DETAILING VS CAR WASHES: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Many people may not know the differences between car washes, and car detailing. Your automatic car washes are a "universal" fit, if you will. Where detailing is tailored to your specific vehicle, catering to is finest  details. What's the BIGGEST difference? The LEVEL of care. Car Washes use cloth strips, with abrasive qualities. These cloth strips hold debris, mud, and grit from all the vehicles before yours. The cloth strips and debris act like sandpaper. Dragging across your paint, leaving behind swirls, scratches and marring. Not to mention the potential to exposure to harsh chemicals. High PH or Acidic soaps can be used to cut through grime. Stripping away protection and leaving your paint exposed. You may also notice the areas that get missed, EVERY time. Back windows, tailgates, wheels, tires and wheel arches, windshields, bugs, around roof racks, mirrors, and handles. Detailing services are tailored to your cars specific surfaces (like soft tops, delicate surfaces, ceramic coatings, matte finishes, vinyl wraps, etc.) Many car washes also recycle water to save costs. Running the potential of containing left over minerals, chemicals, etc.
