What Auto Detailing Is

Auto detailing is a multi-step process performed to thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of an automobile to help restore and maintain showroom quality appearance, smell and performance and protect and enhance its paint's finish. Auto detailers do much more than wash and clean vehicles with soap and water. Professional car detailers
use specialized cleaning agents, polishes and techniques and a meticulous step-by-step process to remove dirt, mud, stains, foul odors, bird droppings, oxidation, scratches, dings, dents, paint imperfection and other blemishes and thoroughly clean every nook and cranny and leave the vehicle looking and smelling great.

Importance Of Auto Detailing

Once your car leaves the showroom floor, it is exposed to a lot of destructive elements. That includes rain, snow, dust, mud, as well as stones, sand and other roadway debris, caustic chemicals in the air, oxidation and degradation caused by the sun's UV rays and other environmental factors and dings, dents and scratches from people and vehicles coming in contact with it. If your car's exterior isn't regularly cleaned and protected, your paint's protective hard coat and its trim, rubber and plastic exterior surfaces will quickly begin to degrade, deteriorate and look a mess.

Clean, Disinfect And Protect

The interior of your car will also quickly begin to suffer if it's not detailed and it's surfaces cleaned, protected and disinfected. Normal wear and tear, exposure to wet and dirty shoes and clothes, accidental drink and food spills and pet messes that are not immediately and properly cleaned up and body odors, dust and dirt immediately begin to seep into, contaminate and degrade the interior of your car. If your car is not regularly detailed, before you know it the interior will begin to look faded, drab and dirty, smell like spoiled milk and have air quality that's a health hazard.

Potentially Reduced Safety, Performance & Value

Dirty air and foul odors spread germs and allergens throughout a car's cabin that endanger the health of the occupants. Dirt, grit, grime, spills and stains on knobs and switches can impair their function. Dirty, hazy windows can make it difficult for drivers to see the road clearly. Plus, dirty, faded, discolored and cracked seats, dashboards and other interior surfaces and scratches, dents and a horrible looking paint job can cause a car's bluebook or resale value to plummet. Having your car detailed regularly addresses all of these issues, saves you money and makes being in your car safer and more enjoyable.

The Most Common Automobile Detailing Processes 

Auto detailers have a series of processes they use to ensure the vehicle they are working on is properly cleaned, sanitized, protected and restored inside and out. The most common processes they use are:

1. Interior Detailing
2. Exterior Detailing
3. Ceramic Coating
4. Paint Correction
5. Headlight Restoration

While not every car detail job requires all of these services be performed, these are some of the primary services SMV Mobile Detailing and other companies who detail cars offer to their clients. Some car detailers also give their customers the option to have their engine steam cleaned as part of their car care and detailing service.  

1. Interior Detail 
The goal of interior car detailing is to thoroughly clean, sanitize, disinfect and protect the seats, carpeting, mats, door panels, dashboard, steering wheel, windows and other surfaces. This leaves them looking clean and smelling great. Automobile detailers doing interior car cleaning use a combination of vacuum cleaners, steam cleaners, rug, carpet and upholstery shampoos, brushes and cleaning agents to get rid of debris, loose and ground in dirt on seats, mats and carpeting, stains on, under and between the seats and on door panels and dirt and smudges on windows and other surfaces. Then we use products to protect the entire interior, add a shine to the surfaces and deodorize the cabin with a pleasing scent.

​2. Exterior Detail
When it comes to exterior car detailing, San Luis Obispo has professionals like SMV Mobile Detailing with the tools, training, products, experience and expertise to detail cars and leave them looking like new. Your San Luis Obispo auto detailing experts not only preform a high-powered wash of the body and undercarriage to remove caked on dirt and grime, they also thoroughly hand wash the body with a mild soap. A good automotive detailer makes sure it's completely dry, then removes any traces of soap scum, watermarks and overspray using a clay bar. We seal snd shine our clients cars in order to bolster and enhance the appearance and protection of its paint job and clear coat. A sealant is then applied to give the vehicle a glossy shine.​

3. Ceramic Coating 
Another crucial process our San Luis Obispo auto detailing specialists perform on cars we detail is putting on a ceramic coating. The process protects and enhances all exterior painted surfaces. It keeps cars cleaner longer, make them easier to wash and protects the paint job against UV damage and chemical stains. Plus, it enhances the paint job's gloss. Ceramic coating gives car owners the peace of mind of knowing their vehicle's painted exterior surfaces are protected from environmental contaminants. Plus, it's a more permanent solution than wax for improving a car's appearance. A liquid polymer applied by hand, ceramic coatings form a near permanent bond with your car's factory paint and does not break down and wash away for years

4. Paint Correction
An important part of the professional car detailing that your local San Luis Obispo auto detailers specialize in, is paint correction. This process calls for applying a small amount of abrasive polish and working it into areas on the car's exterior from which oxidation, haze, scratches, buffer trails, swirl marks, etching from bird dropping and acid rain and other surface imperfections need to be removed. Effective paint correction requires the removal of a little of the paint and clear coat to smoothen the car's exterior surface. Polishes in a range of textures and grades are then applied to rejuvenate the vehicle's paint job, refine the finish and restore it to showroom quality.​

​5. Headlight Restoration
Instead of settling for a car wash, San Luis Obispo car owners can have the increased safety of a headlight restoration when they use a car detail service. Over time, oxidation caused by the sun's UV rays, exposure to caustic chemicals, rain, stones, sand and other types of abrasive road debris and environmental factors can make the lenses of a vehicle's headlight become dull, discolored and degraded. SMV Mobile Detailing and other good car detail companies refinish and restore aged automobile headlight lenses and make them look great in daylight and function like new at night.
​

Potential Safety Issue
Headlight restoration is a safety issue not just a cosmetic one. It's difficult for drivers to see and cars be seen at night with dim headlights. Left untreated, old headlights develop small cracks on their surface called crazing. A headlight's light output and effectiveness is measured in lux. Old headlights have significantly reduced lux. Doing headlight restoration while detailing cars can restore cloudy, hazy, headlights to pristine condition for far less than it would cost to replace them. Plus, this 'greener' process extends the headlight assembly's usable life.
