What's the difference between Interior and Exterior Detailing?
The difference between interior and exterior detailing primarily lies in the areas of the vehicle that each type of service focuses on and the techniques used.
Interior Detailing
- Focus: This service concentrates on cleaning and restoring the inside of the vehicle. It includes tasks such as:
Vacuuming carpets and seats
Wiping down surfaces (dashboards, consoles)
Cleaning and conditioning leather and vinyl
Shampooing carpets and upholstery
Cleaning windows and mirrors inside the vehicle
Exterior Detailing
- Focus: This service is aimed at enhancing and protecting the vehicle's exterior surfaces. It typically involves:
Washing and drying the car's body
Polishing to remove scratches and swirls
Waxing to protect the paint and enhance shine
Cleaning wheels, tires, and wheel wells
Applying sealants or coatings for added protection
Importance of Each
- Interior Detailing ensures a comfortable and pleasant driving experience, especially for those who spend a lot of time in their vehicles.
- Exterior Detailing not only improves the car's appearance but also helps maintain its value by protecting the paint and surfaces from environmental damage.
