Lets face it, our cars can get reallll dirty. From daily commutes to long road trips, our cars deal with all the dust, dirt, crumbs and everything in between to get us from A to B. But what can we do for our car? We can show it some love by getting it detailed! Not just from some rickety car wash where you exchange quarters for an obnoxiously loud vacuum, but an actual professional detail.

Not sure why you may need this? Well, here are 10 reasons that can help you decide:

1. A Fresh Appearance Looks and Feels Better

In this day and age, it’s harder to get around without being in a vehicle. So, you’d imagine how much better it is if that vehicle was CLEAN! All the filthy spots, dirt, and grime are eliminated completely in a car detail. When you take care of your car by getting it detailed, it clears out any messy distractions and leads to a tidier life.

Being organized and fresh not only helps you attain a classy lifestyle look, according to Sherry Gordon of verywellmind.com it also leads to a more optimistic mood/mental state!

+ it’s tough to invite anyone in your car knowing you still got that old McDonald’s bag and 50 water bottles lying around.

2. Gets RID of Bad Odor

It’s the worse feeling when you get into your car and smell that odor coming from that stain which “randomly appeared”. Even worse is when you know it came from that food that just didn’t sit right with a poor stomach. 

Car detailing use tools such as vacuums, steamers, and extractors which gets down to the root of disgusting odor and eliminates the smell. With these tools and the extra dedication of getting every corner cleaned, that smell is sure to go away!

Maybe you just bought a used car and it was from someone who was a heavy smoker. That smell can get bitter especially in Summer. There are services that use an Ozone Machine to treat cigarette smell and keep that second hand smoke away!

Keeping a clean car even prevents other inevitable odors from sneaking in. Instead of getting another new car air freshener, detailing makes a car feel new.

3. Protects the Interior and Exterior from Future Messes

Wear and tear happens to every car, and when your car is used day-after-day there is debris that embeds itself into the fabric of the car. Those stains eventually become [part] of the car. Detailing adds protectants that repel future spills and can help remove stains as if they were never there! 

As for the exterior, we know that rocks, bugs, and those dirt roads love to blemish the innocent shiny paint. So there are services like paint correction and ceramic coating which not only fixes any car scarring, but protects it from pollutants, fading, scratches, rocks, bird poop, you name it!

The car is able to stay new and protected while preserving it for future cleaning (which will be much more simpler).

4. Detailing Gets into the Hard-to-Reach Places

Well, why can’t I just go to the car wash, grab a vacuum, and do it myself?

You can, nothing’s stopping you!

However, car detailers know the ins and outs of all types of vehicles. They also have the right tools to reach all those pesky places and clean those tough stains that car washes don’t have.

With their knowledge and expertise we not only save you tons of time, but they are masters of the detail and dedicate themselves to leave your car spotless!

5. Cleaning Glass leads to Better Visibility

The main thing you need to do when driving is to SEE! That’s why people slow down when it’s raining hard or have the gleaming sun burning their eyes. 

Dirty windshields and mirrors can affect visibility, but when you get a detail you get that vision back! Detailers use tools and techniques that clear a window up while not leaving any of those streaks that make it difficult to see at night. 

You can also ceramic coat a window to see better while it’s raining!

6. No More Stains!

Stains are everywhere, we get it! That doesn’t make it an easier when you see them in your car every day.

Detailers use techniques and quality equipment to spot treat stains and remove all the gunk and odor from them. For the interior, they may use a steam cleaner and an extractor to really get deep and extract certain stains that are harder to remove. For an exterior, any water spots, dead bugs, or tree sap can be removed with the detailer’s products and careful techniques.

So if you do have a tough stain, contact a detailer and they’ll know how to help you.

7. Eliminates Bacteria making it Healthier

A car is like your own tiny room. And when you invite food, dust, germs, and allergens into it, you’re crowding that tiny room with harmful bacteria! That bacteria can be spread around anywhere you go or to any passengers you have.

With detailing, you don’t have to worry about that. You can breathe easier and be more hygienic when you get that car cleaned. Detailing removes all that accumulated dust, pollen, unexpected mold from vehicles and let’s you drive safer and illness-free!

If you’re worried about how unhealthy a car is you can keep napkins in a car for any spills, sanitizer for your hands, or you can even schedule a monthly detail to keep a clean car environment.

8. Ups the Resell Value

Getting ready to sell? 

How about, according to this article by fortworthautodetailing, getting 10% more from a sale?

When people buy cars, they want to see that someone took care of the car during it’s life or at least got it cleaned up. After a detail, that car may even look new to the buyer instead of used!

So, when you detail a car before it’s sold, you’re gaining money instead of spending it!

9. Increased Car Performance

Normal car washes don’t clean under the hood or around the tires.

They don’t get to an engine which can get real dusty. By removing the grime with an engine bay cleaning, it prevents the engine from overheating and reduces any damage from corrosive materials.

They also don’t get deep into those wheel wells, not like car detailing does. When cars are detailed, break dust and debris is removed off the tires. This helps prolong a tires life by preventing it from degrading. Additionally, detailers add dressing to protect it from environmental factors.

With a car detailing not only does it make those tires POP (clean-wise) and engine shine, it prevents corrosion and cracking saving you lots of $$$.

And to save the best for last:

10. Save Time and Energy

Tired of saying “I need to clean my car” but never actually finding the time to do it? Well, your local detailer may be your solution. 

They spend hours on your car while you sit back and relax, or maybe do another errand/chore (double productivity!) and it gives you time back to do what really needs to be done.

It also can be hard on the body as it is a strenuous physical activity. So, there is caution on car detailing without the proper expertise and routines.
