Answers to Your Exterior Detailing Questions
What does it mean to decontaminate with a clay bar?
Decontaminating a vehicle is a way to remove embedded contaminants from exterior surfaces. We use a clay bar treatment to remove these contaminants that traditional washing can't. At Davis Details, our decontamination efforts lift embedded pollutants like tar, brake dust, and industrial fallout. The result is a smoother, cleaner finish that’s primed for next steps in vehicle enhancement.
Are paint sealants better than wax?
Paint sealants and wax both protect your vehicle, but they serve slightly different purposes. Sealants are used in many of our exterior detailing services, offering a longer-lasting duration. They also provide a glossy, high quality surface shine. Car wax offers a natural glow but typically lasts only a few weeks. Choosing between them depends on your goals for vehicle protection and appearance.
Can you explain the 2 bucket hand wash method?
The 2 bucket hand wash method in our exterior detailing packages is a professional detailing technique designed to reduce the risk of scratching your vehicle's paint. One bucket holds clean, soapy water while the other is used to rinse the wash mitt and release trapped dirt. Davis Details uses this method to ensure every wash is safe, thorough, and swirl-free.
Can improper washing techniques really damage my vehicle's exterior?
Yes they can. Improper washing can cause swirls and scratches to appear on your vehicle’s paintwork. Using dirty rags, skipping pre-rinse steps, or washing in direct sunlight can lead to surface defects as well. Davis Details use careful, proven exterior detailing techniques to maintain your vehicle’s exterior safely and effectively.
Common Myths About Exterior Detailing
Myth 1: Detailing is a one-and-done type of service
Exterior detailing is not a one-time fix for your vehicle’s cleanliness. Just like oil changes, regular exterior detailing maintains the appearance and value of your vehicle. At Davis Details, we offer exterior detailing maintenance plans to keep your vehicle looking its best year-round. This is also beneficial for vehicles that have a ceramic coating that needs regular upkeep.
Myth 2: It's best to wait until your vehicle is filthy before scheduling a detail
Waiting until your vehicle is extremely dirty can lead to defects. Likewise, embedded contaminants and surface stains can develop if contaminants are left ignored for too long. Exterior detailing is part of regular upkeep that prevents these issues. It also keeps your vehicle in top condition. Davis Details recommends scheduling routine exterior detailing to protect your investment.
Myth 3: All exterior detailing services are the same
Not all exterior detailing services deliver the same results. Davis Details stands out with our use of industry-grade detailing solutions, intricate techniques, and a commitment to 5-star customer service. We don’t just clean your vehicle and send you on your way. We care about your vehicle as much as you do.
