By Michael Williams


Auto detailing refers to the process of performing a thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of an automobile. These functions are performed on both the inside and outside the vehicle so as to attain a show-quality degree of detail. Edmonton auto detailing companies and professionals are highly qualified and experienced in this job. They achieve excellent results within a short time and charge affordable rates.

In locations where automobiles are the main transport means, auto detailing often has a big commercial presence. In the US alone, the industry is worth more than 9 million US Dollars. The global industry is much larger than this. Millions are employed in this industry to do different jobs. The size of this industry in a country often determines the size of the employee pool working in it.

Detailing of automobiles can be placed into two broad categories, that is, interior also called cabin and exterior. Each category has specific services and products that are used on them. Exterior detailing is concerned with the restoration and cleaning of the surface of a car. The restoration may sometimes be done so that it exceeds the original condition the vehicle was in at the time of purchase.

The exterior version of this process deals with cleaning and restoring external parts such as tires, wheels, chrome trim, the body, and windows among exterior parts of the vehicle. There is a wide range of techniques and products used to do this job. The kind of products and techniques used are determined by various factors. Some of these factors include surface condition, preferences of the detailer, and the surface type. Some examples of products used include acid-free degreasers, detail clay, waxes, polishes, detergents, brake fluid, drying towels, and brushes.

On the other hand, interior detailing involves doing a deep cleaning of interior cabin entirely. Most interiors of automobiles are made of various materials including natural fibers, plastics, carbon fiber composites, leather, vinyl, and synthetic carpet upholstery among others. Each material requires different techniques and products to clean. Brushes are commonly used to remove dust. Common cleaning methods used include steam cleaning, vacuuming, and use of foam and liquid chemicals.

One of the processes the detailers do during this process is to wax the vehicle. Waxing is important because it makes the exterior of the vehicle to look shiny and glossy. Besides that, wax also acts as a protective layer for the paint. Thus, regular waxing keeps the automobile looking good and eliminates the need for repainting.

Since waxing helps to preserve the paint, eliminating the need for repainting, it saves money. Detailing also helps to restore the car to near-new condition. Driving a car that looks new brings with it a feeling of satisfaction. Also, the car will appear more comfortable.

Lastly, this process has the ability to boost the resale value of a vehicle greatly. When the process is done professionally, the value of a car will be improved when it is sold. Such cars fetch higher prices compared to ones that have not had the process done.
