Car Pampering. The Beginners Guide to Car Detailing

Every can owner is aware of various automotive services, like car washing. However, not everyone knows about car detailing and what it’s really about. And while there are, of course, similarities, detailing goes a step further. See, car detailing are services that cover not only washing of your vehicle, but also cosmetic paint restoration and using high-tech protective coatings. All of these services can help your car not only look its best, but also prolong the car paints longevity. Moreover, we have great news–now you can easily schedule your car for detailing services right here, at Booksy! But first, what are some of those services we’re talking about…

What is car detailing?

The biggest difference between regular car washing and detailing is that the latter is done meticulously and by hand. As the name suggests, it focuses on all the car’s details, and not only on cleaning away dirt. That’s why car detailing can be divided into two components–interior and exterior detailing. So what are they exactly?

What does interior car detailing consist of?

There are several steps a detailer will perform when taking care of your car’s interior. They will also, of course, depend on the degree to which the interior is dirty. Each car detailer has their own process, but most commonly you can expect–vacuuming, brushing and steam cleaning, glass cleaning, re-vacuuming and wiping, and finally perfuming. You can also ask for other services if you need some extra work done.

What does exterior car detailing consist of?

A typical car wash doesn’t take long and is done by machines. Exterior detailing takes longer, but this is for a reason. First, the exterior is thoroughly hand washed to remove as much dirt as possible. Next, a clay bar is used to remove residue and impurities. After that the detailer polishes the car to give it that new shine. Finally, a special sealant is applied that ensures the shine remains, as well as protects the car.

Why you should consider car detailing

Just as you take care of your body, your home, you should also take care of your car. Not only does it take you from point A to point B, but often you spend long periods of time in that vehicle. By opting for detailing you can prolong your car’s lifespan and properly maintain its paint condition. Not only will this improve how your car looks, but in case you decide to sell it, it will also increase its resale value.
