What is Detailing?
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.
Polishing refers to using mechanical polishes by hand or with a machine and specific polishing pads that remove micrometers of clearcoat from a vehicle to remove fine scratches and swirls from a paint surface produced from improper washing or drying technique.
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. Waxes are some of the most expensive elements of the detailing process.
