It’s essential to have a car that functions well, is clean, sanitary, and looks good. For most car owners, frequent visits to a car detailing service are the best way to achieve this. However, choosing the right one among numerous car service companies can take time. 

Some car owners may try to detail their vehicles themselves but conducting your car care with experienced and highly trained professionals is crucial to ensure your asset isn’t damaged. All car owners need to know what to look for while searching for a car maintenance service. So, we’ve put together this post to help you learn everything you should expect from a top-notch car detailing service. 

Car detailing at Simplicity Car Care

Car detailing is much more than a simple car wash. It involves more meticulous and detailed cleaning and maintenance services to restore a car to an almost new state. Frequent detailing increases a vehicle’s lifespan, enhances its appearance, improves paint conditions, and increases its resale value. It would be best if you only entrusted car detailing to highly trained professionals who know precisely what they’re doing. Here’s what the average car detailing process at Simplicity Car Care looks like. 

We offer both interior and exterior car detailing services. 

Interior detailing

This process involves cleaning inside parts of the car by professionals. They know exactly where to look to get rid of all the dirt that falls into hidden corners. It starts with cleaning out all dirt and debris in the car and removing floor mats and other car accessories. They’ll then clean and vacuum the car floors. 

Once the car floors are clean, we dust the dashboard, interior panels, and centre console using manual microfibre dusters and air compressors to get the dust hiding in crevices. The next step is cleaning hard surfaces, such as console pieces and upholstery. 

The final interior detailing step is cleaning your car’s glass. This part of your vehicle is sensitive to cleaning operations. We only use soft microfibre materials and cleaners to get the best clean and leave glasses in a good state. We thoroughly clean everything from the back and rearview mirror to the side windows and windshield.

Exterior detailing 

External detailing involves more than a simple wash and rinse. The first step is to remove all the surface dirt and grime, such as dust or mud. We do this part away from sunlight and start with a thorough rinse from top to bottom of the vehicle. 

Next, we clean the wheels and tires using powerful tools and cleansers to remove road grime and brake dust. After the first rinse, we thoroughly rewash the car from the top, starting from the roof to the bottom, using gentle but effective cleansers. 

After that, we dry the vehicle using a microfibre cloth. We don’t airdry cars as this leads to water spots. Finally, we wax and go over your car with lubricants and other materials that help protect your paint and keep it waterproof. 

Five things to expect from a car service

It’s essential to know what to look for now that you understand what goes into a car detailing procedure. You’ll be able to spot a qualified car detailing service you can trust with your vehicle if they have the following services. 

Documentation process

Knowing what to expect when you send your car in for detailing is ideal. Look for car services that have a detailed description and documentation of their services, so you know what they’ll be doing to your vehicle. 

They should also add all services done on your car to public records, so there’s a paper trail of how often and well you care for your vehicle. This shows whoever looks up your car how much maintenance and care it has received, thus increasing its resale value and expanding its lifespan. 

Claying services 

Vehicles sometimes require deeper treatments to eliminate some stains. Claying or clay bar treatments use synthetic poly clay to buff out stains and contaminants on your car’s exterior paint. It helps remove scratches and other bonded contaminants without damaging a car’s body and opens the clear coat surface, so paint sealants and wax sink in deeper. Ensure your detailer provides a thorough claying service so you get the most out of your car detailing session. 

How they clean leather 

This is especially important for car owners with leather interiors. Leather upholstery needs special cleaning to ensure it never cracks. Ensure the car detailing service you’re going with has a detailed breakdown of how they clean leather to maintain its appearance and boost longevity. 

Ensure your chosen detailer uses only gentle leather cleaners and soaps to remove stains and keep leather interiors supple. They should also use only high-quality polishes to maintain a good appearance. This will ensure your upholstery is cleaned correctly and receives no damage.

Experience, skills, and tools used 

Look for experienced professionals with a proven record of offering car detailing services. They should know the difference between a simple car wash and car detailing. Most of this information is available on the business’s website. 

It should be concerning if they don’t have a professional website with details of how they carry out their services. Also, look out for car services that mention the types of tools and products they use so you can be sure of their quality. 

They should also have the right tools and supplies to complete the job correctly, as using the wrong tools can damage your vehicle’s appearance. Feel free to contact the company and ask questions about the qualifications and the types of products they use.

Client reviews 

Reviews are an excellent way to learn about a business’s performance and qualifications. Research and learn what other car owners who’ve used a service have to say about the company. Reviews can be found anywhere online, from search engines to social media, and the business’s website. 

Many people are keen to share their negative and positive experiences, so look for firms with more good reviews than bad ones. Going with a company with positive reviews on customer experience, communication, professionalism, and skillfulness means you’ll likely have the same experience and can trust them to offer good services.
