Why Is Car Detailing Important?

There are several reasons why car detailing is important. The first one we already mentioned - a gross vehicle not only reflects on you poorly but it’s also not a nice place to spend time. If you’re someone who spends a decent amount of time in your vehicle, you might as well try and make it an enjoyable experience. And if you find yourself driving around with friends or co-workers in your car, nothing is more disgusting than having to brush off the seats of someone else’s crumbs off the seats. 


Secondly, there is likely going to come a day when you’re going to want to sell your car or truck and at that time you’ll want to get the most value from it. A well cared for car is going to attract a higher sales price at the end of the day. Having a regular 
auto detailing frequency will undoubtedly protect the value of your vehicle in the long run. Let’s face it,
whatever you’re driving around Greenville in was not cheap!

Car detailing can protect your car’s value over time by protecting the paint from the dirt, road grime and Greenville's harmful UV rays because the process includes putting a high-grade wax or sealant over your paint. Having the outside of your car detailed regularly will ensure the paint is never truly exposed to these elements so that nothing ever sticks to it. The clear coat of your car paint protection put on by the manufacturer does not protect your vehicle from the elements, but a wax coat can. A car that shines like brand new is easier to sell. It’s like a person who is going for his job interview; it creates a good impression. The same is true for your car. If it is dirty and the interior is full of stains, it might turn off potential buyers.

 Interior car detailing not only makes the ride more pleasant for you and anyone else, but also protects the vinyl and plastics from UV rays induced fading and cracking. Of course, having your carpets shampooed regularly will also prevent any fluid spills from permanently staining. It will also help to fight against unpleasant odors, such as those brought on by carrying around pets, from smoking or from transporting food. 


A clean car can boost your mood and make you feel good. When we feel good we are more productive, more active, and tend to take better care of ourselves. It’s easy for cars to get cluttered and dirty, especially our daily drivers and family vehicles. Nothing clutters, splatters, and messes up your car more than kids. Our emotions are very much affected by the environment, so when we get into a car that is dirty and cluttered on a daily basis, it can have a negative impact on our emotional well-being. Regular car detailing can help fight against that. Nothing is better than stepping into a freshly detailed car. With less clutter and filth around you, keeping a clean car can keep you more clear-minded and productive. 


Auto Detailing is good for your health. There are millions of germs and microbes inhabiting the interiors of your car. These unwanted passengers can bring about sicknesses like the flu virus etc. The dust, debris, and dirt inside your car harbor these germs and can also aggravate your or your passenger’s allergies. A lot of dust particles can get in the carpet or ventilation of a car. Through car detailing, a thorough vacuum and sanitation can remove these dirt particles and kill the germs. If you sneeze and sniffle a lot, you might want to take your car for detailing.  Greenville Car Detailing understands what it takes to truly clean your car's interior.

If you use your vehicle for work, whether you’re in sales or you drive around a work branded truck, you have either a personal or company brand to protect. Your car or truck might be the first impression you make on your customer and that person will indeed form some opinions about you based on it. Your cleanliness, or lack thereof, will speak to your organization, or lack thereof, and what they think of your ability to be organized will help them form a judgment about what kind of service they may receive from you or your company. What first impression do you want to give? We want to make sure it's a good one, so let us be your home for Greenville NC Car Detailing.

Steps to a Quality Car Detailing

Now that you know why it’s important to detail your vehicle, let’s review some of the key elements of high quality car detailing

