Cheap Auto Detailing and The Hidden Car Detailing Damage Your Never Told About
The word car detailing these days is a very misconstrued word among different members of the general public. It's like the word polymer.In the auto detailing industry the word polymer I believe is one of the most abused terms I can put my finger on.
Some people see auto detailing as being a simple car wash with a quick polish and that is it. Others see it as just a polish and a car interior clean. Which ever way you look at it car detailing is just good quality car cleaning.
To put it as perfect as possible auto detailing really is an enhancement of a cars overall current appearance. It's not just a car wash or just a car interior clean. Just on the exterior alone there is 5 steps to keeping your exterior in immaculate condition. This is just part of the auto detailing process.
As far As cosmetic vehicle maintenance is concerned, in the last 10 years or so auto detailing has become that fierce in competition when it comes to price, that any true quality in real car detailing and what true results look like has all but diminished. Mobile car detailers are popping up every where. Coffee car washes are also popping up everywhere. The recycled water alone in coffee car washes contains harsh degreasers, silicones, wheel acid, dirt which escapes the filtration system and God knows what else. Good for the environment they may be, good for your car they're not !!.
Many of these industry car detailers seem to be something similar to that of a fast food chain . Come in, take your money, give you poor quality results and see ya the hell later. Then customers wonder why their cars have got swirl marks. Lets face it, nobody hands out beatifully inflicted swirl marks for 80 dollars better than a coffee car washes or volume cheap detailers
These days people are actually afraid to deal with certain detailers because they don't know what the results are going to be like. It's not possible to achieve a pristine finish, and one that will last for a long time for 150 dollars.
It is really a shame that so many customers want to pay a small fee, but expect highly professional results within two hours. It will never happen under those circumstances with an exterior or interior.
You can however have a two or four week shine for that figure,unbeknown to you that your paint finish has been damaged. This is where fillers are used. The car is shiny when it's first detailed and after a few washes the compound slowly wears off revealing swirl marks. Either that or a straight cutting compound is used and the vehicle handed back.
Have you ever seen a black vehicle drive past you, which appeared to look like a black rolling mirror and practically flawless, and wandered to yourself "how the hell did he get his car looking like that". It can be safely guaranteed, that result was not achieved within 2 hours or for 150 dollars with cheap auto detailing.
A flawless finish can and will take in excess of 6-12 hours of paint correction and then followed by paint protection, depending on the severity of damage to it's paint surfaces, and its colour.
In reality many top quality car detailers have left the car detailing industry because they can no longer compete with the butchers in the auto detailing trade who offer cheap result car detailing at ridiculous prices. How many detailers do you know that you can trust with black car paint . On many discussions with other auto detailers when it comes to detailing a black car, they seem to cringe on the very word, because they have limited knowledge and they can not take short cuts.
Black colours will test any skill level and compounds a detailer can put to a car's paint. A true detailer is not afraid of black. A true detailer or paint correction specialist has learnt many a lesson from black and perfected what he knows. Whether you own a black car or any colour car,you really need to know who your talking to. You only have to make that mistake of a cheap detail just once, and you have caused damage that will run in the hundreds.
Personally I have never been a believer of anything that is in anyway good quality when it comes down to cheap pricing. It has been a repeated lesson, not just with me,but many of us,that cheap prices when buying anything is not going to get you anything that is good quality. In the auto detailing industry I have seen it so many times, time and time again. I only have to look at vehicles turning in front of me to see damage evident on cars that ve been hit by cheap auto detailers.
It is just human nature to have a stubborn attitude and continue to make repeated mistakes. Even in the car detailing trade. I have always said, that if you plan on selling a car, then detailing may be your answer,but if you plan on keeping it,paint correction is the answer. A lot of detailers will not tell you what you are about to be hit with when it comes to that 150 dollar detail. They don't tell you about the absolute garbage products that you could swear might as well be cream mixed with sand is what they're about to put to your cars paint. You only learn after the damage has been done
If this is not enough to make you hold onto your money and your paint job, and maybe detail the car yourself, then I don't know what is. I have always said, I would rather hold onto my 150 dollars and damage my car for free myself,than to have payinstead ! for someone else to do it for me.

Good paint job ?
Hey all, im looking for a decent paintjob for my first car which is a 98 honda accord. Im still a teenager and really dont know much about the price ranges but i asked my dad and did a little research and i found that REALLY good paintjobs can go up to 3K-5K. So i was wondering where or how i can get a DECENT paintjob for no more than 1,000? And also will i be charged more if my car has custom body kits on it ? I have custon bumpers, back bumpers,fenders, and side skirts, Would that make it more expensive to paint ? Thanx in advance !!
for a first car on a budget try macco and the like. not professional quality but decent. possibly $400-500.
serious professional quality starts at 5k and goes to the moon.
