Elements of Auto Detailing

Roy H. McIntyre has worked in car detailing since 2001. In 2003, Roy H. McIntyre founded Delaware Detailing and Cleaning Services Inc., which began as an auto detailing company and has since expanded to include other professional maintenance services.
A complete car detailing service should remove built-up dirt from both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Customers searching for a car detailer need to look for a company that cleans the undercarriage, chassis, and other areas that are not immediately visible, as these can become corroded over time.
Visible areas should receive careful consideration, particularly when paint or finish is involved. A special product known as a clay bar can remove debris that has become embedded in the paint coating. If this occurs, the detailing professional will need to polish and reseal the paint to guard against additional contaminants.
The detailing service should also address all small crevices, cup holders, and other places where dirt can collect. This typically requires removal of large items, such as pens or coins, followed by vacuuming and finally cleaning with glass or plastic cleaner and a clean cloth. Smaller areas such as vent openings may require precision tools, such as small brushes and cotton swabs, and deep cleaning products should be used on all areas such as carpets and seating surfaces.
