Driving in Washington brings all types of dirt, dust, mud, and grime to the surfaces of your vehicle’s exterior. These can make it look dull, sloppy, and old. Bill The Buffman cares about what you drive and does not want you to have to deal with those messes yourself!

Myths About Professional Exterior Detailing

Myth 1: Any type of soap can be used to clean your vehicle’s exterior 

This is actually quite a common misconception. Any old soap and type of cleaner cannot and should not be used for cleaning vehicle exteriors. The reason this is not the case is because detailing solutions are specifically formulated to be gentle on your vehicle's paint while effectively removing dirt and grime without needing to scrub those surfaces. Household soaps or detergents can actually strip the wax off the vehicle's surface and may cause premature fading or discoloration. Our exterior detailing work is safe for your vehicle.

Myth 2: Automatic car washes are just as good as detailing - 

While automatic car washes offer convenience, they do not match the thoroughness of a hand wash. Additionally, they can actually be quite abrasive for your paint. Hand washing a vehicle with exterior detailing efforts provides a detailed approach where every part of the vehicle is carefully cleaned and inspected by our team of professionals. Automatic car washes miss spots and sometimes use abrasive brushes that can leave micro-scratches on the vehicle’s surface. Detailing and the hand washing efforts involved are far preferred by those who want the best care and most precise cleaning for their vehicle.

Myth 3: Only filthy vehicles really need exterior detailing 

Regular exterior detailing at Bill The Buffman is crucial for removing the regular buildup of contaminants that adhere to your vehicle's surface. These contaminants, including road salt, rainwater streaks, tree sap, and bird droppings, can cause issues in your paint if not removed in a timely manner. Waiting until your vehicle is filthy allows these harmful elements more time to cause actual damage to those surfaces, potentially leading to accelerated paint degradation. Consistent exterior detailing sessions help to maintain the integrity of the paint by ensuring that contaminants are removed before they can cause lasting harm.

Common Questions Regarding Exterior Detailing

  • What is a clay-bar treatment?

    A clay-bar treatment involves the use of a clay bar to remove contaminants from the surface of a vehicle’s paint. This treatment effectively lifts and extracts particles that regular washing cannot remove, such as brake dust and tree sap or bird droppings. The clay bar we use at Bill The Buffman is gently glided across the vehicle’s exterior surfaces. This clay bar picks up microscopic contaminants and as a result, the paint becomes exceptionally smooth and ready for further detailing steps like paint correction or adding a ceramic coating.

  • Are paint sealants better than car wax?

    Paint sealants are often preferred over traditional car waxes due to their longer-lasting protection capabilities and enhanced durability. Unlike wax, which typically lasts a few weeks, paint sealants can protect a vehicle’s paint for much longer. However, all told, we encourage customers who want maximized surface hydrophobicity and better paint gloss to consider a ceramic coating. This layer helps guard against environmental contaminants, helping maintain the paint’s gloss and integrity for longer periods. At Bill The Buffman, we recommend any of our ceramic coating packages for drivers looking for a low-maintenance solution that keeps their vehicles looking fresh!

  • What are the benefits of no-sling tire dressing?

    No-sling tire dressings are included in our exterior detailing services. This is a favorite at Bill The Buffman for its ability to beautify tires without the messy side effects associated with traditional tire dressings. This type of tire dressing adheres firmly to the tire, preventing it from slinging onto the vehicle’s body when driving. It provides a clean, glossy tire finish that enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle while also conditioning the tires to resist contamination, cracking, and aging. The no-sling formula also allows for a neat application.
