Nothing sparkles quite like a brand new car. You got your dream car from the dealer, and now you’re passionate about keeping it looking new for as long as possible. It’s almost unthinkable that a new car is actually not clean. Here’s why detailing is needed even for new cars.
Benefits of car detailing
As part of routine vehicle maintenance, interior and exterior detailing protect your car’s value. Also, it prevents rusting, which can take place early on in certain climates. For a sleek, polished look, exterior detailing keeps paint looking fresh and new. Many people feel great after their cars are detailed, so this personal value is a big plus.
Professional vs. DIY
The benefits of using a professional detailing service outnumber the cost savings of doing it yourself at home. Instead of spending time and money unnecessarily, invest in a professional service that uses fewer chemicals, sprays, and products that you don’t have to store at home. There is no risk of using the wrong cleaning product on a particular material (e.g., rubber tires, leather interior, cloth interior, exterior paint, etc.). Invest in yourself by using your time wisely and let the pros do the cleaning, which also reduces your risk of doing it wrong or not getting all the dirt and dust the first time.
What Dealership Don’t Do
It may be surprising, but dealerships don’t deliver to you a 100% clean and detailed car. New cars come with dust, such as dust from truck or train delivery, dust from solvents used to assemble or manufacture the vehicle, and interior dust from people test driving the vehicle.
Also, there is residue from protective tapes or films on the interior and exterior of the car. Before you receive your car, dealers wash it and polish it, but these cleaners can leave residues based on which strong chemicals are used. Also, on the exterior, tires collect dust and debris from test driving and moving the car in the lot.
Used car dealerships will do basic detailing that includes vacuuming, strong chemical cleaners to remove stains, dirt, and dust. However, new car dealerships focus on giving you a car that is shiny on the inside and out. When choosing a new car over a used car, you will spend less time, energy, and money cleaning, dusting, and washing.
Detailing provides many protections to new cars. They are vulnerable to the environment, such as pollen, grass clippings, and snow. Also, your car is vulnerable to UV rays, debris, fallout, dust, and various things you encounter while driving on the road. A paint sealant will provide long-term protection, not your topcoat.
Interior conditioning elongates the life of the interior cloth or leather of your car. It strengthens the material to withstand usage, and it minimizes scratches and cracks.
Costs
The typical cost of detailing a new car depends on the size of the car. For anywhere from $50 to $150, you can detail a new car that requires basic dust and dirt removal. Simply avoid going to a dealership for the detailing, and you should get a good price.
The cost varies depending on the size of the car because it takes more time to detail a larger vehicle, such as an SUV. Comparatively, a used car takes an average of four hours to fully detail. Although it won’t require stain removal or deep cleaning, most businesses have a range of prices, so be sure to ask first.
