detailing - inhouse/mobile

It all starts wITH…

a meticulous process of cleaning and restoring a vehicle's interior and exterior to like-new condition, often involving hand-applied cleaning and restorative treatments. It's a more labor-intensive and precise process than a car wash, going beyond basic cleaning to address details like paint imperfections and interior stain removal. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

What it involves:

• Exterior Cleaning:

  This includes a thorough wash, removal of contaminants like road grime and bird droppings, and polishing and waxing to restore shine and provide protection. 

• Interior Cleaning:

  This encompasses vacuuming, scrubbing, steam cleaning, and potentially shampooing carpets and upholstery, as well as cleaning and conditioning leather and other surfaces. 

• Enhancement:

  This can involve paint correction to remove scratches and swirls, restoration of faded or cracked plastic trim, and cleaning and polishing of wheels and tires. 

• Protection:

  Applying protective coatings like waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings to help shield the paint and other surfaces from environmental damage. 

Key differences from a car wash:

• Precision:

  Detailing focuses on more meticulous cleaning and restoration, while car washes often use automated systems and quick washes. 

• Labor:

  Detailing is typically a hand-applied process, requiring more time and effort to achieve a higher level of cleanliness and restoration. 

• Scope:

  Car washes primarily focus on a quick exterior clean, while detailing encompasses both interior and exterior cleaning, restoration, and protection. 

In essence, car detailing is about going beyond a basic car wash to rejuvenate and restore a vehicle to a like-new or even better condition, by addressing both aesthetics and protection.
