The concept of detailing is something that has been around for almost 100 years, although the practice of detailing on vehicles began in the United States and England first.
If you need to find a quality auto detailing shop near you, you should walk around and get a quote. You should list a handful of workshops that look good on paper. So, you can contact each, one by one to ask for the car detailing price.
A body and paint job for your car can vary from shop to shop where car detailing prices can range between $800 and $1,800 for a complete car, and it can vary between $250 and $1,200, depending on a few factors that we will discuss later. In some cases, there are even increments of over $1,800 in a vehicle’s detail.
Why are there price differences between the body shop and a detailing center?
Detailers perform a type of polishing that relies primarily on paint correction. This method is able to correct and eliminate a large number of defects in the painting and/or varnishing of lei and metal without performing sheet metal and varnishing operations. In addition, the number of dedicated hours is much higher, oscillating between 8 and 30 hours depending on the characteristics, the condition and the level of detail you want to achieve.
Is it bad to polish a newly purchased car?
Polishing does not strip paint or remove layers as is often mistakenly thought. The polishing process is responsible for “flattening” this surface. Therefore, it eliminates small imperfections and considerably increases the luminosity and the mirror effect that you want to obtain. It is understood that in the details therefore, one can obtain an even better finish than a new production vehicle.
So, what should I do?
Depending on your goals and the condition of the bodywork, an insider will always advise you which option is best and, therefore, how far you can go with the details. In many cases, even the detailing professional, after making the assessment, diagnoses that the best option (due to poor sheet metal, paint or lacquer condition) is to take it to a specialist sheet metal and painting Centre.
They will repair the fundamental base that a Detailer usually works with: an existing paint and a surface that is not deformed. But in any case, there are other factors to consider when making a detail. It does not rely solely on professional polishing, otherwise it encompasses a series of techniques, processes and finishes that only a professional Detailer can know. Perfection in finish, show car effect and the feeling of having exponentially improved the physical appearance of your car and a shine that stands out from the rest.
