What’s Involved in a Full Car Detail?

When detailing a car, technicians typically work on the outside — then move inward. Below, you can learn more about the steps involved in a car detailing:

• Use all purpose cleaner; remove dead bugs, road, debris, or other substances while avoiding scratching the paint.
• A car is washed with a soft mitt or cloth and auto wash soap. A soft-bristled brush is often needed for grime around the emblems, trim, and in between panels.
• A car is dried, and a glass cleaner is used to remove spots from the windows.
• A stiff brush and tire cleaner is used to clean the tires and to get sparkling results.
• Car wax is applied for an even more dazzling finished look.

Moving into the cabin, the technicians pay close attention to hidden crevices, such as the spaces between seats. Using a vacuum, the technicians remove any crumbs, dirt, and debris. They’ll also get rid of any trash that may have been forgotten about under the seats.

Tips for Interior Car Detailing at Home

If you’re detailing your car’s interior or at least trying to tidy it up, keep the following tips in mind to make life easier for yourself:

• Canned air works wonders to blast dirt out of crevices. Wooden skewers and cotton swabs help clean anything trapped in tight spaces. And, when used with cleaning products, they can give your cup holders and console a fresh look.
• Use silly putty for vents. Carefully press it into the opening and pull it out slowly. Dirt and dust will be gone — just like that!
• Invest in foam cleaners. Use them to remove stains from carpet and upholstery without saturating the fibers.
