Contrary to the literal meaning of the word ‘detailing’, car detailing actually means the act of thorough cleaning and conditioning of the vehicle both interiorly and exteriorly in order to protect and preserve the fresh look. This detailing is not only for cars but also SUVs, boats, RVs and trucks like at Vardens. Below you will see our 10 Amazing Benefits of Getting Your Car Detailed.
Cars go through a lot on a daily basis. From muddy, rain filled roads to dusty tracks. Spraying the car with a hose once a month is not enough, your car needs proper care and cleaning and you just might still be able to maintain it after a number of years. Here are a few benefits of getting your car detailed by a professional.
1. It is healthier for you
Your car’s interior is probably one of the messiest places even if you try to clean it yourself often. It is comfortable for bugs to infest and for bacteria to thrive on. Even if you are a germaphobe and always make sure you wear your gloves, you are still not safe from them as they are present even on your seat and no amount of simple spray will help. Getting the hidden areas and seat covers steam cleaned is a great option. The steam should also reach under the carpets and the vents to ensure maximum safety. Germs and pests should be taken care of otherwise they can spread harmful diseases and also trigger asthma among other ailments.
2. Your Safety Comes First
Getting your headlights and windshields cleaned often should be considered a form of religious self-care. Joke’s apart, clean windshields, headlights and wipers allow you to see well especially at night or during rain or sandstorms. Not only that but dirt free brakes allow you to have more control of the car that can be useful driving on roads covered with snow and frankly speaking, a clean and shiny car looks a thousand times better.
3. A Better performing engine
Automotive professionals and experts agree that an engine filled with dirt, dust and gunk can never perform well and dirt has to be one of the main causes for engine wear and failure. The dirt particles not only clog air fillers but can make the entire engine wear out. Car detailing includes getting rid of your engines gunk and dirt including the sticky oil residue that tends to hold in more dust. Not only does it save your engine but also allows it to perform better as well.
4. Economical
Car detailing might seem at first just another way to put your money down the drain again but it is actually saving you quite a lot of money. If you get the car’s exterior detailed you preserve its outer aesthetics and protect it so you don’t end up spending all your money in trying to get It repainted. Getting the upholstery and the carpets detailed allows them to be used for a much longer time without wearing away.
5. Your own peace of mind
A fully detailed car is in top condition. It’s clean not only from the inside but also from the outside. Once you finally get the detailing done after months of stalling it, it gives you a sense of peace and calm.
6. Thorough Examination
When you send your car for detailing it is first thoroughly examined. The professionals do not treat your car for something it does not need but focus more on the areas where it should get the work like dent repair, rust protection, odor elimination etc. During the examination the professionals might even find problems you never knew existed. So detailing is just like a thorough test to make sure everything is perfect.
7. The car looks much better
You spent so much of your money into getting yourself the car you wanted for so long, don’t let the money go to waste. The car will slowly start to lose its shine and luster and will not regain it even with a weekly car wash but with auto detailing you can get the same shine back. Any stains, dents, smears and scratches are removed carefully and the car is carefully and chemically treated and repainted to restore its original allure.
8. Higher Resale Value
Minor scratches can really bring the value of your car down. If you are trying to sell a car and also want your due profit on it, you might want to contact an auto detailer who will get rid of the imperfections and restore the cars functionality and design to its original peak.
9. Rust Free
Your car starts rusting after a few years no matter how careful you are. Car detailing professionals treat your car with a protective coating to keep it rust resistant for a long time.
10. Saves Time
You don’t have to spend money on getting the right tools and products to do it yourself. Letting a professional take care of your car saves your time, money and gives your car the professional touch it needs.
