Maintaining your vehicle in the best
possible condition often involves a lot of work, and that does not just include
mechanical repairs. Maintaining the appearance and hygiene of your vehicle is
also incredibly important to protect all parts of your automobile. This process
is called car detailing. It involves cleaning, polishing, and adding protection
to the entire vehicle insideout using the right tools and products.
Though car detailing does not include
bodywork or mechanical repairs, it still includes keeping the vehicle clean,
hygienic, and fresh. It also involves some light touch-ups and restorations
when needed. There are a lot of products involved when getting your vehicle
back to its original condition and there are various stages to car detailing.
Make sure that you choose the car detailing package you need before you hand your
car over to the detailer.
Every detailing that is done correctly will
take around 6 to 30 hours, depending on the work to be done. Auto detailing is usually
split into exterior and interior detailing. While exterior detailing works on
the outer appearance of your vehicle, interior detailing works on the
cleanliness of the vehicle.
Exterior Detailing
From washing and claying to polishing and
sealing, exterior auto detailing works on the car’s outer body. It does not
consist of a simple cleaning process with soap and water, it instead consists
of using specialized tools like power sprays to remove the hard grit and grime
on the surface.
The first step is a thorough wash-down with
a power spray and meticulous hand wash to clean the surface. Then a clay bar is
used to remove the impurities. To ensure that your car’s glossy finish lasts
long, you can ask your detailer to polish and seal the finish. A polish will
give a glossy finish to your vehicle while a seal will retain the shine for
long. Polishing also makes it easier to maintain the vehicle.
Interior Detailing
Interior detailing is the process of
cleaning the interior of the vehicle, which includes the upholstery, seats,
leather, vinyl and carbon fibre plastics. It is a careful process where
specialised products are used to clean out stains and odour within the car
without damaging the car itself. It also involves steam cleaning, vacuuming,
and brushing.
All the mats and carpets within the car and
trunk are also thoroughly cleaned. Auto detailers use specific products like
leather soap and cleaner to rid the leather of any blemishes and stains that
are difficult to remove. Cleaning the windows is important and needs to be done
properly to enable the driver to see the surroundings clearly. The car will feel
like a new car once detailers complete the interior detailing service.
