Providing professional auto detailing services is not simply about being good at the “art of detailing.” Detailing is not an inexact art that is improved over time. Car owners simply don’t have time to deal with something like that. Auto detailing is a precise science that should always yield the same great results regardless of the vehicle, make or model being detailed.Did you know for example that something as innocent as using the wrong cleaning product on a black car could leave streaks and damage the exterior? A do-it-yourself or an inexperienced detailer can easily make this sort of mistake. But professional detailers don’t just pick and choose the products that need to be used during the detailing process of a vehicle. Instead, they use special charts that tell them the exact chemical and products that need to be used. These charts that auto detailers develop and maintain are what insures every car of every make and color gets the same jaw-dropping results. The general misconception about auto detailing is that it’s just “manual washing.” However, auto detailing is much more than that. It is an important process that maintains the value of cars and makes sure that issues are dealt with early on before they escalate into bigger and costlier problems. Consider that many people that hand wash their cars use cloths and rags that have been sitting around their garages for weeks or months. These cloths are full of micro-dust that scratches the exterior of cars during washing and rinsing; and most car owners don’t even know it. Within a couple of months of hand washing your car the wrong way you could take off its protective coat and glossing, leaving the paint more exposed to deterioration. Using the wrong window cleaning products could also damage window seals and other materials, not to mention the fading that some chemicals can bring onto plastics and leather. Auto detailing even extends beyond washing and maintenance though. In the event that a car has been damaged beyond simply maintaining, a professional auto detailer should be able to restore it. Professional auto detailers often offer paint correction and protection. They can also tint cars to protect the interior and passengers from damaging UV rays. The Importance of Auto Detailing All car owners know that they need to change their oil or engine belts after a certain number of miles. However, not all car owners consider auto detailing to be as important, when in reality it is of equal importance. Nobody in their right mind would go past five years without replacing their oil for example, but more than often you see car owners going years without getting their cars detailed and protected from the elements. Keeping the exterior and interior of a car is just as important as keeping everything beneath the hood running properly. Not maintaining a car’s engine by simply changing its oil will result in a costly engine repair or breakdown. The same results can be seen with cars that are not maintained properly by car owners. The return on investment is just too great for car owners not to take care of their cars every couple of months by getting them detailed. Of course the other benefit of auto detailing is that the detailers will alert the car owner ahead of times of potential problems with their cars down the road. So instead of only coming in when there is an issue with the car, car owners will be able to prevent those issues early on.
