Professional Car Detailing is simply just a glorified Car Wash, right? It’s a job you can leave for your partner or kids to keep them busy on the weekends. If all else fails, it’s something the auto car cleaners down the road can handle, or maybe it just doesn’t need to be done at all?
I mean, if the wheels are spinning, and the dashboard isn’t presenting a lightshow of warning signs and symbols, what else is there to worry about?
These are the most common opinions of vehicle owners, now let’s look at the facts…
Your car and everyone else’s you see on the road is a constantly depreciating asset, burning hundreds if not thousands of dollars away per year. So, if you had the chance to slow that process as much as possible, wouldn’t you take it? Cheaper, inexpensive car wash services might feel like the answer, but they are cheaper for a reason. The low-cost car shampoos, glass cleaners, and carpet restorers that are offered simply don’t get the job done when looking to apply lasting protection and deep cleans, and in some cases, will leave your vehicle worse off than before. Even with the best car cleaning products being used, lazy and improper techniques will simply leave the vehicle covered in swirls and spots, so if you ever see a broomstick being used to clean the car exterior, run for the hills! This is where professional detailing differs, because you can trust that high quality products and equipment are being used to help your car look and feel as good as possible, and by someone with experience.
Will you be paying more? Yes. Is there a high chance you will increase the resell value of your vehicle by hundreds to thousands of dollars? Yes.
Many vehicle owners are hesitant to spend their earnings on maintaining their car, but it is easy to forget that it is more that investing in our vehicle’s care means investing in ourselves. By simply servicing your vehicle with one Exterior and Interior detail per month, you are helping to preserve a variety of components throughout your car would otherwise result in costly replacements later. You can take this a step further by servicing regular engine bay cleaning to keep everything under the hood running well. On top of that, constant maintenance of your car can potentially add 15% more value when it comes to selling, compared to if you hadn’t. That’s potentially thousands to spend on groceries, holidays, or to simply more to put towards an upgraded vehicle. This means that in some cases, detailing services may even pay for themselves because it is earnt back on the increased resell value!
Still not convinced? How else can detailing improve your life?
If the money in your pocket isn’t the most important thing to you, there’s a good chance your time is, and Mobile Detailing can help with that as well. Rather than driving yourself to the local car wash, spending time waiting around and spending more money on unnecessary things while you wait, we come to you. This way, you don’t have to leave the comfort of your own home, and can spend your hours how you want, with the people you want. It also means you don’t have the hassle of cleaning several vehicles by yourself, so you can spend money on things you love instead of hundreds on a vacuum, pressure washer, steam cleaner, spot cleaner, and countless other cleaning products, on top of the all the purchases made to keep our homes maintained.
That raises the question, why is it that we invest so heavily in the cleanliness of our homes rather than our vehicles though?
Imagine you are having your partner’s parents over to your home for the first time, how are you preparing? If your first thoughts were of yourself running from room to room in a cleaning frenzy and a state of panic, you wouldn’t be the first. We care so deeply about the quality of our living situation, our health, and our ability to accommodate for our friends and family. So, why should it be any different for our vehicles? A typical car interior contains a shocking amount of bacteria, from old food crumbs and liquid spills that have travelled down the side of the seats, to common sweat and germs that we carry with us throughout our usual daily travel, and when pet hair and drool are thrown into the mix, your vehicle can become unrecognizable! We are all guilty and aware of our car’s condition, and yet we don’t feel the same urgency to keep it at a healthy and accommodating level for ourselves and our guests, even though it’s so much more obvious and confined.
Whether it’s to save a couple extra thousands dollars over the years, the countless hours you will gain to spend living your life doings things you actually enjoy, preserving the comfort and health of your friends and family, or just looking good on the road, there’s a lot professional mobile detailing has to offer you, and it’s never been easier to take the next step.
Standards are Rising, Make sure they are Mint Condition.
