Auto Detailing

Auto detailing is the process of making your car look, smell, and feel brand new, by paying attention to details a normal car wash doesn’t. A normal car wash just focuses on making your car appear to be clean.

car tinting windows

More people in NOVA these days are getting the windows of their car tinted. There are numerous benefits to having tinted windows on your car. For one thing, it reduces the amount of heat and UV rays that get into your car because of the sun. That way, if you leave your car parked outside on a hot NOVA summer day then it won’t feel like an oven when you get into it. Tinted windows also provide glare reduction so that the rays of the sun don’t glare up in your windshield and distract you. This optical clarity is quite exceptional and will make it easy for you to see the road in all types of weather conditions in Northern Virginia. You’ll never have to worry about forgetting your sunglasses ever again!

CAR WRAPS & GRAPHICS

Vinyl car wraps will stretch even more when heat is applied. Many detailers will use a heat gun to stretch the vinyl so it will appear smoother, especially around curves and corners. Once the wrap has been fully applied, the edges are carefully removed with a knife that cuts into the vinyl, but not the paint.

Another challenge is addressing the seams. Depending on the vehicle and design that is applied, it may not be possible to cover all the seams. Some detailers will overlap seams while others will have Kevlar threads applied under the vinyl which will provide precise cutting to hide the seams.

Keep in mind that car wraps are not permanent, so they can be removed without damaging the paint underneath. It’s not an easy process, but the combination of citrus-based chemicals to dissolve the adhesive and heat to lift the sections works quite well.
