San Diego car detailers are often surrounded by myths. Some myths can be funny while others are confusing. Let’s get the facts straight – learn more?
Myth #1: Waxing, polishing and waxing are all the same.
No, you’re not even close. Waxing works like sunscreen, protecting your paint from harmful UV and other elements. Polishing on the other hand is more like exfoliating, as it removes minor blemishes and swirls. You can think of polishing and waxing as adding a surface shield.
Myth 2 – Hand washing is always better than automatic car washes
This one can be a little difficult. Correctly washing your hands can make it gentler. Let’s be honest, how many do it correctly? The use of dirty sponges, or soaps that are too harsh can be harmful. Modern automatic car washes are equipped with high quality detergents, soft brushes and other features that reduce damage.
Myth No. 3: Dish Soap works just fine to wash cars
Detailers are sure to cringe at this one. Dish soap cuts through grease. It strips the wax coatings on your paint. Use car-specific products if you do not want your vehicle to appear duller than dishwater.
Myth No. 4: You need to detail your vehicle only once a year
Rethink! Detailing may be needed every few months depending on the frequency of your driving and where you choose to park. Regular maintenance keeps the vehicle looking good and increases its value.
Myth 5: New Cars Don’t Need Detailing
Detailing benefits even brand-new vehicles. Factory paintwork often has imperfections that require correction. Plus, applying protection early can save headaches.
