It goes without saying – if you’re hoping to sell your car, it pays for it to be in the best condition possible. Whilst that includes making sure it’s safe to drive and roadworthy, it’s also important to make sure that the interior and exterior are shining bright. If you’re really looking to make your car stand out and get the maximum return on your sale, in the quickest time possible, you might like to opt for a professional car wash and detailing service. Many professional car washes have a whole menu of washing and detailing services to choose from, from a basic wash through to full detailing services. Depending on the condition of your car, you’ll likely need a service that covers the inside and outside of the car to ensure it’s shining like a diamond for the photos you’ll need for your ad.
Even cars in the best condition benefit aesthetically from detailing services like a deep vacuum, good steam clean of carpets, mats and fabric seats, leather treatment of leather surfaces and dusting and polishing of dash and interior trims. Exterior detailing services like a paint cleansing treatment or a wax and polish will make your duco smooth and glossy like its just rolled out of the showroom. If your paintwork is in less than ideal condition you might also consider a cut and polish which will revive dull looking paint by removing superficial scratches which can potentially add significant value to the car. Be warned, you may reconsider selling once your car has been primped and preened to perfection!
