If you’re considering having your vehicle detailed, you might be wondering exactly what services are included and how they can benefit your car. Auto detailing goes beyond a simple wash — it aims to restore and enhance your vehicle's appearance inside and out. At Kearney Auto Restyling, we offer comprehensive detailing packages tailored to your vehicle's needs. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect during an auto detailing service.
Exterior Detailing Services
The exterior of your vehicle is often the first thing people notice, and proper detailing can make a significant difference in its overall appearance. Here’s what our exterior detailing encompasses:
- Thorough Washing: A detailed exterior wash starts with a high-quality, pH-balanced soap to remove dirt, grime, and road debris from the surface. This includes hand washing of the body panels, wheels, and tires to ensure a thorough clean.
- Decontamination: After washing, we remove any bonded contaminants such as tar, tree sap, or industrial fallout using specialized products. This step is crucial for preparing the surface for polishing and protects the paint job.
- Paint Enhancement: Instead of full paint correction, we offer a paint enhancement service that applies a machine wax to the vehicle. This process adds protection while also removing very light oxidation and surface-level marring. It's an excellent option for older vehicles or those you're looking to sell, as it refreshes the appearance without the extensive time investment required for thorough correction.
- Waxing or Sealing: Following the wash, we apply a wax or sealant that provides an additional layer of protection against UV rays, environmental pollutants, and oxidation. This step helps maintain the shine and integrity of your paint.
- Wheel and Tire Care: Our detailers don’t forget about your wheels and tires. We clean and restore the tires, applying a dressing that enhances their appearance and protects them from cracking and fading.
- Glass Cleaning: To complete the exterior detailing, we meticulously clean all windows and mirrors, ensuring visibility and clarity. We may also apply a glass sealant for added protection against rain and dirt.
Interior Detailing Services
A clean interior not only enhances your driving experience but also helps maintain your vehicle's value. Here’s what our interior detailing includes:
- Vacuuming: We start by thoroughly vacuuming the seats, carpets, and floor mats to remove loose dirt, debris, and crumbs from all surfaces.
- Shampooing and Stain Removal: Depending on the condition of the interior, we may shampoo the carpets and fabric upholstery, carefully treating any stains to restore their original appearance.
- Leather Cleaning and Conditioning: For leather interiors, we clean the surfaces with specialized products designed to remove dirt while conditioning the leather to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
- Dusting and Surface Wiping: We carefully dust and wipe down all interior surfaces, including the dashboard, door panels, and center console, ensuring they are free of dust and fingerprints.
- Window Cleaning: Just as we do on the exterior, we clean the interior windows to ensure optimal visibility and a streak-free finish.
Optional Add-Ons and Customization
Many of our clients choose to customize their detailing package by adding additional services. Some popular options include:
- Engine Bay Cleaning: Keeping your engine bay clean can help identify leaks and necessary maintenance while improving the overall appearance of your vehicle.
- Headlight Restoration: Over time, headlights can become cloudy or yellowed. We can restore clarity to your headlights, improving both aesthetics and visibility.
- Ceramic Coating: For those seeking long-term protection, we offer ceramic coating applications that create a durable, hydrophobic layer over your vehicle’s paint.
- Paint Correction: For vehicles with deeper scratches or heavy swirl marks, we provide paint correction services as an add-on. This process restores the clarity of the paint and enhances the overall finish of your vehicle.
- Odor Removal: If your vehicle has persistent odors, we offer specialized treatments to remove unwanted smells from the interior.
What Are the benefits of regular car detailing?
Regular detailing not only enhances your vehicle’s appearance but also protects your investment over time. By removing contaminants and applying protective coatings, detailing helps prevent long-term damage caused by dirt, UV rays, and environmental pollutants. Additionally, a clean and well-maintained vehicle tends to have a higher resale value, making detailing an essential part of ownership.
