Dahlen Auto Spa

Paint and interior maintenance is just as important as any other routine maintenance on your car.

Keeping your paint and interior healthy will keep your car looking its best and will help hold and increase resale value.

My full detail service should only need to be done once. A full detail will correct the fine scratches on your car and multiple layers of protection will be applied to protect the correction. Proper washes and regular waxings after a paint correction will keep your investment looking great.

Look at the reflection of a flashlight or street light in your car's paint and you will see thousands of little scratches. These scratches start to accumulate as soon as a dealer washes a car before delivery, and they only get worse after years of drive through car washes and drying your car off in your driveway with an old beach towel.

A full detail starts with a pH neutral, professional wheel and tire cleaning that breaks down brake dust and road grime, then a gentle paint shampoo is applied from top to bottom using plush micro-fiber applicators. After a rinse and dry, USA made car clay is used to pull out contaminates that set in your paint and clear coat from normal daily driving and things like industrial fallout. The clay bar will also remove heavier paint contaminates such as bird droppings and tree sap. Once your paint is completely free of dirt and contamination, a correction assessment is done and various compounds and polishes are worked in as needed with a professional-grade dual-action buffer. This multi-step process restores depth and gloss to your paint. The final process is to protect that shine, and add a bit more depth by applying a glaze, sealant, wax or combination of top coats.

Windows are polished as needed, and cleaned to perfection to remove water marks and restore clarity.

Your interior will be pampered with steam cleaning, gentle citrus-based cleansers, and your choice of high or low shine dry-to-touch UV protectant on your dash and trim. Leather is cleaned and conditioned with a pH-neutral, water-based cleanser that does not leave a greasy film or cheap shiny look.

Wheels are polished and protected, and tires are dressed with a water-based dressing.

After several hours of work, your car will be looking better than the day you took it off the lot, and you should be able to maintain the investment in your car with simple washes and routine waxings.

Whether you are looking to increase your car's value before selling or trading it in, or you just want your car to look its absolute best, I can make it happen.
