There's always been something a little bit nostalgic about your local, neighborhood car wash. Because it really did feel like it was yours. You'd pull up to a car wash attendant you recognized. And eventually, that recognition turned into a relationship. A handshake understanding that you'd truly be taken care of. But then one day, those friendly faces all seemed to fade away, replaced by digital "voices" that rushed you through an assembly line. A churn-and-burn model where your machine whizzed past other machines.

A very important thing to point out about auto detailing is that it is much different than just car washing. Someone who just washes cars will get the dirt off but, they may scratch your finish and maybe even the paint beyond repair. A professional detailing will protect the finish by removing surface contamination that washing alone won't touch. It will also include polishing paint damage and restoring faded trim. Detailing is way beyond simple car washing. A variety of shampoos, cleaners, degreasers, protectants, lubricants, polishes, clay bars, compounds, and waxes have also developed over time to suit various demands of consumers."
