Here’s the TIPS process when detailing your vehicle:
- Exterior detailing:Our car exterior detailing cleans, corrects, and protects. We wash, clay bar to remove contaminants, polish to fix scratches, and apply wax for a lasting shine.
- Chassis and Wheels: We clean, correct and protect the undercarriage and chassis as integral parts of your car’s exterior. This includes directly under the car and inside the wheel wells. We dress the plastic splash guards and inner fender liners with a plastic protectant. We thoroughly wash the wheels and tires before applying a protectant to enhance the luster and protect against corrosion and cracking.
- Headlights, Taillights and Exterior Trim:We don’t just polish oxidation from headlights and taillights—we seal it for lasting results. We clean chrome trim, protect vinyl, and even polish your exhaust tips.
Interior detailing - Engine Bay: Many of our competitors give the engine bay the short shrift because nobody looks under the hood to see if the engine is clean. We don’t tolerate that nonsense at TIPS. Your engine and related components are critical parts of auto detailing and we treat them as such. We start by gently misting the engine bay with water before cleaning with a degreaser and rinsing clean. When dry, we use the same care in dressing the silicone, plastic and rubber components under the hood as for the visible parts of your vehicle to protect against cracking.
We tackle your car interior with that glassy-eyed madness you see in NFL linebackers sacking the opposing quarterback. We steam-clean all carpeting and seating surfaces, ferreting deep into the nooks and crannies to root out the built-up goop and taco crumbs. If yours is leather seating, we condition the leather after cleaning. Then, we clean and properly dress all plastics and vinyl. When we’re done with the passenger area of your car, we do the same to your trunk.
When you retrieve your vehicle, evaluate our work against the textbook definition of auto detailing:
“auto detailing is the performance of thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of an automobile, both inside and out, to produce a show-quality level of detail.”
TIPS offers complete auto detailing solutions for customers that come mainly from the West Atlanta and Riverside communities.
