FAQ

The term 'car detailing' includes the process of thoroughly cleaning, restoring (such as paint correction/polishing) and finishing a vehicle, with the aim of returning it to absolute showroom condition. Every nook and cranny is literally tackled down to the last detail. Both the interior and exterior can be treated.

Traditional car cleaning companies and car washes aim to clean as many cars as possible in as little time as possible. Although these services generally perform simple tasks, they often cause paint damage, wash scratches and other imperfections due to improper washing techniques.

Unlike these companies, we prioritize quality over quantity. At Jarelle Details, we repair this damage and strive for perfection. We achieve the very best results by using the best materials, products and techniques.

Swirls or swirl marks are simply super fine scratches in the paint. They are usually caused by wiping the car with a dry towel (usually when it is dusty) or by incorrect washing techniques. Swirls are often most noticeable on black or dark cars, this is because the sides of the scratches reflect light.

A surface treatment with a clay bar only removes excess dirt (such as tree sap/resin and other contaminants) from the paintwork that cannot be removed by washing the car. A clay treatment therefore does not remove scratches.

Ceramic coating, also called glass coating, forms an extra hard top layer over the existing paint layer of the car. This layer adheres to the surface and not only keeps your car clean and shiny for longer, but is also more scratch-resistant and extremely water and dirt-repellent.

The average lifespan of a coating with proper maintenance is up to 3 years (depending on which package), much longer than a traditional wax! However, this lifespan varies from car to car. Some factors that can influence the lifespan:

How and how often is the car washed?

Is the car driven daily?

Is the car always outside or in a garage?
