Car detailing and polishing are processes of cleaning, restoring, and protecting a vehicle’s exterior and interior surfaces. It involves thorough cleaning of the car’s body, wheels, tires, interiors, and engine components.
The process of detailing includes washing and drying the car, removing any contaminants like tar or bugs from the surface, applying a clay bar to remove embedded particles, polishing to remove any swirl marks or scratches, applying wax or sealant for protection and shine.
Polishing, on the other hand, is a process where a polishing compound is applied to the paint surface to remove small scratches, oxidized paint, and restore the shine. It involves using various polishing pads and techniques to achieve the desired result.
Both car detailing and polishing help maintain the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal, protect it from environmental factors, and extend its lifespan. While detailing can be done by anyone with proper equipment and skills, polishing requires experience and expertise to avoid damaging the vehicle’s paintwork.
