What does a detailed cleaning consist of?

A detailing service is more than just a car wash. It's a comprehensive service designed to restore and preserve your vehicle's appearance, both inside and out. Unlike a quick wash, a detailing service focuses on every nook and cranny and uses advanced techniques to deliver a flawless finish.

1. Detailed Exterior Cleaning

Your car's exterior is constantly exposed to the elements (pollution, salt, insects, tar, etc.). A thorough cleaning helps remove these contaminants and protect the paintwork.

Steps for exterior cleaning:
✅ Deep pre-wash to remove dirt without damaging the paint.
✅ Manual washing with technique to minimize micro-scratches.
✅ Cleaning cracks and corners on the exterior of the vehicle.
✅ Decontamination of paint to remove embedded particles (brake dust, tar, sap, etc.).
✅ Cleaning rims and tires with specialized products to restore their shine.
✅ Treatment of exterior plastics to avoid discoloration.
✅ Application of a wax, sealant or nano-ceramic coating for lasting protection against the elements.
✅ Cleaning exterior windows for optimal visibility.

If we compare a detailed cleaning with a wash in a hand car wash:
* Detailed cleaning takes on average two to three hours to complete, while a wash generally takes 15 minutes.
* Detail cleaning aims to restore the vehicle's new appearance, while washing aims to remove the majority of visible dirt.
* During a detail cleaning we use the best products on the market which are very expensive while a car wash will use the least expensive products to reduce their costs.

2. Detailed Interior Cleaning

The interior of your vehicle accumulates dust, dirt, and bacteria. A thorough cleaning ensures a clean, fresh, and healthy interior.

Steps for interior cleaning:
✅ Full suction carpets, seats and trunk.
✅ Cleaning plastics and door panels with specific products.
✅ Shampooing and extraction of fabric seats and carpets to remove stains and bad odors.
✅ Treatment and hydration of leather seats to prevent cracking and drying out.
✅ Cleaning interior windows for perfect clarity.
✅ Disinfection of frequently touched surfaces (steering wheel, gear lever, buttons, touch screens).

If we compare a detailed cleaning with a wash in a hand car wash:
* During a detailed cleaning, we aim to clean every crack and corner, and clean the entire interior, even the barely visible or invisible areas, whereas a car wash will do a general cleaning of large surfaces for a quick job.
* The products used for our interior detailing packages are among the best on the market, while a car wash will use the least expensive products to reduce costs.
