When you keep your car clean and shiny, it makes driving more enjoyable. However, sometimes people forget to clean the inside of their cars, which can lead to dirt and grime build-up. That’s where car detailing comes in – it’s a thorough cleaning of both the interior and exterior of the car.
What is Car Detailing
Detailing differs from everyday washing by restoring every inch of a car to showroom new condition using specialized tools and products. This includes
- Paint Correction – Claying, compounding, and polishing the clearcoat finish to glassy perfection.
- Surface Protection – Multiple layers of synthetic sealants and carnauba wax for 6-12 months shine.
- Interior Deep Cleaning – Shampooing, stain removal, and disinfecting all fabrics and touchpoints.
- Exterior Decontamination – Cleaning the outside of a car by gently removing tough dirt like brake dust, tar, and oxidation without damaging the paint.
The car is thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, so much so that it looks almost as clean as a hospital.
Exterior Car Detailing Steps
Step 1: Hand Wash
Step 2: Clay Bar Treatment
Step 3: Cutting Compounds
Step 4: Polishing
Step 5: Paint Protection film
Hand Wash
Each detailing service starts with a pH-neutral soap wash to remove loose dirt. This prevents swirl marks from grit scratching the clearcoat when polishing. Microfiber mitts provide a scratch-free clean.
Clay Bar Treatment
After washing, detailers knead a lubricated synthetic clay bar across all painted surfaces. The clay bonds with and removes embedded contaminants like industrial fallout, tar, and brake dust the wash couldn’t.
Cutting Compound
Next, our professional team applies a buffer. The purpose is to rub the “compound” to the exposed paint. The mild abrasives in compounds level out oxidation damage, water spots, scratches, and swirls.
Polishing
Fine paint polishes go over compounding to clear any hazing and create a flawless high-gloss that reflects images like a mirror.
Paint Protection
The final step in detailing involves applying long-term protective barriers of synthetic paint sealant topped with multiple micro-thin carnauba wax layers. This adds incredible hydrophobic water beading for 6-12 months to keep exteriors looking freshly detailed. This is an important component of car detailing.
Interior Car Detailing Steps
Like our car branding services, our team of professional detailers pays equal attention to cleaning the interiors of vehicles that have been neglected. This includes various services such as cleaning the seats, carpets, and other surfaces inside the vehicle.
- Vacuuming and Shampooing – Using commercial extractors to deep clean carpets and upholstery of ground-in dirt. Deodorizers leave cars smelling new.
- Leather Conditioning – pH-balanced leather cleaners and balms rejuvenate worn, faded seats, removing cracks and keeping hides supple.
- Plastics/Vinyl Dressing – Restoring gloss to faded, matte trim pieces using non-greasy protectants.
- Steam Cleaning – Hot steam under pressure flushes grime from vents and crevices. The purpose is to kill germs and eliminate foul odors.
- Stain Removal – Powerful solvents target and break down troublesome stains around touchpoints.
How Much Does Car Detailing Cost?
Like most services, prices depend largely on your vehicle’s size and chosen package extent. Here, we only tell you about the average prices.
Vehicle Type | Interior Cleaning | Full Detailing |
Small Sedans and Coupes | AED 250 | AED 950 |
Mid-size SUVs and Crossovers | AED 350 | AED 1,250 Average |
Luxury Vehicles | AED 900 | up to AED 3,500+ |
Other pricing factors include:
- Level of Paint Correction – Heavily scratched or oxidized vehicles take longer to compound/polish, hence increasing costs.
- Interior Condition – Cars with pervasive stains, pet hair, or smoker residue increase cleaning difficulty and prices.
Additional services, such as window tinting and painting details.
Benefits of Regular Professional Detailing
Getting your car professionally detailed offers some advantages compared to doing it yourself. While DIY cleaning will remove surface dirt and dust, detailers have specialized tools and products to thoroughly clean at a deeper level. Car detailing provides a deeper, more comprehensive clean for your automobile.
Enhanced Cleaning
Our professional auto detailers use high-powered vacuums to suck up debris, dirt, and dust from every nook and cranny of your car’s interior. They scrub away sticky spills and stains from upholstery and floors. Our team also uses quality shampoo products to clean carpets and mats. This extensive cleaning leaves your car looking and smelling fresh.
Paintwork Protection
Detailers don’t just wash a car’s exterior. They carefully hand polish it to reveal the paintwork’s original shine. High-end waxes and sealants are applied to further enrich the gloss while protecting the finish. This protects against swirl marks, oxidation, and UV damage. Effective paint protection preserves your car’s resale value. Many people ask: what is the best car polish near me? Well, you already know the answer!
Germ Removal
Bacteria, viruses, and molds quickly accumulate in cars from spills, mud, food crumbs, and passenger contact. Our Professional auto detailing uses specialized sanitizers and antimicrobial treatments to kill these germs without harsh chemicals. Ozone generators also help remove stubborn odors safely. This extensive disinfection protects you and your passengers. Remember, auto interior cleaning is very important.
FAQs
Should I clean my car before taking it for detailing
You don’t need to wash your car before bringing it in. Part of the detailing service is thoroughly cleaning the vehicle. In fact, cleaning it first may make the job harder if dried-on dirt and dust get wet and sticky. Just remove any trash and personal items from the car.
Will detailing remove scratches or paint damage
Detailing will make superficial scratches less noticeable but cannot fix deeper scratches or chips in the paint. Ask if paint correction or touch-up services are offered to improve damaged paintwork. Be aware these specialty services cost extra.
How often should I get the detailing done
On average, a standard detail every 3-6 months is recommended to keep your car looking its best. If your car sees heavier use or is often parked outdoors, you may want the “detailing services” more frequently. Getting regular detailing can maintain your car’s appearance and resale value.
Does car detailing include the engine bay
Not always. Many of our detailing packages focus on interior and exterior surfaces only. Engine bay cleaning may be offered as an add-on service. This thorough cleaning degreases and removes built-up dirt from the engine components without damaging electronics.
Can detailing remove pet hair
Vacuuming is an excellent way to remove pet hair from upholstery and carpets. Strong suction power can lift hair out from fabric fibers where brushes can’t reach. If you have a lot of pet hair, you should tell our professional cleaners so that they can use a special process to remove it.
