It’s really amazing how our world has changed thanks to the ford assembly line which not only created a new manufacturing industry with full time forty hour work weeks, but also an affordable automobile. Now practically every American has an automobile and as we use our cars, trucks, boats and other vehicles to get from place to place a proper wash may be a service needing to be done. Washing cars has many different options from fundraiser car washes to automatic car washes to proper full service hand car washes and auto detailing.
The most popular option has been the automatic car washes or tunnel wash systems where the vehicle is either driven through or put on a conveyor system and pulled through the tunnel where there may be some physical prep performed by humans scrubbing bugs and other harder to remove debris with a brush before the vehicle enters the wash tunnel. In the wash tunnel the vehicle will be exposed to often caustic soap contaminated brushes and towels which leave swirls and other clear coat damage requiring the extended attention of an auto detailer in performing a proper paint correction service.
What is the difference between a car wash an auto detailing with a mechanical car wash aside from the damage that is occurring, the level of detail is not there as well. A proper car detailing service should include many of the following items.
