Auto Detailing: What is it?

The term “auto detailing” refers to the entire process of cleaning, restoring, and protecting the exterior and interior of a vehicle.

 Detailing is more than just washing the car; it also includes a comprehensive inspection using tools designed specifically for that purpose. The car will be cleaned, polished, and coated to bring back its original shine.  When you detail your car, you also restore its interior by thoroughly cleaning the upholstery, carpeting, and dashboard to get rid of odors and stains. It’s a crucial part of vehicle maintenance that can keep your car running for a long time and in good condition.

Car detailing has numerous benefits for car owners. Professional treatments and products are used to polish, and clean surfaces. Some of the primary advantages of auto detailing for car owners and their vehicles are as follows:

INCREASE THE LIFE SPAN OF THE VEHICLE

Car detailing extends vehicle life. Deep cleaning of the interior upholstery, seats, and carpets to remove dirt, dust, and spilled drinks can help your car last longer. Fewer scratches and other blemishes mean longer-lasting exterior paint. Preventing excessive wear and tear on your vehicle saves money on repairs and replacements. Regular detailing can also prevent rust and corrosion, extending the life of your car.

INTERIOR MAINTENANCE

Dust, dirt, and sunlight can gradually deteriorate the upholstery in your car if you don’t keep it clean and in good condition. A car detailing service can quickly and easily solve the issue. You can avoid cracking and tearing by using protective products like a leather moisturizer. In addition to extending the life of your car’s upholstery, regular interior detailing will help keep your car looking like new.

INCREASE FUTURE RESALE VALUE

Car detailing is an excellent way to increase your vehicle’s resale value. We at Fresh Details can make your car look like it just came out of the showroom, which will raise its value and make it more appealing to potential buyers. One can expect to get more money for a well-kept and spotless car than for a similar vehicle that has seen better days.

Shampoo/ Steam & Extraction Deep Cleaning – Do you have heavily soiled mats, carpets, or upholstery that you would like to be taken care of?  Our 3-step cleaning method goes above and beyond what our Level 2 & 3 service provides.  This allows us to bring the interior to an almost like new finish.  *Important Note- Pending the type of stain(s), how long it has been there and its location, not all stains may come out, but we try our best to remove most, if not all of the stains in question.

Replace Cabin Air Filter – Its recommended to change your cabin air filter every 15,000 miles.  A new filter blocks pollutants and allergens from entering in your cabin.  Replacing a clogged/dirty air filter can have a huge effect on the efficiency of your air system, meaning better air flow and fresher air.  

Pet Hair / Sand Removal – Is your interior covered in pet hair, or your seats & floors littered with sand?  Say no more, we can take care of that for you.  Removing either of these from your vehicle can be very time consuming, therefore it is not included in any of our details but an add on to your detail. 

Ozone Treatment – Do you have lingering odors, such as pet, smoke or worse that you’d like to eliminate?    Ozone treatments are the best method for removing stubborn odors.   Ozone treatment is the use of gas ozone (O3) to remove odors, bacteria, and viruses. We will place an ozone generator in your vehicle for a designated amount of time, depending on the strength of the odor. 

1 Year Ceramic Coating Sealant – Get protected with one of THE MOST ADVANCED spray coatings on the market! Provides 12+ months of protection to all areas of your vehicle.

Glass Protection by System X Ceramics – System X Glass protects all your exterior glass surfaces.  Much like above, an exterior glass treatment will drastically improve visibility when driving during harsh weather conditions.  It is designed to combat all wet weather driving nuisances, including rain, snow and sleet.  This also helps prevent dirt, mud and insects from sticking to the glass surfaces.

Wheel Sealant Application – *Included in Level 3 Detail*, Protective sealant that improves and maintains the appearance of your wheels. Long lasting protection from brake dust, dirt, tar, bugs, water and anything else that impacts your wheels.  Because these contaminants are unable to penetrate this barrier, pitting and corrosion are prevented and your wheels remain clear and shiny.  Able to be applied to any type of wheel.  Lasts approximately 2-4 months.

Semi-Permanent Tire Shine – *Included in Level 3 Detail*, This coating acts as a tough shield to protect your tire against the elements that can cause fading and cracking.  Will not fade away or sling onto your paintwork.  It eliminates the need for tire cleaners and lasts approximately 2-4 months.   

Black Trim Refresh – Do you have black plastic trim that is faded and lost its color?  Restore and protect your faded black trim with our Black Trim package.  This product is a ceramic coating that restores unpainted plastic trim to its original glory.  It doesn’t wash off and lasts approximately 1-2 years.  

Hand Wax / Liquid Wax Application – *Included in Level 3 Detail*, Substitute the spray wax application found in Detail Levels 1 & 2 with a Carnauba paste wax or Liquid wax applied with a DA Orbital Buffer.  Our hand wax creates a strong, long-lasting protection to preserve the finish with a brilliant reflective shine.    

System X Ceramic Sealant Application – Looking for paint protection that lasts longer than a wax?  Our Ceramic sealant application provides up to 9 months of gloss, hydrophobic properties and extra protection for your vehicle.  This sealant is also recommended to be applied every 3-4 months for vehicles with a ceramic coat already. 

Iron Decontamination & Clay Bar Service – *Included in Level 3 Detail*, Eliminate iron deposits and embedded dirt from your car’s paintwork.  Foreign particles block wax from sticking to the paint, making it last for a shorter time and not shine as bright.  The rough feeling on your car’s exterior is pollution, industrial fallout, and environmental contamination stuck in the pores of the paintwork.  It’s suggested to decontaminate the surface with a clay bar before putting on a new coat of wax or polishing any exterior paintwork. 

Gloss Enhancement Packages – Has your vehicle lost its shine and luster.  Looking to get it back?  Select one of our gloss enhancement packages to get your vehicle back to showroom condition.  Each package includes an Iron Decontamination and Claybar treatment.

Stage 1 Paint Correction:  *Included in Level 3 Detail*, This process is used for paint in already pretty good condition with very minor defects. This removes light scratches/swirls and brightens up the exterior paint leaving an amazing gloss.  For Stage 1, we use a finishing polish and a finishing pad, then follow it with a wax or paint sealant to protect the paint work.

Stage 2 Paint Correction: This process is used on vehicles with some swirl marks and/ medium to light scratches.  This takes 2 polish and pad combinations. First, an abrasive polish removes the paint defects then a finishing polish and pad are used to refine the paint work afterwards. Again, it’s followed by a wax or paint sealant for protection. This can take about 4-8 hours on average. 

Scratch Removal – Have unsightly scratches you want gone?  We can help!  We can remove most surface scratches by the panel by using our buffing & compounding method.    

Headlight Restoration – Headlight visibility is an important safety factor that should not be ignored.  Headlights that are hazed over or foggy will not produce the same light output as clear headlights at night.  If you feel like it’s getting harder to see at night and your light output is not as bright as it once was, it may be time to clear them up with our headlight restoration package.  Comes with a 1-year warranty from fogging and hazing.

Engine Bay Cleaning – Clean engine bay and then dress up plastics to a like new finish.

Why is car detailing important?

How long does it take to detail a car?

The time required to detail a vehicle is a function of the specifics of the detailing options chosen. A thorough exterior detail could take up to two days, while a speedy interior detail could take as little as two hours. Depending on the scale of the project at hand, the time spent on the detailing phase can vary significantly.

How often should you detail your car?

Regular detailing of a brand-new vehicle is recommended at least twice a year, depending on the vehicle’s condition and aesthetic preferences. Regular detailing can have a huge impact on a car’s condition and the more often it is done, the better the results will be.