  • Washing the wheels and tires with a separate microfiber wash mitt or scratch-proof soft bristle wheel brush is key because this is where the majority of the road grime and brake dust build-up sits. It’s well understood that wheel cleaners with formulations to the left of the pH scale are highly effective at breaking down grime and other stuff coated on wheels. The largest percentage of wheel cleaning agents used by consumers today are dedicated wheel cleaners. These typically contain pH neutral Wheel Cleaning agents. They work by breaking down brake dust, road grime through agitation after being sprayed on the surface. Most of them include foaming agents and surfactants designed to lift and remove debris.  Important: When car detailing, make it a point to take care of the wheels and tires first when car detailing so that you don’t end up messing up an already clean, polished and waxed car by trying to do the tires last.
  • Pre-washing is an incredibly significant stage of car detailing that can be easily overlooked if people don’t understand the importance of it or how much it can affect the end result; pre-washing your vehicle relieves it of excess bugs, dirt and grime that would otherwise later be swirled across the paint-surface with a sponge or mitt and potentially scratch the paint work, which could in turn cause swirls or dullness. Our pre-wash products were designed specifically to lift said contamination from the surface during a brief contactless wash to prepare the car for a deeper clean.
  • A good car detailing uses the Two-Bucket Method Wash. It's important to use a good-quality shampoo, further reducing the likelihood of any marring or light scratches or swirls, the deep pile allows any particles to be absorbed into the mitt as opposed to pressed and dragged across the surface. Fill one bucket with wash solution, the other with plain water. Apply wash solution to the vehicle (washing from top down small sections at a time) - Rinse the mitt first in the water bucket before taking fresh wash solution to the car. This method ensures you don't contaminate your wash solution and are always using clean wash water on your car.
  • Another way car detailing differs from just a straight car wash is the removal of contaminants and pollutants from your paint. A Clay Bar Treatment is the process of using a clay bar to remove contaminants from the surface of your car. Common contaminants that pollute and slowly destroy your vehicle include things like rail dust, brake dust, and industrial fallout. These pollutants can penetrate through paint, glass, and metal and settle on those components even after several car washes and polishing. It’s pretty easy to determine whether you should clay right now. Massage your hand along your car. Do you feel roughness? If so, it’s time to clay and draw those particles out of the paint.  Auto detailing clay bars are a resin mixture designed to remove contaminants from surfaces. When you glide the clay bar along the surface of your car, it picks up anything extending from the surface. The dust and dirt get stuck to the clay, and so you’ve successfully removed the containment. An important note to keep in mind is that you always spray lubricant or detailer spray before claying. The lubrication stops loose debris from scratching your car. Clay is better than polishing because the polishing process sometimes removes a thin layer of paint, while claying is non abrasive.

  • Auto detailers use a streak-free drying method. Start at the top of the vehicle and work your way down. Tackling it panel by panel will be the easiest way to make sure you get every area streak free. It's important to work quickly (to avoid water spots), while being thorough so as not to leave any streaks from the drying process. If you are left with any water spots, a quick detailer is a great product to clean them up with after. Quick detailers, which are often called waterless washes, are commonly used by detailers and car enthusiasts to put the finishing touch on a freshly detailed vehicle. Quick Detail Spray products quickly and easily remove water spots, streaks, dust and other light contamination.

Still More Steps to A Quality Car Detailing Process...

  • Greenville Car Detailing understands that while it's true that car detailing clay does the heavy lifting, it doesn't replace the need to use a car polish cleaner. A fine car polish which is often called a pre-wax cleaner, will remove old wax, embedded dirt and light stains from your paint. They also help to restore gloss and remove light surface imperfections, such as swirl marks and water spot etching. If your paint is in excellent condition, a good car polish will keep it healthy so you can avoid having to use heavy rubbing compounds to remove paint damage.
  • Detailers use glazes after polishing to fill in those left over tiny scratches and swirls that you simply can't polish out, or that were missed. A car detailing glaze will leave the surface looking dripping wet and is sure to impress even the most discerning customer. Glazes are best applied after claying and polishing your vehicle, but before sealing and waxing. In order for your glaze to stick the best and get the best results, it's important to clay bar your car first to purify the surface of any impurities.
  • Each one of these stages is as important as the other, but waxing or sealing is right up there in the must do list of car detailing. Applying a layer of wax or sealant will protect all your previous hard work from the prior steps mentioned. The critical attributes of car wax to consider are gloss improvement, durability, ease of application, ease of removal, how well it cleans the paint surface, protection from UV rays, and compatibility with plastics. Carnauba wax, which is typically preferred among professional detailers. Waxes applied after vehicle detailing sits on top of the paint and help to create deeper hues in the paint with a liquid-like finish.
  • Sprucing up your tires and wheels is a must when car detailing to make the car look new again. There are products to get plastics back to their true colors, as well as things that will spruce up your tires without making them greasy. Caring for your tires means more than just slapping on some tire dressing and calling it a day. A lot of detailing enthusiasts do not understand the importance of properly preparing your tires before applying a dressing. Properly preparing your tires can help increase the durability of your dressing and minimize tire dressing sling. There are various types of tire dressing on the market: water based and silicone based. Water-based tire dressings get absorbed into your rubber and can actually nourish your rubber keeping them soft and flexible. Silicone-based tire dressings mainly sit on the surface of your tire, which often leads to tire dressing sling. Silicone based dressings can dry out your rubber and also brown it over time. Silicone based dressings are typically glossier than water based dressings..
  • A good coating of wax on your windows will help repel rain, as well as quiet your windshield wipers when they're in use. It's best to wax your windows to really keep your car looking like it just rolled out of the showroom. Great-looking windows will help you complete your car's pristine appearance and is a must for any car detailing.
