Do you ever stop to think about what exactly makes you car so incredibly shiny after a visit from us? Perhaps it’s our technique, tools, or years of experience or maybe it’s simply the magic of elbow grease! Let’s take a look at the science behind your shiny car with mobile car detailing expertise!
Shiny Like a Mirror
If you really want to achieve that mirror like finish on a car then you need to think about maximising light reflection.
The light reflecting off of your vehicle’s polished surface is what makes it look so shiny. This is because the smooth surface helps to reflect the light evenly which always looks amazing in the Australian sun.
If you let your paintwork get scratched, oxidized or badly faded then it disrupts the reflection of the light causing your car to look pretty sorry for itself.
Protect and Polish
So now we know that the polishing is what creates that stunning shine on your vehicle we need to keep it looking that good for as long as possible.
This basically means you need to protect your paintwork from anything that might disrupt the reflectivity or damage the body work of your car. Many mobile car detailing companies use wax or sealants but we prefer to offer you a premium car detailing trick call ceramic paint protection.
When you purchased your vehicle you may have opted for premium finishes like metallic paint. It is exactly these premium finishes that work so well with ceramic paint protection and it can even add value to your car!
Scare Away the Water
If you’re into your chemistry then you may have heard the term hydrophobic. Many modern mobile car detailing products are made using special polymers and synthetic materials which bond to the exterior of your car.
These synthetic materials have hydrophobic qualities and that means they repel all the nasty stuff like dirt and grime as well as water, leaving your car super shiny.
Decent polishing and a good protective product applied correctly to your car’s exterior is the perfect recipe for a long lasting shine.
How Do Ceramic Coatings Work?
So we’ve talked a little bit about ceramic coatings and we cannot stress enough that they are the very best treatment for your car if you’re serious about shine!
In Australia, many residents prefer to pay a little extra and get the ceramic paint protection service we offer simply to avoid paint discolouration or extra wear and tear from living near the coast.
Ceramic paint protection uses incredible nanotechnology to create a semi-permanent bond between itself and your paint work. This bond allows the technology to form a super smooth reflective surface that reflects light creating the ultimate shine!
Prepping Your Paintwork
Of course, it doesn’t matter how many fancy products and tools you use on your vehicle, if the prep isn’t done correctly then you’ll never achieve a uniform shine.
Here at Australia’s Detailing Group we offer a thorough wash and chamois service across all of our mobile car detailing packages which allows us to get your car’s paintwork ready for anything!
A good wash and chamois is the perfect foundation to then be able to go ahead and apply any spot treatments to damaged paintwork or full exterior treatments like wax, sealants, and ceramic coatings.
Without an even surface covering every inch of your car it doesn’t really matter what you do to the paintwork, it will never shine as well as a correctly prepared vehicle. Taking the time to clean and polish your car really adds that extra special finish to the extra!
Finishing Touches to Your Car’s Exterior
Even if you’ve gone the whole hog and splashed out for the ceramic paint protection service we offer, tired plastics and scuffed tyres can totally ruin your cars street cred.
We can help to restore any exterior plastic on your vehicle as well as shine your tyres, hub caps and mag wheels so your car looks incredible all over. It’s these little touches that can elevate the appearance of your vehicle in any car park!
