The Process Of Auto Detailing St Louis

By Anthony Brown


There are numerous people who pride in their possession of vehicles. Washing cars is one of the ways to keep them neat and tidy. In many cases however, ordinary washing cannot take a car to its initial condition. This will call for what is called detailing which is thorough cleaning. It leaves a car spotless, in some cases even cleaner than it was originally. In consideration of auto detailing St Louis drivers and car owners need to appreciate what it involves.

There are various aspects involved in this procedure and different tools are needed. Some of the tools include air compressor machines, foaming pads, high pressure pad, window cleaning solution among others. Mats are one of the parts of a vehicle targeted when detailing. The tools needed for this are a high-pressure hose and vacuum cleaner. They are removed and vacuumed from top to bottom.

In the event that mats have stains that are very stubborn and lots of dust that has accumulated over time, they need to be sprayed using high-pressure hose. In case they are made from rubber, they can be sprayed down using water and dried using hands. Upholstery and carpets are cleaned using shampoos, gloves and sponges. They will need to be vacuumed well. In order to reach hidden corners, seats are slid all the way forward and back. If there are any stains, shampoo gets applied using sponges to remove the dirt.

The dashboard and vents will need patience and some skill to be cleaned effectively. Dust gets to almost all parts of a car but when it gets to corners that are hidden and thus not easily reached, it becomes cumbersome. These are best cleaned using compressed air. In the case of dashboard that is made of leather, you have to use leather protector that leaves with a shiny appearance.

In order to have seats cleaned, tools used are vacuum cleaner, wet-vac machine and shampoo. General cleaning materials are also used. The way seats are cleaned highly depends on what material they are fabricated from. In the case of nylon seats, they can be shampooed, which is done using wet-vac extraction machine that removes dirt from it. Thereafter, the seats still need to be vacuumed since some dirt might have loosened during shampooing. Leather seats are best cleaned using leather cleaners.

Tyres can seem difficult to clean but through a methodical approach, this is easily done. The rims are sprayed using non-acid wheel cleaner and washed after 30 seconds. It is not likely that all dirt can be removed in that way, which is why you have to go over the wheels using brushes and sponges. The rubber can be made to shine using Armor All.

The body of a vehicle also undergoes proper cleaning. This will require that you have polish and foaming pad. A small amount of polish is applied to a foaming pad after which the car is covered with overlapping strokes. It then gets wiped with cloth. This is best done in the shade so that polish does not dry on it.

Detailing can either be done professionally or individually. In many cases though, it is best done professionals. It is them that have the skills and tools needed.
