Mobile Car Detailing vs Local Car Wash

At your local car wash, the most your car can hope for is to be drenched in soapy water, which doesn’t do a bad job of getting the exterior dirt off your vehicle, but does it CLEAN your car? Absolutely not. The difference between mobile car detailing and washing your car at a local car wash is quite literally all in the detail.

The Benefits of Mobile Car Detailing Central Coast

Regular car cleanings, for the average vehicle owner, should happen at least every month to remove the bulk of the grime, dust, and dirt and to protect the paint. However, every 6 – 12 months, your vehicle will also greatly benefit from full professional detailing service, in addition to the hand washing.

Professional car detailing is less of a form of cleaning and much more of a long-term maintenance plan, which never allows your vehicle to look dated – regardless of age! Sure, particular models will age as the decades slip by, but that is no reason to let the elements strip even more value from your vehicle.

Mobile car detailing companies are a convenient way to have your car professionally detailed; book an appointment, hand the team the keys, and sit back, relax with a coffee and wait.  Before you know it, your car will give off those fresh off the forecourt feels.

What Do Car Detailers Do That Car-Washers Don’t?

You could expect washing, waxing, and maybe vacuuming the footwells and the seats at the local car wash, but with a professional car detail, every crevice, nook, and fabric is refreshed. Plus, both the exterior and the interior will be rejuvenated after the car has been gone over with a fine-toothed comb.

Some of the main steps included in a professional car detail include shampooing carpets, restoring headlights, removal of debris from the wheels, and buffing any imperfections on the paintwork.

The cost of a professional car detail, even at affordable rates, will be significantly higher than with a standard local car wash – do not let this deter you. The price is a reflection of how long a car detail takes. Depending on the size of your car and the state of the vehicle when the detailers started on it, the process could take several hours or an entire day.

Included in the price of a car detailing are all the specialist brushes, cleaning products and the experience of the car detailers that have more than put the time in to learn how to apply the professional touch. Even if you read all the how-to guides on how to detail your car at home, the result will still be worlds away from what you can expect from a company, such as VIP Car Care Central Coast.
