What's the difference between a Detail and Car Wash?

Unlike a 16 y/o working at your local carwash, who has minimal training and next to no knowledge. All of our technicians have a thorough understanding of the chemistry involved with the chemicals and products used in detailing, from how to select the product with the proper chemical properties for a surface, to how the weather affects those products. You can rest assured that our technicians have the proper knowledge for the job at hand. 

Unlike the people at your local mass market car wash, who may have received a 30 minute "training" on how to hold a rag. Our technicians under go rigorous training on every aspect of detailing. From proper wash techniques used to prevent swirls in clear coat, to chemistry, product selection, automotive surfaces and customer service, our people can spend months in training under the watchful eye of a veteran Detailer.

At your local car wash every car is washed with the same mass production harsh chemicals designed for cars from dusty to muddy. Here at Executive Detailing we hand select from a variety of high end premium products those that fit the specific needs of your car, both reducing the chances of damage and giving you higher quality results.

At a car wash you are going to get water sprayed on your car and a low quality, seldom washed mitt dragged haphazardly across your paint creating all sorts of problems and missing a lot of grime. With us you receive a cleaning more akin to going to a spa. From pre-wash treatments to prevent swirling, to the little details like the crevices between body panels, around door handles and behind the gas cap door, when we say clean, we mean it.

Car washes use cheap, mass produced tools such as brushes and towels, which are often reused for multiple cars, poorly maintained, and seldom cleaned. At Executive detailing we use only specially made, high quality tools that are rigorously  cleaned and maintained. We only ever use towels, brushes, and other tools that have been freshly cleaned and never moved from one vehicle to the next.
