Why Car Detailing Is A Must In L.A

 Car detailing is a deep, thorough cleaning and reconditioning of your vehicle – inside and out. Unlike a car wash which only focuses on surface cleaning, detailing services go deep, addressing every part of your car from the engine bay to the carpets. The goal of car detailing is not only to make your car look perfect but to preserve its value and condition for the long term, including protecting the car's paint from environmental factors.

Detailing involves a combination of cleaning, polishing, waxing and sometimes even repairing small imperfections in the car’s interior or exterior. There are two types of car detailing:

• Exterior detailing services: Washing, claying, polishing and waxing the exterior of the car (keeping the car’s shine), removing contaminants, making it shine and protecting the paint.
• Interior detailing services: Deep cleaning the inside of the car, vacuuming, shampooing carpets and upholstery, cleaning the dashboard and conditioning leather seats or materials.

In L.A the weather is different every single day. From a rainy day to a very sunnny day the next. So it is important your vehicle stays protected for any wheather.

While both car washing and a car detailing service clean your car, there’s a big difference in scope, depth, and results:

• Car Wash: A standard car wash is a quick rinse and scrub of the exterior of the car to remove dirt, grime and debris. It’s fast, cheap and convenient but doesn’t address the finer details.
• Car Detailing: Detailing is much more thorough. Exterior detailing is washing, claying, polishing and waxing to remove contaminants and restore the paint. Interior detailing focuses on the car's interior, including vacuuming, steam cleaning, and conditioning surfaces to make every inch of your car spotless, remove unpleasant odors and improve air quality.

• Car Wash: 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the car.
• Car Detailing: A full detail can take several hours to a full day depending on the level of detail and condition of your car.

• Car Wash: Basic wash is affordable, $10 to $30 for a basic wash and rinse.
• Car Detailing: Detailing is a premium service, $100 to $400 or more depending on the level of detail and size of your vehicle.

• Car Wash: A car wash will make your car look clean but won’t restore the shine or protect the surfaces.
• Car Detailing: Detailing will restore the appearance and protect your car’s exterior and interior for months.
