Car Detailing on Wheels: How it Works, Perks and Potential Pitfalls
Riffat (say: “ree-faht”) sits at the wheel of her gleaming silver Audi, giving a wave to our reporter. She holds up her cell phone, takes a picture and then sends it, via SMS (text message, go figure) back to the US. “Got the picture?” she asks.
Many Americans have experienced this sort of procedure, but fewer still actually know how it works or what it does to their car. This is the story of a detail broski with a laptop computer in hand and a transmitter on every wall of his car. Let’s take you into his world with an in-depth interview.
It’s amazing to think: thanks to mobile detailing, you can have your car cleaned without even lifting a finger. While you enjoy ‘the best cup of coffee in the morning?, expert workmen swarm around your vehicle, armed with instruments and potions from a wizard’s laboratory.
Some folk still think detailing is merely a highfalutin word for car washing. Not at all. It’s like upgrading from a quick hose-off in the backyard to the spa-iest spa in town for the day. This means vacuuming, waxing, polishing-anything and everything that it takes to get every scratch and smudge off your car. It’s the sort of attention that turns even the faintest inkling of a blemish into nothing but a distant memory.
Scared about the cost? Do it this way instead: You’re not just spending you’re investing. A car fixed up both looks better and keeps its value longer. It’s like giving your car a piggy bank makeover-hefile:///C:/Users/Administrator/AppData/Roaming/ist_cash this means less ka-chang when that day comes to sell. Take Lara, for example. She’s one of those people who let their car get so dirty they could have started a farm with all the old crumbs and bits of crisps lying around. “I could have fed a whole family on the crumbs,”, she laughs. But each time she’d have the car detailed, the twinkle in her eyes would match the shine of her car.
Don’t forget the health angle. All those crumbs don’t just look messy-they’re breeding grounds for germs and allergens. That clean-up can turn your car into a place of greater health, saving you snortles and sneezing fits.
In short, mobile detailing isn’t just about what works on camera. It’s all connected with cleaning, be it exterior or interior. So the next time you catch your car giving you the evil eye, remember the heady delights of mobile car detailing. If your car could talk, it’d be crying for its next spa day by now.
