Car detailing is a comprehensive care of the vehicle, aimed at restoring its appearance and protecting it from negative environmental factors. Unlike a regular car wash, detailing includes not only cleaning, but also polishing, coating protection, and detailed interior work. Detailing Studio Chicago provides a full range of services.
Features of car detailing
Detailing uses specialized detergents that effectively remove complex contaminants, bitumen, insect traces, and dust. Cleaning is carried out not only on the surface of the body, but also in hard-to-reach places, including wheel arches and doorways. Over time, the paintwork of the car becomes dull and covered with small scratches. Polishing helps to eliminate these defects, restore shine, and give the body a “mirror” effect. After polishing, a protective layer is applied to the car body, which can be wax, ceramic, or nanocoating. They create a barrier, preventing paint fading, exposure to chemicals, and mechanical damage. Detailing includes cleaning, polishing and applying hydrophobic compounds to glass and headlights. This improves visibility in rainy weather and extends the life of the optics. Interior detailing includes dry cleaning of seats, treatment of plastic elements, care of leather surfaces and elimination of unpleasant odors. Special products help keep the car interior in perfect condition.
Detailing rules
Before detailing, it is necessary to carry out a preliminary wash to remove the main dirt and dust. This will avoid scratches during subsequent processing. At the stage of cleaning the body, special compounds are used to remove bitumen, insects and metal particles that cannot be washed with a regular wash. For cleaning, the so-called “glue bar” is used, which removes the smallest contaminants. Polishing of the body is carried out in several stages using abrasive and finishing pastes. It allows you to remove scratches, oxidation and return the original shine to the car. After polishing, wax, ceramic coating or quartz compound is applied to the body. This helps protect the car from negative external influences and also facilitates its subsequent maintenance. Cleaning of glass and headlights is performed using special compounds that remove plaque and micro-scratches. Then a hydrophobic coating is applied, which improves visibility in the rain and prevents contamination. Interior detailing involves cleaning the upholstery, plastic and leather elements, as well as dry cleaning of carpets and ceiling. Antistatic and protective compounds are used, which extend the service life of materials.
