Auto detailing is a thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing process aimed at improving a vehicle's appearance. It goes beyond a regular car wash and involves both exterior and interior work. Here’s a breakdown of the typical steps involved: Exterior Detailing: - Washing: Start with a pre-wash to remove loose dirt, then use a gentle car wash soap and microfiber cloths or mitts to clean the car’s surface. Rinse thoroughly. - Clay Bar Treatment: Apply a clay bar to remove embedded contaminants like sap or tar that regular washing won’t remove. - Polishing: Use a polish or compound to correct paint imperfections, such as scratches and swirl marks. This step may involve machine polishing for best results. - Waxing/Sealing: Apply a layer of wax or sealant to protect the paint and enhance its shine. Wax generally provides a deep shine, while sealants offer longer-lasting protection. -Glass Cleaning: Clean all windows and mirrors with a glass cleaner to remove streaks and residues. -Tire and Wheel Care: Clean wheels and tires thoroughly, and apply a tire dressing to enhance their appearance. Interior Detailing: Vacuuming: Thoroughly vacuum the seats, carpets, mats, and other upholstery to remove dirt and debris. Cleaning Surfaces: Clean and condition leather, vinyl, and plastic surfaces with appropriate cleaners and conditioners. Pay attention to areas like the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Shampooing Carpets and Upholstery: Use a carpet and upholstery cleaner to remove stains and deep clean these areas. Some detailers use steam cleaners for this task. - Glass Cleaning: Clean the interior windows and mirrors to remove smudges and dirt. Odor Elimination: Use odor eliminators or air fresheners to ensure the cabin smells fresh.
