What is Automotive Detailing?
Professional detailing is the service of rejuvenating the painted and upholstered surfaces of your car to restore them to their original cosmetic beauty. In contrast, washing your car is only cleaning your car by removing the dirt.
When your car has been exposed to nature's elements and the abuses of daily travel, the paint can become oxidized and dull. Our climate is especially hard on your car's finish, as the sun is very destructive to paint. Professional waxing helps to protect your paint and keeps it shining longer.
Detailing your car removes the dull haze, road tar and oxidation that simple washing will leave on. This is accomplished by using a professional buffer to buff and finish the polish. Then, a top-quality wax or polymer glaze is applied to enhance the shine and protect the paint. After the rejuvenation of the exterior, your car will look almost new.
In a complete automotive detailing, your upholstery and carpets are shampooed, the leather is cleaned and nourished, and the vinyl is treated with a protectant. This interior detail adds to your enjoyment by providing a fresh car look and smell inside to complement the new look outside.
Finally, the tires are treated with a protectant to restore their gloss, the top of the engine compartment is de-greased, and the hoses are dressed.

Why Should You Use Detailing?
Automobiles, regardless of the name plate, are a substantial investment. By now, you have probably found that all of the claims regarding permanent glaze and "last-forever", no-wax shielding are simply not true. If you are serious about keeping your car beautiful, increasing its longevity and commanding the highest possible resale value, professional detailing is the only way to go.
Most paints currently used by auto manufacturers are at their maximum gloss the day they are painted. Acrylic and clear coat begin to lose their shine only months after your purchase. Detailing restores the sparkle and shine so that your vehicle can look brand new.
