and gently sanded using a fine sanding block. The proper auto touch-up paint will then be applied in layers. Each coat will be allowed to dry first before the next one is applied. The area is again sanded, then polished and waxed.
