Keep Your Vehicle Looking Good After Car Detailing

Auto detailing is one of the best ways to show your car a little TLC. Whether you want to simply refresh it for your own driving enjoyment or expect to sell your car someday soon, getting this special treatment can transform your vehicle and restore its comfort and good looks. Once the auto technician finishes though, you might be wondering how to keep this new look. Here’s how to take care of your vehicle after car detailing.

Protect It From the Elements

Avoid parking under trees or in direct sunlight to shield your car from falling debris and harmful ultraviolet light rays. Wind blowing dust around can scratch your car, so try to park it in a spot that offers some interference from the weather if you don’t have a garage or carport you can use.

Wash It Carefully

Use a gentle soap that’s formulated for washing cars. Microfiber cloths offer greater protection than rags or sponges when it comes to avoiding scratches. Talk to your professional auto tech about the finishing products you can use at home between detailing or after the application of special coatings to preserve their effectiveness.

Develop Good Habits of General Upkeep

Taking regular care of your vehicle helps maintain its cleanliness and peak condition. Clean the window glass and mirrors, and vacuum or wipe down the interior upholstery. Wipe down interior surfaces with a microfiber cloth to lift dust and grime. Vacuum out the floors and trunk, and wash and wipe the tires thoroughly.

Fantastic service at a fair price. Immaculately touched up a scrape on my side and rear quarter panel such that there’s no evidence it ever happened. Clear communication throughout from Odi, who was a pleasure to work with.

Used Final Finish to get my front windows tinted to match the factory rear windows on my Tesla Model Y. (25%). Job was professional, fast, friendly and looks fantastic! Would highly recommend and will go back when I need any other car services.

Got my son's windows tinted on his new car last month. I stressed to the owner-that I DO NOT want the windows too dark my son is 6'1, 235 & black...so I was VERY clear people need to be able to see into his car. And with the cloudy Seattle weather I know it can be tricky. The owner explained to me 25% is legal & he asked me what color my son's interior is-I told him black. Then I was shown a red Honda in the garage & he asked me if I liked the tint-I said yes it good. We acknowledged the car had medium Grey interior & I could still very easily see in the car even while it's parked in a garage. So whatever tint that was on the Honda is what I wanted. We finalized the deal and came back later that day to pick up the car & the windows were BLACKED out. I gave it a couple days for the tint to settle in...everyone in my family commented that the windows are too dark & are concerned. This didn't sit well with me. So I brought the car back to show the owner. I explained my issue & that in the past I was shown visuals of tint. Looking confused he said "didn't I take you into the office to show you samples?" I was like...uhhhh no. He then offers to not charge me for the removal, but charge me for new tint! I explained to him- I told you & showed you what I wanted & however that translates from one car to the next is not my area of expertise it's his & He didn't do his part by showing me the tint examples. He didn't even look at my sons car to see what that level tint would be like on a car with black interior. Why should I have to pay for his mistake. A complete waste of Money-please DO NOT COME HERE FOR SERVICE unless you like throwing away money.

My car was filthy... I wish I'd taken before pictures so I could show how great their detailing job was. They were professional, engaging and did impeccable work. I highly highly recommend their services and will definitely be going here from now on. Thanks!

Had my one year old car ceramic coated! God, it looks even better than when I first got it!

I got my new Tesla Model 3 PPF'd and tinted here. They also installed some accessories like mud flaps and a spoiler. The overall experience was exceptional and this is the best quote I've received in the city. All the reviews saying Odi wasn't responsive, please note that he's the owner of the business and is also working on your car. The quality of work and care he takes shows in the final output. Its always good to have the owner work on or be around your detail and upgrades. He also gave me a honest opinion in selecting the right product and level of protection for my car and not by what makes him the most money.

I had called to follow up with details on their Complete Auto Detail Package that they had messaged me about. The employee that answered told me he was not by a computer and was "working", and would need me to reexplain all of the communications prior. He was generally annoyed that I called, begrudgingly answered basic questions like "what does the Complete Auto Detail Package cover?" He waffled on whether or not they offer services like an engine bay cleaning, by saying they don't because I would come back and claim it triggered an engine warning light. He was annoyed that I wanted the front seats removed to clean the carpet underneath, and would take 24hrs to remove seats and door trim.. He argued with me on whether hard water spots can be removed from glass with clay bars and compound. He then casually hung up on me when I was speaking to confirm the location for an in person consultation. Final Finish Auto Salon is a joke. Clearly they do not care about earning someone's business, and just wanted get off of the phone.

I needed to travel in a week and needed the car. Since it was summer I need tinting done within a week. Odicar made it possible without compromising on the work quality. Fast and reliable results. He was fast to respond and answered all my questions while still suggesting best ways to accomplish the goal. I will be happy to use services from them again.
