Detailing

– Washing and Drying: The process begins with washing the car’s exterior to remove dirt and grime. A clay bar may be used to remove contaminants that regular washing can’t.

– Polishing: This step removes minor scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation. It’s often done using a machine polisher.

– Waxing/Sealing: A layer of wax or sealant is applied to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.

– Tire and Wheel Cleaning: Special attention is given to the wheels and tires, which are cleaned, polished, and sometimes treated with a dressing for a fresh look.

– Vacuuming: The interior is thoroughly vacuumed, including the seats, carpets, and other upholstery.

– Shampooing: Carpets and seats may be shampooed to remove stains and dirt.

– Cleaning and Conditioning: All surfaces, including the dashboard, door panels, and console, are cleaned and treated with appropriate products. Leather surfaces may be conditioned to keep them soft and prevent cracking.

   – Glass Cleaning: Interior and exterior glass surfaces are cleaned to ensure clarity and a streak-free finish.

– Though not always included, detailing the engine bay involves cleaning the engine and its components. This is mainly for aesthetics but can also help identify any leaks or issues.

– Paint Correction: More intensive polishing to remove deeper scratches and imperfections.

– Ceramic Coating: A durable protective layer applied to the vehicle’s paint that provides long-term protection and a high-gloss finish.

– Headlight Restoration: Restoring cloudy or yellowed headlights to improve appearance and visibility.
