Detailing is really just a fancy term for "a really good valet." Here's an explanation of what we do when we detail your car.
Exterior detailing involves cleaning and bringing a shine to the car's paint,chrome trim, windows,wheels, and even tyres.To do this we use different products, including non caustic chemicals, detailing clay, waxes, and polishes, as well as a variety of applicators and special cloths.It is important to note the three main components of exterior car detailing which are:
- Cleaning
- Correcting
- Protecting
Cleaning refers to removing all foreign surface particles from exterior surfaces through the use of washing and detailing.A clay bar helps to clean contamination/dirt from within the clearcoat that cannot be removed through weekly washing. Clearcoat contamination can come from industrial fallout, air particles, dirt particles, tar, and animal droppings.
Correcting refers to using mechanical polishes by hand or with a machine and specific polishing pads that remove a fine layer of clearcoat from a vehicle to remove fine scratches and swirls from a paint surface produced from improper washing or drying technique.
Protecting involves the application of a protective material (in liquid or paste form) that prevents foreign matter from adhering to the surface of the vehicle, including water, bugs splatter, tar, and dirt. Waxes and sealants provide this barrier against the elements.
