5 Reasons You Should Skip At-Home Auto Detailing – Number 4 Will Surprise You!

Why Auto Image Is Your Go-To Professional Car Detailing Service in New Jersey

Can you feel it? The warm winds of spring and summer are approaching and it’s time to get your ride on the road from some cruise-time. Your first instinct might be to break out the hose and perform your own automotive detailing.

Wait! A DIY car detail isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Before you head to the store for supplies, read these five reasons you should skip the at-home auto detailing, and take your vehicle to the experts at Auto Image instead.

1. Expert Car Detailers Have Access to Professional-Grade Supplies

From water to wax, you need a lot of supplies to properly detail your car. In fact, the list of products you need to achieve a professional-level automotive detail is extensive. Here are just a few basic supplies you’ll need to detail your car:

  • Applicators and brushes
  • Drying tools
  • Multiple buckets
  • Towels and hand mittens
  • Vacuum
  • Soap
  • Wax
  • Interior cleaning products

When you schedule a professional automotive detailing service at Auto Image, you don’t have to worry about searching for the products you need to clean and detail your vehicle. We even have products to restore your headlights and take care of minor scuffs on your paint. All you need to do is sit back and relax while we take care of everything.

2. You Can Save Yourself Time and Energy With Professional Auto Detailing

When the weather turns warm, and Sunday night cruises start calling your name, it’s easy to think you have the time and energy to detail your entire car. Twisting and turning your heavy vacuum to suck out dirt and grime from your interior and scrubbing salt from your fenders takes a lot of work – and you’ll just have to turn around to do it again soon enough.

Sit back and relax while an entire team of professional auto detailers takes your vehicle from grimy to gorgeous while you wait. At Auto Image, we take care of every nook and cranny in your car. Our team has years of experience in automotive detailing, and can make your entire car pristine in a matter of minutes.

That means you can return to your day, instead of being exhausted from DIY automotive detailing.

3. Choosing a Professional Means You’re Avoiding Unnecessary Damage

As we said, a complete car detail takes a lot of work. This can lead to many people taking shortcuts or trying hacks they saw on social media when they attempt their own auto detailing. However, these hacks and shortcuts often lead to permanent damage to your vehicle.

When you use products and techniques that haven’t been tested by the professionals, it’s likely you’ll damage your car’s paint, which costs a lot more to fix than a professional auto detailing.

By paying professionals, you can put your mind at ease knowing your car is in expert hands. The experts at Auto Image can even recommend top-of-the-line auto accessories to protect the exterior of your car like ceramic coat and paint protection film.

4. Expert Automotive Detailing Is Better for the Environment

Despite the best intentions, many DIY auto detailers end up using a lot more water than they actually need. That’s because most people leave their hoses running when they aren’t using them and skip the directions when applying products.

This leads to water waste and a spike in your water bill. Professional automotive detailers can make your vehicle look exceptionally clean with just the right amount of water.

As a matter of fact, professional car detailers use almost half the amount of water you would use detailing your vehicle at home.

5. You Can Protect Your Upholstery With Professional Car Detailing

If you don’t have window tint to protect your interior from the sun’s damaging rays, then you need to take extra precaution when it comes to removing salt, stains, and water from your upholstery.

This is especially true after icy winter months when roads are treated with harsh chemicals. Each surface in your vehicle takes a specific cleaner. For example, you can’t use glass cleaner on leather, and you definitely shouldn’t use a dashboard conditioner on your windows.

Avoid making a mess and mistakes by taking your vehicle to the professionals at Auto Image, where we have what we need to clean and condition every part of your interior. Our team can even take care of the tough-to-remove odor that has been lingering in your seats all winter.

Find White-Glove Treatment When You Schedule Automotive Detailing at Auto Image

Don’t waste your time and money on a DIY detail! Instead, come to Auto Image where we can save you time, money, and make your vehicle shine inside and out. We offer a wide range of car detailing services, as well as several add-on services such as scratch repair, paint correction, and more.

At Auto Image, we believe every car owner deserves to have their car detailed without waiting for hours on end. That’s why you can count on us to deep clean and detail your vehicle quickly and affordably.
