Detailing involves a thorough cleaning and reconditioning of both the interior and exterior of your vehicle, generally consisting of a more in-depth service than a standard wash and vacuum.  It is a meticulous step-by-step process to restore your vehicle’s beauty and protect your investment.  Detailing services can extend beyond automobiles and could include trucks, buses, SUVs, RVs, boats, motorcycles, or even airplanes.  Many detailing companies are able to handle some, or all, of these types of vehicles.

The single and most important aspect of auto detailing is your vehicle’s need for protection from the elements.  A common misconception is that a vehicle’s “clear coat” protects the exterior finish, and thus regular maintenance is not required.  In reality, a wax coat should be applied at least twice a year to the painted surfaces to protect the finish from contaminants and oxidation.  Although some dealerships offer an extra protection package for the vehicle at the time of purchase, this should not be considered a permanent solution.

There is no set guideline to what is included in a business's detailing menu or package.  Many businesses have different options that cover basic or express services, such as a wash and wax or an interior cleaning, while other packages can go more in-depth and involve machine polishing, interior stain removal, or more.

Since what is included in a “detailing” service can vary, an important consideration is to determine the specific services that you would like to have performed on your vehicle.  There may be multiple levels of detailing packages available that vary in services performed and cost.  Contributing factors to these variations can include: different levels of training, quality of service, professionalism, and the products and equipment utilized.

A thorough and high quality detailing job should take several hours, depending on the prior condition of the vehicle being detailed.  The results of a detailing job will also vary based on the level of service provided and the age/condition of the vehicle.  Basically, you should expect that every “detail” of your vehicle will be assessed and cleaned, including all cracks and crevices.  So whether you’ve just purchased a previously owned vehicle, are getting ready to sell your vehicle, or simply want to have your vehicle looking great again by restoring its original beauty, professional auto detailing can take your vehicle from ordinary to extraordinary.

It is best to talk to your detailer about your needs so they can recommend the service that is right for you.

Once a vehicle is detailed, driving conditions and maintenance will determine how often the vehicle will need to be cleaned.

To prevent contamination and soils from building up and bonding to the vehicle, many professionals recommend that a vehicle is washed an vacuumed at least once every two weeks.

A vehicle's paint should be protected with wax, sealant, or coating at all times.  These products can last anywhere from a few weeks all the way up to many years.  Before any of these protection products are applied, the vehicle must be completely washed or decontaminated.  Always ask your detailer how long their protective product lasts and when it should be re-applied.

Paint correction or machine polishing a vehicle's paint should only be done as needed.  The paint correction process removes a small amount of the total thickness of a vehicle's paint system and, if polished too many times, eventually the paint system will become too thin and frail.

For the interior, carpets and upholstery should be vacuumed regularly.  Spills, large pieces of debris, and pet fur should be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent embedding in fibers, staining, or lingering odors.

In most cases, modern automotive leather is color-dyed and coated.  Coated leather should be cleaned at a minimum of every 3-4 months.  While protectant is recommended, conditioning is not a requirement for coated leather.

Upholstery and carpet shampoo should be done as needed for spills, soils, or anytime vacuuming will not remove the soil.

Approximate times are 3 to 4 hours for an exterior or interior detail and 6 to 8 hours for a complete detail. Times vary depending on size and condition of vehicle, additional services requested, etc.
