Frequently Asked Questions

What is detailing?

Detailing is the rejuvenation and protection of a vehicles exterior and interior, a restoration as complete as possible to factory condition and beyond, to a “Showroom condition“. A professional detailing service by L.R.D will not only bring your vehicle to the highest level of perfection, but will also make the vehicle maintenance easier. Your vehicle will look fresh and shine wash after wash.

What is Paint Correction?

Automatic car washes, hand car washes, dirty sponges, dirty towels, bad products and wrong techniques are the main causes of paint imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, buffer marks, holograms, micro marring, etc. Paint Correction Process is the removal of those paint imperfections by re-leveling the paintwork by 1 or 2 microns to the highest possible standards of perfection without compromising the safety of the paint thickness.

What is Clay - Bar?

Detailing Clay – Bar is an engineered resin compound used to remove contaminates from the surface of your vehicle’s paint, fiberglass, glass and metal. Paint contaminates can be felt as a rough texture on the paint’s surface such as: industrial fallout, rail dust, brake dust, overspray, rust spots, tree sap, tar and bug remains. Those contaminates can not be removed by only washing your vehicle. Used properly, detailing Clay – Bar is completely safe, nonabrasive and will not remove any paint like compounds and polishes. Detailing Clay – Bar will leave your vehicle’s paint surface smooth as glass. We use detailing Clay – Bar before the application of any wax or polish. By doing this the shine will be more uniform, deeper and brighter, because waxes and paint sealants will adhere better to clean paint surface.

I just bought a new vehicle, should I wait a few months to book a detail with you?

A new vehicle rarely leaves the showroom with high quality finish or good protection. You would think that a brand new vehicle should be in perfect condition, but in fact there will be many contaminations that need to be removed. Contaminations that occur from unprofessional pre – delivery preparation, rail dust damages and poor dealer storage conditions. This is not the perfect start for your pride and joy…

Why the detailing prices vary from one vehicle to another?

The prices will vary from many reasons. The old saying “time is money “is very true, and when it comes to a long skilled labor detailing service it can be expensive. Some detailers are more thorough than others, some have more skills, better techniques, better products and some have better equipment. Some detailers will include more steps in a detail than others such as engine cleaning, interior dressing, more polishing steps or wet sanding. More steps mean more time which means more money. Some clients are very picky and they demand absolute perfection, while others are looking for more of a basic detail. Some clients would like their interior done to perfection and some clients would like their exterior to shine like a show – car. The final factor that will change the prices is the vehicle itself.

  • How old is the vehicle? Obviously the job will take longer and be more of a challenge to detail an old or classic vehicle than a new vehicle.

  • What color is the vehicle? Darker colors will always show more paint imperfections than lighter colors and that is why there will be a big time different from detailing a lighter color vehicle. Darker vehicles will require more polishing steps and more time to look their best.

  • How big is the vehicle? Less time and stages are required for detailing a small two - door vehicle than a big Hummer.

  • What color is the interior? Light interiors show more stains and dirt than dark interiors. A light interior will always be harder to detail and will always require more time and effort to restore.

The highest and most expensive quality is classified as rare grade one carnauba, the quality used in Swissvax waxes.

I just had my vehicle detailed last week at my local carwash, but after its first wash I have noticed swirl marks and holograms. Why this happened and what should I do?

There can be few reasons for this, but the most common one is because an unprofessional detailer has been using the wrong techniques and the wrong products to remove imperfections from the paintwork. Some detailers also only apply wax to cover those imperfections. It may look good when you receive your vehicle, but those swirls and holograms appear after your first wash because the wax and glaze used to fill them get washed away. You should call Avi and book your vehicle for a paint correction service which will correct those imperfections before the application of rare White Brazilian Grade One Carnauba Wax.
