What is car detailing?
Car detailing is an expert process which aims to restore the exterior of a car to look like new. It involves a number of methods which go far beyond a standard wash or valeting service. Whilst those focus on cleaning the car, detailing will remove defects within the car’s paintwork, whether this is factory defects on a brand new vehicle or age-related defects from poor washing methods or high mileage for example. Detailing will repair, restore and protect the finish of the car’s paintwork.
Machine polishing is a large element of car detailing. Most cars would benefit from machine polishing as it removes defects on the paint surface that many do not realise are there, such as swirl marks, towel marring, light scratches and fade from the sun and other weather damage.
Another key service of car detailing is ceramic coating. This is a form of sealant that bonds to the paintwork to protect the surface, making it easier to clean whilst giving durable long-lasting protection.
Why would I need detailing services on my car?
Whilst detailing does cost more than the average car wash, it carries far greater benefits both in the short and long term. Detailing protects a car’s exterior and offers long-lasting protection.
Detailing can also be far more effective in removing paint defects left by things such as weather, accidents, general wear and washing (even using the wrong sort of towel to dry your car can leave unsightly swirls that detailing services will remove).
If you are looking to protect a new car, sell your old car, or are coming to the end of a PCP or lease, detailing can restore the aesthetics of your car to ensure you get the best deal and avoid any end-of-term return fees.
So not only will detailing save you money and protect your asset in the long term, you’ll be driving around in a car that looks incredible!
