Promotes Good Vehicle Health

You may think your car can only hold five passengers, but that’s not the case. Your vehicle carries millions, if not billions of unseen creatures. Whether you like to picture it or not, germs and allergens flourish in cars.

Too much dirt, dust or debris inside your car allows these germs to circulate in your vehicle. A thorough cleaning with vacuums and sterile wipes removes these particles and kills germs, and is another reason why detailing your car is important. So if you get the sniffles and sneeze a lot, you might start to feel better after taking your car to a detailer.

Increase Your Car’s Resale Value

You’ll have an easier time selling your car if it shines. A shiny and spot-free vehicle is like a person going in for a job interview. The person applying can be the right girl or guy for the job, but the employer won’t see that if the job applicant looks dirty.

Likewise, a car coated with dirt and grime, or an interior laced with stains will push potential buyers away. Your vehicle’s resale value can increase by a considerable amount, and a clean appearance could push an apprehensive buyer to say “sold!”.

Reflects on You Professionally

The section above made mention of job interviews. Well, your employer looks at more than just your work. In addition to your dressing, grooming and overall demeanor, it’s not unusual for a prospective employer to look at other things – your car could be among them.

While a car covered in dirt won’t necessarily dissuade an employer from hiring an individual, such a sight could leave a somewhat negative impression on their mind. So always consider the fact that someone may have their eyes on you.

Investment Protection

The single most important aspect of auto detailing is your vehicle's need for protection from the elements. A common misconception is that a vehicle's "clear coat" protects the exterior finish, so that regular maintenance is not required.

In reality, a wax coat should be applied at least twice a year to the painted surfaces to protect the finish from contaminates and oxidation. Although some dealerships offer an extra protection package for the vehicle at the time of purchase, this should not be considered a permanent solution.
