Is Car Detailing the Same as Interior Cleaning?
1 Answers
Car detailing and interior cleaning are not the same; interior cleaning is only a part of car detailing, which includes more comprehensive cleaning tasks covering other areas of the vehicle. Car detailing includes the cleaning of the body surface, tires, rims, cabin, dashboard, windshield, engine surface, paint surface, tires, interior leather, etc., and typically takes 45-90 minutes. Precautions for car detailing: When rinsing the car with water, avoid spraying water into the lock holes. During cleaning, use a dispersed water stream to soak and loosen hardened dirt before scrubbing with a sponge from top to bottom. Finally, use a chamois to wipe away water marks. When cleaning the engine compartment, be careful not to splash water onto electrical system components such as the distributor and ignition coil. It is best to use a foam-based cleaner, as foam stays on the surface of dirt longer, breaking it down and lifting it away. Interior cleaning involves cleaning carpets, seats, air vents, trunk, dashboard, center console, floor, headliner, seats, and trunk, along with disinfection and deodorization. Common methods for interior cleaning include: Cleaner cleaning, using professional cleaners to scrub various interior parts to remove dirt. Interior steam cleaning, using high-temperature steam from a steam cleaner. Ozone disinfection, utilizing an ozone generator to produce ozone ions that adhere to bacteria, achieving a sterilizing effect. Toxin separation, spraying professional toxin separation agents under floor mats and in hard-to-reach areas, then setting the air conditioning to recirculate mode and running the engine for 10 minutes to enhance the cleaning effect.
