                             Detailing

 

 Auto detailing  is the performance of an extremely thorough cleaning, polishing and waxing of an automobile,

both inside and out, to produce a show-quality level of detail. Besides improving appearance, detailing helps to preserve

resale value of a car.

 

Today, the United States may have more than 50,000 detailers in operation.  Some are franchisees of national auto detailing chains.  Many have no actual business address, instead working as mobile operators or in vacant parking lots.^[1]

Detailing can be practiced for personal satisfaction, and it is also performed to prepare a car for car shows that

feature the appearance of cars.

 

       Components Of Detailing

 

 

Exterior Detailing 

Involves cleaning and bringing a shine to the car's paint, chrome trim, windows, wheels, and

tires.  Different detailers use different products to do this, including detergents, detail clay, waxes, polishes, and a variety 

of applicators and special cloths.

 

The three main components of exterior car detailing are cleaning, polishing, and protecting.  Cleaning refers to removing

all foreign surface particles from exterior surfaces through the use of washing and claying. A clay bar helps to clean

contamination/dirt from within the clearcoat that cannot be removed through weekly washing such as bugs, tar, sap, etc.

 

Protecting involves the application of a protective wax (in liquid or paste form) that prevents foreign matter from adhering

to the surface of the vehicle, including water, bugs splatter, tar, and dirt. Waxes and sealants provide this barrier against

the elements.

 

Correcting refers to using mechanical polishes by hand or with a machine and specific polishing pads that remove microns

of clearcoat from a vehicle to remove fine scratches and swirls from a paint surface produced from improper washing or

drying techniquents. Waxes are some of the most expensive elements of the detailing process.

 

        Interior Detailing 

Interior detailing involves cleaning the passenger compartment of the car.   All of the dash area, panels, windows, and

seats are cleaned extensively. Vacuuming is standard, and steam cleaning, liquid cleaners, and brushes may be used to

remove stains on upholstery. Some nonporous surfaces may also be polished. Some detailers remove seats to provide the

most thourough clean possible.
