It’s no secret that auto detailing can be pricey, this is why a lot of people are trying to DIY as much as they can to minimize the cost. But DIY-ing auto detailing can also be challenging and overwhelming. But despite the cost and challenge of the task, did you ever wonder why you have to do it or spend money on a shop do it for you?
At first it may be because you’re a new car owner and you feel like you should do it because everyone do, but after a while did you ever realize the true purpose of car detailing aside from cleanliness purposes? Does it ever cross your mind why can’t you just do the exterior? Why bother with the interior too when people are mostly just gonna see your car from the outside? Well, to fully understand why and not just feel like because you have to, here are reasons that will definitely make sense from now.
It Makes Your Car Look Good
This should be a no brainer but a lot of people actually take this for granted. Sure a little dust won’t make a difference on how fast it can go or how smooth it drives. But maintaining good looks can have its ripple effect of feeling like you have to be on top of the overall condition of your automobile which is always a good thing. Plus, when your look sleek from inside out, doesn’t it just boost your ego as well? Who doesn’t feel proud driving around a good looking car right?
Saves You The Trouble Of Repair And Costs
Did you know that leather can fade and crack when constantly exposed to the sun? But then you can spare you car’s upholstery from premature damages which, of course, saves you money from repair or repurchasing if your car is tinted. This is because car tints serves as a barrier from direct sunlight to block 90% of harmful UV rays from entering.
It Makes Your Daily Drive More Comfortable
If your car no longer has that new car scent, and you’ve tried a range of air freshening products without success, use a can of compressed air to give the vents a quick blast. Dust, dirt and moisture can build up on the inside of air vents, causing stale odors to circulate through the cabin whenever they’re in use. Imagine driving everyday while smelling that, definitely uncomfortable and can even give you a headache especially after a long drive. Compressed air will remove the offending muck, grime and bacteria, giving your car a fresher, more neutral smell.
It Increases Your Vehicle’s Worth Too
Visit a car showroom and take a look around, do you see even a single dusty car? Probably no. That’s because shiny and clean looking cars are what sells, even pre-owned one! When you shop for cars, don’t you open the doors and take a peek inside or even sit in there for a while? Do the surfaces look dirty or worn out? Definitely no either because what the car looks outside should reflect inside as well. So if you’re planning to put your car back on the market in the future, make sure to keep it pristine looking. Aside from investing in paint protection film which no doubt increases its value, you also have to care for the interior because you’re not fooling anyone if it’s just the exterior that looks new.
It Reflects Your Professionality
Carpets collect dust, dirt and other bits that can be difficult to remove even when using a vacuum. After a while you may start not caring and letting those accumulate but imagine needing to drive someone important to you one day? It can be on a date or a superior at work who needed a lift and the first thing they notice is all those dirt starting to take over the entire floor, it’s not a good look man. It makes it seem like you don’t care enough to clean after your own car or isn’t capable to do it at all which both makes you look incompetent in some way. So start cleaning that up! To loosen those bits up, wear latex glove and gently rub your hands across the surface of the carpet. This creates static that draw bits upwards and out of the fibers of the carpet making it easier for the vacuum to suck everything up.
