What Is Car Detailing?

Most people think of a quick car wash when they hear the word “detailing.” But detailing goes far beyond soap and water. It’s a deep cleaning, restoration, and protection process designed to make your vehicle look, feel, and even smell like new. At PeachLine Mobile Detailing, we bring professional detailing to your driveway, using the safest tools and products to protect your investment.

Car Wash vs. Car Detailing

  • Car Wash: Quick exterior rinse and soap, often automated, usually takes 10–15 minutes. Removes surface dirt but often leaves streaks, water spots, and missed areas.

  • Car Detailing: Comprehensive inside-and-out service, with hand washing, paint decontamination, interior shampoo, stain removal, and protective coatings. Takes 2–4 hours and restores your vehicle’s appearance to a like-new condition.

Exterior Car Detailing

Exterior detailing focuses on cleaning and protecting every surface on the outside of your vehicle. This includes:

  • Foam pre-wash & hand wash (swirl-free method)

  • Clay bar or towel decontamination (removes embedded dirt and brake dust)

  • Iron remover & bug/tar removal

  • Wheel, tire, and trim cleaning

  • Paint protection with ceramic spray sealant or coatings

The goal: restore gloss and protect your paint from future damage.

Interior Car Detailing

The interior of your car takes the most abuse — spills, crumbs, dust, and odors build up over time. Detailing addresses every surface:

  • Vacuuming & compressed air blowout (reaches cracks and vents)

  • Carpet and seat shampoo with heated extraction (removes stains and odors)

  • Leather cleaning and conditioning

  • Dashboard, vents, and plastics cleaned and UV protected

  • Window and mirror cleaning (streak-free clarity)

The goal: a spotless, fresh interior that feels brand new.

Why Car Detailing Matters

Detailing isn’t just about looks — it protects your car and saves you money long-term:

  • Protects resale value: A detailed car can sell for hundreds (or even thousands) more.

  • Prevents damage: Regular detailing removes contaminants that cause paint corrosion and interior wear.

  • Improves comfort: Clean interiors eliminate allergens, odors, and bacteria.

  • Extends life of materials: UV protection for trim, conditioning for leather, and coatings for paint keep your vehicle lasting longer.

Professional vs. DIY

While DIY cleaning helps, true detailing requires professional tools, deionized water, and expertise to avoid scratches and achieve showroom-level results. At PeachLine, we handle the hard work so you don’t have to — right at your home or office.
