What is the Purpose of Mobile Auto Detailing?
A new paint job, for example, is a great time to have your car detailed. This will ensure that it’s free of contaminants that may have gotten on the vehicle over time. After all, you just paid a lot of money for your new car, so why wouldn’t you want to protect it?
Do I Need to Wash Out my Car Before Detailing?
hen conducting interior detailing, it’s advisable to remove any items from the vehicle. This includes loose change, maps, bags, and anything else that can possibly fall or get knocked around during the process.
Can scratches be removed from my paint job without my vehicle having to be repainted?
- Light surface scratches can be removed by compounding/isolating the surface of the affected area.
- If scratches have only gone through one or two coats of clear coat, they can be wet sanded out.
- If scratches have gone completely though the clear coat, then the vehicle will unfortunately have to be repainted.
Why should I choose detailing versus just washing my own car?
Detailing does more than merely cleaning your car. It preserves and, in some cases, restores its original condition through professional thorough processes involving bug, tar, sap, lime removal, tire and rim treatment, interior leather and vinyl conditioning, carpet shampoo, waxing and applied protectants that keep your car’s paint job looking like it just arrived in the showroom… Moreover, regular detailing extends the life of your car, maintains safety and integrity of your vehicle and actually adds to its value.
How can I tell if my car needs to be waxed or polished?
- Here are two tests you can use to evaluate the paint condition:
- After washing and drying the car, run your hand lightly along the upper surfaces of the car. The surfaces should feel very smooth. If you detect rough spots or feel drag, the car needs a wax.
- Spray water on the car. If tight beads appear this means that the paint has the proper amount of protection. If the beads are loose, there is not enough protection on the car, if there are no beads, there is no protection on the car and a wax should be applied immediately.
