A professional method for keeping your car at its best
The car detailing process consists of several key steps
key steps, each of which plays a critical role in transforming the appearance
of the car:
Prewash and Wash: this initial stage removes surface dirt and prepares the car for deeper treatments. Using specific solutions, hand washing preserves the integrity of the paintwork and prepares the surface for decontamination.
Decontamination: crucial for removing impurities such as resins, oxides and tar, decontamination is essential to protect the paint and prepare the car for polishing. The old clay system for deep surface cleaning is now replaced by the more powerful Virtus PolyDisk.
Polishing: using professional random orbital polishers and products from the Virtus Pro line, polishing removes surface scratches and oxidation, giving the bodywork a shiny, even, almost mirror-like appearance.
Protection: the last step is the application of sealants or nanotechnology that protect the paintwork from harmful external elements such as UV rays, acid rain and industrial contaminants, ensuring a long service life.
Aesthetics: greatly improves the appearance of the car, also increasing its commercial value.
Protection: effectively protects against weathering and everyday wear.
Durability: with proper maintenance, car detailing results can last for years.
The costs of car detailing can vary considerably depending on the depth and quality of the services offered. A basic treatment can start at 250 to 300 euros, while a complete package can reach or exceed 1,500 euros. Although the initial investment may seem high, the long-term benefits on car preservation and aesthetics justify the expense for many car owners.
Car detailing is an investment in the longevity and aesthetics of the vehicle, a detailed procedure that pays off over time, keeping the car in top condition. Whether preparing a car for a sale or simply wanting to enjoy a car that always looks new, car detailing offers solutions for different needs and budgets.
Once the car detailing process has been completed, regular
regular maintenance becomes essential to preserve the results obtained and
maximise the investment. Post-detailing maintenance not only helps to
maintain the car in optimum condition, but also ensures that the aesthetics and
protection will last. Here are some recommended practices:
Frequent washing: even after a thorough detailing process, it is important to wash the car regularly to avoid the build-up of dirt and contaminants that can erode the applied protection. It is advisable to use gentle washing techniques, preferably by hand, with neutral shampoos specifically for treated cars.
Periodic protective application: periodically applying additional coats of polish, such as our 471 or 571, can significantly extend the protection of the car's paintwork, especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Checking and renewing: scheduling follow-up sessions with your detailer to check the condition of the paintwork and interior can help identify and resolve any problems early on, keeping your car in top condition, both aesthetically and functionally.
Use of specific maintenance products: investing in quality car care products is essential. Using specific cleaners, polishes and maintainers ensures that the car's materials, such as leather and fabrics, remain protected and in top condition.
Prompt repair of damage: acting quickly on minor damage, such as scratches or paint chipping, prevents it from worsening and compromising the car's overall protection. Timely repair is crucial to maintain the integrity of the detailing job.
