The Edmonton Auto Detailing Industry

By Michael Williams


Auto detailing refers to the process of performing a thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of an automobile. These functions are performed on both the inside and outside the vehicle so as to attain a show-quality degree of detail. Edmonton auto detailing companies and professionals are highly qualified and experienced in this job. They achieve excellent results within a short time and charge affordable rates.

In locations where automobiles are the main transport means, auto detailing often has a big commercial presence. In the US alone, the industry is worth more than 9 million US Dollars. The global industry is much larger than this. Millions are employed in this industry to do different jobs. The size of this industry in a country often determines the size of the employee pool working in it.

There are two categories of vehicle detailing, that is, exterior and interior, which is also known as cabin detail. Specific products and services are suited for each of the categories. The exterior variety of this process deals with cleaning and restoring the external surface of a car. Professionals do this process so well that the surface appears to be in a better condition than that of a new car.

The exterior version of this process deals with cleaning and restoring external parts such as tires, wheels, chrome trim, the body, and windows among exterior parts of the vehicle. There is a wide range of techniques and products used to do this job. The kind of products and techniques used are determined by various factors. Some of these factors include surface condition, preferences of the detailer, and the surface type. Some examples of products used include acid-free degreasers, detail clay, waxes, polishes, detergents, brake fluid, drying towels, and brushes.

On the contrary, interior detailing is the cleaning of the inside of a vehicle deeply. The interior is usually made of different parts made from different materials such as carbon fiber composites, natural fibers, plastics, leather, synthetic carpet upholstery, and vinyl. Different products and techniques are used to clean of the different materials. Dust is often removed using brushes. Commonly used cleaning techniques are steam cleaning, use of foam and liquid chemicals, and vacuuming.

The process entails several sub-steps, including waxing. Waxing is important for several reasons. First, it deposits a protective layer over the paint of the vehicle. This protective layer makes regular repainting not necessary. The layer also makes the vehicle look glossy and shiny. Therefore, the car looks much better after being waxed than it did before.

Since waxing helps to preserve the paint, eliminating the need for repainting, it saves money. Detailing also helps to restore the car to near-new condition. Driving a car that looks new brings with it a feeling of satisfaction. Also, the car will appear more comfortable.

Lastly, this process has the ability to boost the resale value of a vehicle greatly. When the process is done professionally, the value of a car will be improved when it is sold. Such cars fetch higher prices compared to ones that have not had the process done.
