Paint Preservation

A vehicle detail can assist in removing debris that causes paint scratches. Detailers also use professional-grade wax to correct paint and add an extra layer of protection to prevent cracking, scratches, and excessive wear and tear.

Oder Elimination

Vehicle interior detailing eliminates odors by removing grime and filth and applying an odor eliminator to foul odors. An air freshener, unlike an odor eliminator, is a temporary solution that removes unpleasant odors. Consider having an ozone purifier service added to get rid of those extra germs floating around.

Upholstery Protection

Do it Yourself – Maintain

If you are in the market to do this yourself, you may not have all the professional tools, but you can maintain it on our own by simply shampooing your car every two weeks to maintain a clear coat of paint and drying the paintwork using a microfiber towel, get rid of swirl marks with polish instead of wax, apply wax with a power buffer to get that ultimate shine, and purchase a dual-action polisher if needed. Get a wheel cleaner, chrome polish, and any other product to help move the process along. If you are going to do the inside as well most of your local auto body parts stores will carry all the product you need to get the job done and a good vacuum cleaner with a carpet brush to pull any hairs from the carpet or upholstery. It does take time so prepare to block out a few hours to complete a full detailing.
