How much should I spend on car cleaning? Is it worth it, or should I just clean it by myself? All these are common questions many people ask themselves before proceeding with a professional vehicle detailing service. There are numerous advantages for going with a pro. But before delving deep into those advantages, let us talk briefly about the head start a professional detailer has on you purely due to the equipment and products in his possession.
The Effect of Professional Equipment & Products in The Vehicle Detailing Process
For the interior vehicle detailing part, a professional detailer would have an air compressor, detailing brushes, cleaning chemicals, and a wet & dry vacuum machine. And for the exterior cleaning, he would have a clay bar, a polisher, a bunch of cutting pads and cutting compounds, in addition to waxes and ceramic sealants & protectants. It will cost you an arm and a leg to buy all these items, when at the end, you will be using them once or twice a year. Now the question is, can you detail a vehicle without all these items? The answer is yes, but you will not get anywhere near the result a professional detailer can get you. So let us explore a few benefits of professional vehicle detailing services:
Interior Deep Cleaning & Protection
Professional vehicle detailing has the ability to deep clean your car's interior including stain removal from seats and floor due to the use of steam cleaners, wet & dry vacuums, chemical extractors, and strong suitable internal cleaning chemicals. On top of that, with the use of an air gun, detailers can reach to each and every tight spot of your car's interior. Professional detailers can also make sure to apply protection on leather and plastic surfaces of the interior.
Odor Treatment & Elimination
The use of a steam cleaner & chemical extractor, along with the use of professional grade chemicals during the deep cleaning process help eliminating any bad smells coming out from the carpet or seats due to humidity or food spills.
Promoting Healthy Interior
Asking a professional to complete the vehicle detailing, especially if it is done regularly, can help eliminating the bacteria from the interior of your car, improving the air quality, and creating a healthier environment for passengers.
High Attention to Details
A professional and experienced car detailer can certainly have more attention to details than an amateur. He will make sure to tackle those hard-to-reach areas like the air vents, some areas under the seats, and some crevices where dirt and dust can build up.
Safer Driving Experience
When detailing your vehicle by a pro, he makes sure that the windows are perfectly cleaned inside and out with the relevant chemicals and cloths. This will increase the driver's visibility while cruising on busy roads, which promotes safety for the driver and other motorists.
Paint Protection Applied
All detailing professionals consider the application of some type of paint protection after every job as essential. Amateurs try to follow the same steps sometimes, however, their lack of experience in the field prevents them from knowing which product is best for each situation. Also in some cases, they wouldn't have access to first grade paint protections and waxes.
Better Car Look & Feel
The meticulous cleaning procedure performed by a detailer can dramatically change the look and feel of your car. The deep cleaning, polishing & waxing can bring your car to like-new condition by eliminating the stains and minimizing scratches and swirl marks on the exterior if your vehicle.
Longer Vehicle Life
What most people don't know is that vehicle detailing is an essential task of the vehicle's general maintenance, and not only an occasional cleaning process. Cleaning the engine regularly for example can help you detect any leaks very early and prevent bigger damages. Applying proper protectants on the car's paint can shield it from many contaminants like bird dropping and tree sap, and also from harmful UV rays, which can extend its life.
Higher Resale Value
Well maintained and detailed vehicles give an impression to the buyer that the car was taken good care of. The appearance of a vehicle plays also a big role on determining its price. A car with peeled or damaged paint due to bird dropping will sell for less than the same car with almost new paint on it. The same applies if the car is full of stains on the inside for example. Most detailing companies even have a service called Presale Detail.
