Understanding Edmonton Auto Detailing Industry

By Michael Williams


The process of cleaning, restoring, and finishing an automobile is referred to as auto detailing. These functions are done on the interior as well as the exterior of the vehicle to achieve a show-quality level of detail. Edmonton auto detailing professionals and companies have a high level of experience in this field. They charge reasonable rates and perform an outstanding quality of work. Some maintain company websites through which one can contact them to solicit their help.

In locations where automobiles are the main transport means, auto detailing often has a big commercial presence. In the US alone, the industry is worth more than 9 million US Dollars. The global industry is much larger than this. Millions are employed in this industry to do different jobs. The size of this industry in a country often determines the size of the employee pool working in it.

Interior and exterior detailing are the two main types of this process. The two categories have different products and services that are best suited for them. The exterior version is concerned with the outside of a vehicle and all external components. Doing the process in the right way results in the vehicle looking much nicer and well finished than even a new one.

The exterior process aims to clean and restore external components like tires, wheels, the body, windows, and chrome trim among other exterior parts. This job is done using a wide variety of products and techniques. Various factors determine the kind of technique and product are used. Among the factors are surface condition, surface type, and preferences of a detailer. Examples of products in use are waxes, polishes, detergents, acid-free degreasers, brake fluid, drying towels, brushes, and detail clay.

Conversely, interior detailing is the cleaning and restoration of interior of a vehicle. Different materials are used to make the various parts of the interior of vehicles. Some of these materials are plastics, leather, synthetic carpet upholstery, carbon fiber composites, vinyl, and natural fibers. The diversity of the materials calls for diverse methods of cleaning to be used. Removal of dust is however often done by brushing. Other techniques used include use of foam and liquid chemicals, vacuuming, and steam cleaning.

One of the processes the detailers do during this process is to wax the vehicle. Waxing is important because it makes the exterior of the vehicle to look shiny and glossy. Besides that, wax also acts as a protective layer for the paint. Thus, regular waxing keeps the automobile looking good and eliminates the need for repainting.

Waxing saves money car owners by eliminating the need for repainting the vehicle, a process that can be very expensive. The vehicle is also returned to a near-new condition. A feeling of satisfaction often accompanies driving a neat and near-new car. Such cars also feel comfortable when one is driving.

Lastly, this process has the ability to boost the resale value of a vehicle greatly. When the process is done professionally, the value of a car will be improved when it is sold. Such cars fetch higher prices compared to ones that have not had the process done.
