Frequently asked questions
What is Car Detailing?
Car detailing is a thorough and comprehensive cleaning and restoration process for both the interior and exterior of a vehicle. The goal of car detailing is to enhance and preserve a vehicle's appearance, protect its surfaces, and improve overall cleanliness. Unlike a standard car wash, which primarily focuses on removing surface dirt, detailing involves more intricate and meticulous cleaning, often including restoration and protection processes.
How often should I get my car detailed?
There are different levels of car detailing, some are needed much more reguarly, where as some are needed less frequent. For example, we offer a maintenance package where customers have their vehicles deep cleaned inside and out on a weekly/monthly basis; this helps keep on top of any dirt build up. We also offer a protection package where we strip back any protection, treat the cars paint and seal this in with a long term wax or sealant - this may only need to be done approx 1-2 times a year.
What's the difference between car detailing & a local car wash?
Whilst both car detailing and your local car wash removes dirt and grime, there is a clear difference in attention to detail.
Local car washes often use acidic, non pH neutral products, that can scratch paint due to their high pressure guns, offer little or no paint protection and want to get the job done as quick as possible.
Whereas here at Revive Detailing we use pH neutral products as often as possible, use the correct water pressure to ensure a safe wash, use trusted methods such as the two bucket method for our contact washes, offer paint enhancement and protection and we take the time we need to achieve a high level cleanliness and finish.
How Long does a car detailing service take?
Different services take different amounts of time to complete, please contact us for more information.
What products do you use & are they safe for my vehicle?
We use a wide variety of products depending on what package you go for. All of our pre wash solutions and shampoo's are pH netural to help protect the vehicles paint.
We may need to use harsher products to remove any tough grime or stains on your cars exterior or interior, this can include things such as an iron fallout remover for wheels and tar remover for stubborn tar/glue spots. In these instances we are very careful when applying these sorts of products.
We reguarly research best practices for car detailing such as the safest products to use, using a two bucket method for contact washes and using car dryers instead of towels where possible. We also often go on refresher courses to keep up with safe practices.
