Auto Detailing Questions | What is automotive detailing?

The general definition of Auto Detailing is an extremely thorough cleaning of your vehicle. It’s usually more than a wash, wax & vacuum, though most detailers will offer this bare bones service. Your detailer should be able to offer to remove any hard water spotting that does not come off when you wash the car, & remove other contaminants such as paint overspray, industrial fallout, tar, tree sap & light cement. They will also likely be willing to polish out scratches or scuffs that have not gone completely through your clear coat (the clear protective paint covering the colored paint of your vehicle). They are also likely to be able to deal with mold, mildew, crayon melted in the carpeting, construction style dirt, sand, pet hair & red drink stains. Obviously to varying degrees of success, depending on the amount of actual damage involved in your particular case, as well as their experience & equipment, techniques & solutions used.

Other services they are likely to be able to offer are window tinting, pin striping, paint chip repair, paintless dent repair, headliner replacement, & upholstery repair.

Even if your detailer does not offer the particular service you are looking for, if it has to do with the appearance of your vehicle and they have been in the business for a reasonable amount of time, they are likely to be able to point you in the right direction.
