Best Automotive Detailing
1. Hand Washing
Hand washing is greatly preferred over automatic car washing for several reasons. First, most automatic car washing locations use cheap equipment to stock their machines, and over weeks of washing several cars per day, that equipment gets worn.
Brushes accumulate dirt and mud particles from previous washes and scrubbers get rough and scratchy. This means that instead of cleanly removing the dirt and particles from your car’s surface, many of these tools are in effect grinding them into your car like sandpaper.
Coupled with the typically cheap cleaning products many of them use, minor damage can occur and accrue over time, causing long-term harm of your vehicle’s appearance. This is why we recommend a gentle, but thorough, hand washing that ensures the grit and dirt is washed off your vehicle, not pushed into it
2. Intensive Cleaning of Tires, Wheels, and Wheel Wells
It makes sense that wheels, tires, and wheel well cleaning services are some of the most commonly mentioned detailing steps. You don’t need a sporty car to get attention, you just need sporty–or eye catching–wheels. Something about a freshly detailed set of wheels catches the eye and perfectly completes the look of a glossy washed car.
Here’s the rule of thumb for keeping these things looking great. The longer you go without cleaning them the harder it’ll be to bring them back to life. It can be done, it just takes more elbow grease and time.
The good news is once you get them back in shape, keeping them that way will be easily fit into your detailing routine. Although they’ll get dirtier faster than the rest of the car. Because, well, they’re on the ground…
Joking aside, keeping your tires, wheels, and wheel wells clean is important because if left alone, they will become permanently scarred by the build-up of corrosive substances like brake dust, rail dust, tar, and so on. This is a shame because it’s very avoidable. Treating tires, wheels, and wheel wells involves thorough cleaning, treating, and dressing.

7. Application of High Quality Durable Carnauba Wax
Aside from giving your car a high gloss finish that makes it look beautiful on the road, it reduces water spots from forming and protects your car from sun damage. Here in Birmingham, it can rain quite frequently. Mud can splash up against the car as you drive after a rain, as well as those water spots forming like we just mentioned. With a good periodic wax, your car will last better between details.
8. Cleaning & Polishing of all Chrome, Wheels, & Exhaust tips
All chrome will be cleaned and polished, including chrome bumpers, wheels, and exhaust tips. All car badges will be carefully cleaned with small brushes and then polished to a shine before being protected with a sealant or coat of wax
