Auto detailing

The fundamental detail options include an exterior wash and wax, interior vacuuming, window cleaning, and surface polishing.

[2] Detailing is more than a cleaning process to make a vehicle look good; it is a systematic approach to help extend its life with methods and products that reduce damaging environmental elements such as dirt, sun, harsh winters, etc.

Products include, but are not limited to, detergents, surfactants, acid-free degreasers (to break down dirt and soil), detail clay (to remove invisible micro-embedded surface contaminates), waxes, and silicone-and non-silicone-based dressings for plastic trim and tires.

Buffing compounds and polishes to resurface and improve the reflectivity of the paint finish, as well as a variety of applicators, brushes, and drying towels.

A liquid polymer may also add a protective layer to modern clear-coat automobile paints, making them more resistant to scratches and environmental damage.
