These swirls in particular are caused by the improper use of a rotary polisher; they will look like "holograms" in the paint. This is not acceptable and not how it should look, but it can be fixed. Word of Mouth Detailing can help restore the paint to its original swirl-free condition. For more information about our auto paint protection in Memphis, TN, give us a call.

Remember what your car looked like on the showroom floor? Every surface was clean, the motor was shiny, the tires glistened, and the paint just exploded with color — that’s what your car should look like after a full detail. The vehicle should be as close to showroom condition as possible. At Word of Mouth Detailing, we only know one way to detail: the right way! That means no shortcuts or excuses. 

The car is washed by hand with gentle mitts and then dried with microfiber towels. This gentle process ensures that your finish remains swirl-free and crystal clear. The paint is then clayed to remove bonded contaminants such as tar, overspray, industrial fallout, rail dust, and more. Then, the polishing begins. In our experience, and depending on the car and its specific needs, this could be a five-step process or longer. This is where the paint is cleaned, polished, and sealed to a swirl-free, mirror shine. We've found that this process alone can take up to 10 hours on some vehicles.

The molding and trim are also dressed to protect them from the elements. The wheels are cleaned, polished, and sealed to protect them from corrosion. This includes behind the spokes. The exterior and interior glass are cleaned and polished to a brilliant, streak-free shine. All exterior chrome/metal trim is polished and sealed; headlights are polished for crystal-clear clarity, safety, and even light distribution; the wheel wells are cleaned and dressed; the engine is degreased and dressed; door jams are cleaned, polished, and sealed; the interior and trunk are thoroughly vacuumed; and the carpets are shampooed and extracted, removing all stains and revealing the true color of the carpet fibers.

If you suffer from allergies or are sensitive to strong smells/chemicals, please rest assured that our exclusive vapor steam cleaning techniques will provide you with a sterile, hygienic interior free of all allergens, pet dander, and mold spores. Every crack and crevice is steamed with a vapor steamer. All dust is removed from the dash and all vinyl surfaces. Vinyl surfaces are dressed to the owner’s preference. The leather and upholstery are deep cleaned and then dressed to protect them from fading and discoloring. All vanity mirrors, as well as the rearview mirror, are also cleaned.

We have customers who come in at the turn of every season, some who come once a month, and others who bring their vehicles in twice a year. It’s really up to you and the goals that you have for your vehicle. Some clients want their car to look its best at all times, so we see them more frequently. Others take care of their car between their appointments using the instructions that we provide them with during the initial detail. Driving habits and the location where your vehicle is stored can also play a role in how often you need to have your car detailed. For more information about how often you should come in for paint detailing or a clear bra in Memphis, TN, give us a call.

Typically, we need one full business day to complete a full detail. In our experience, subsequent maintenance details can take around four to five hours. Call us today for more information about detailing and auto paint protection in Memphis, TN.

While there are a variety of variables that go into this, such as the condition of your vehicle or its material, it's important to remember that, in our experience, the swirls can be removed or greatly reduced in 99% of cases. We have never seen a vehicle with swirls that could not be removed or at least greatly improved. Call us today for more information about auto paint restoration and ceramic coatings in Memphis, TN.

Many dealerships have started giving away "free" car washes to customers who come in for service. We always recommend that our customers decline the "free" wash. This typically either consists of running your vehicle through a tunnel wash or hand washing it in the clean-up department. The reason that I recommend you decline the wash is that it only takes one improper wash to undo the many hours of work that it took to make your paint perfect. This is why we teach every client how to properly care for, wash, and dry their vehicle. Remember, no one cares about your vehicle like you do.

Word of Mouth Detailing can also provide a hand wash for you should you not have the time. We specialize in using the proper materials and techniques to keep your vehicle swirl-free. For more information about our techniques, or to schedule an appointment for auto window tint in Memphis, TN, give us a call.

No! We've found that these assembly-line car washes are frequent contributors to our clients' paint swirl problems. If you are considering taking your car to one of these assembly line washes, ask yourself a few of these questions: Is this system tailored to the specific needs of my car? Is there any way those strips traveling at such a high speed could be safe for my delicate clear coat? Are the people running these car washes passionate about what they do? We strongly recommend bringing your car to a professional shop that deals with paint protection, vehicle restoration, and ceramic coatings in Memphis, TN, rather than an automatic car wash.

The exterior of a vehicle includes the paint, trim, and wheels. Having a professional detailer clean these very visible parts of your car will make it more attractive to potential buyers. That may increase your car’s trade-in value or selling price if you decide to sell your vehicle or trade it in for a new one. 

So when’s the best time to detail your car, if you’re thinking about getting a new one? That would be just before you think about selling or trading in your vehicle so that you can net the most amount possible.

Detailing your car is a process that’s designed to keep it looking fresh and clean. The detailing process can make your vehicle look new, but there are some things you should know before starting this project.

If you have a car worth more than $30,000, detailing it may be the best investment you can make. A good detailing job will not only make your car look nicer and last longer, but it will also hold its value better. The cost of maintaining a vehicle goes up with age and mileage, but detailing your car can be an important part of helping it hold on to as much of its resale value as possible. Professional detailing is also an important part of proper classic car maintenance to help maintain value. 

It can be a lot of work to detail a car before selling it, but many people do so because it makes it look great and helps increase the price. If you detail your car, it will look newer and cleaner. You can save yourself a lot of work (and get more professional results) by taking your car for professional auto detailing. A good detailer should tell you if there are any major issues with your paint or other parts of your car’s exterior.

But the exterior isn’t the only part of the car that will be taken into consideration when you offer it for sale or as a trade-in. A clean engine compartment also gives the impression of a car that’s newer, well-maintained and therefore more value. So when you consider having your car detailed, engine detailing is a good service to include. And interior detailing can help bring extra shine to your car’s leather seats and other surfaces.
