A Auto Detail Service begins with the ENGINE compartment. Degreasing and then pressure washing all the dust, dirt, grease and grime away from all the surfaces. Next, a water base, non-greasy, dressing is applied to all the rubber and plastic parts to make them look like new. The dressing will be applied unless you request for this procedure not to be done.
After cleaning the engine we do the Tires, Wheels, and Wheel wells. A Auto Detail uses special cleaners to accomidate all types of wheel surfaces so as not to damage the many types of different materials.
We can also apply a Teflon Sealant to the wheels that not only makes them easier to rinse off, but offers some protection from the costly and irreversible spotting from Magnesium Choride. This is an additional service and costs a little extra.
Next, we Hand Wash the Exterior of the vehicle. During this process we clean the door and trunk jambs, the moldings, and weather-stripping.
Now the Magic begins. Starting with your INTERIOR. A Auto Detail is meticulous in this area as to not damage any materials or electronics! This is important because of the amount of water some other shops may use can get into areas that may cause your vehicle problems long after it has left the detail bay. Alot of other shops Charge You Less and pay their help a lot less on Interiors because they can be blasted with water and dressings, vacuumed and wiped down and they are done in short order and less time. We feel that with all the dirt and mud from the harsh Colorado Seasons, that this aspect of the vehicle is at least as important as the Exterior to our customers because that's where You ride. Besides, we wouldn't want all that water and silicone in our cars! We want to treat your vehicle the same as we do our own. We think this is worth a little more. We also do not use any fragrances unless requested (see Odor Elimination ) because they can affect allergies and/or be offensive to some people . We prefer to leave your car smelling fresh and clean.
First we carefully clean the headliner, posts, visors, vanity mirrors and seat belt
holders. This includes TV screens, DVD, VCR and other electronics.
Next we Vacuum, then Shampoo AND Fresh Water Extract (To remove soap residue that
will leave it stiff or sticky, and attracts dirt ) all Fabric seats, door panels, carpets and mats .
Then all the plastic and vinyl is cleaned (ALL Leather is cleaned using a Non-Alkaline, pH
Balanced Cleaner).
Finally the Dashboard, Instrument panel (NO water is put directly onto gauges) air vents,
ashtrays, cup holders, cubby holes and console. Trunk, Glovebox, and all other
compartments are always cleaned as long as they are empty.
Note: dressings are only applied to plastic and vinyl upon request because the silicones can and
will damage those materials. We use only Non Alkaline, Silicone Free, pH Balanced
conditioners on ALL Leather.
The final area of concentration is the EXTERIOR. This is where we "Shine". Ha Ha. A Auto Detail Service is known as
