INTERIOR DETAILING
At Full Auto Recon our Interior detailing refers to the thorough and meticulous cleaning and restoration of the interior surfaces and components of a vehicle. It is a specialized process that involves cleaning, conditioning, and protecting various interior parts to maintain or restore the vehicle’s aesthetic appearance and functionality.
Our Interior Detailing Packages can include:
Vacuuming: The process begins with vacuuming the entire interior to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris from the carpets, upholstery, and crevices.
Cleaning Surfaces: Different interior surfaces, such as dashboard, door panels, center console, and steering wheel, are cleaned using appropriate cleaners to remove stains, grime, and fingerprints.
Upholstery and Carpet Cleaning: Special attention is given to cleaning fabric or leather seats and carpets to remove stains, spills, and odors. Depending on the material, various cleaning techniques like steam cleaning or using specific upholstery cleaners may be used.
Glass Cleaning: Interior windows and mirrors are cleaned to ensure a streak-free and clear view.
Leather Conditioning: If the vehicle has leather seats or interior trim, a leather conditioner is applied to keep the leather supple and prevent it from cracking.
Plastic and Vinyl Restoration: Special products are used to restore the appearance of plastic and vinyl surfaces, ensuring they look fresh and rejuvenated.
Odor Removal: If there are any unpleasant odors in the vehicle, an odor remover or deodorizer may be used to neutralize the smell.
Detailing Crevices: Detailers pay attention to the small, hard-to-reach areas like air vents, buttons, and seams, ensuring they are thoroughly cleaned and free from dust and dirt.
Protective Coatings: Some detailers may apply protective coatings on certain interior surfaces, like the dashboard or trim, to help guard against UV damage and fading.
Final Touches: After completing all the cleaning and restoration, the interior is carefully inspected for any missed spots or imperfections.
Interior detailing is a significant aspect of overall vehicle maintenance and care. By keeping the interior clean and well-maintained, you not only enhance the driving experience but also extend the longevity of the interior materials, which can positively impact the vehicle’s resale value.
EXTERIOR DETAILING
We offer many Exterior detailing services to choose from! Exterior Detailing refers to the comprehensive cleaning, restoration, and protection of the external surfaces of a vehicle. It involves thorough cleaning and careful treatment of various exterior components to improve the vehicle’s appearance and protect it from environmental elements. Exterior detailing can be performed by professional detailers or done by vehicle owners themselves.
Here are the key steps involved in exterior detailing:
Washing: The process begins with a thorough hand wash of the entire exterior using specialized automotive shampoo or soap. This step helps remove dirt, mud, road grime, and other contaminants from the surface.
Drying: After washing, the vehicle is dried using microfiber towels or air blowers to prevent water spots and streaks.
Clay Bar Treatment: A clay bar is used to remove embedded contaminants like tar, tree sap, industrial fallout, and overspray from the paint surface. It leaves the paint smooth and ready for further treatment.
Paint Correction: This step involves removing swirl marks, light scratches, and other imperfections from the paint through techniques like machine polishing. It helps restore the paint’s shine and clarity.
Polishing: If the paint has minor imperfections, a polishing compound is applied to further refine the finish and enhance the paint’s gloss.
Waxing or Sealing: A wax or paint sealant is applied to protect the paint from UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants. This step also gives the vehicle a glossy and hydrophobic finish.
Trim and Plastic Restoration: Faded or discolored plastic and rubber trims, such as bumpers, moldings, and door handles, are restored using specialized products to bring back their original appearance.
Wheel and Tire Cleaning: The wheels and tires are cleaned and degreased to remove brake dust, grime, and road debris. Tire dressing is applied to give the tires a rich, dark appearance.
Glass Cleaning: Exterior windows and mirrors are cleaned to ensure visibility and safety while driving.
Final Touches: After completing the detailing process, the vehicle is thoroughly inspected to ensure that all areas are clean, and the desired results have been achieved.
Exterior detailing not only enhances the vehicle’s overall appearance but also protects the paint and other external components from premature wear and damage. Regular exterior detailing can help maintain the resale value of the vehicle and ensure that it looks its best for years to come.
