If you are looking to sell your car, you want it to be in the best possible condition to ensure you get the best price. It is worth engaging professionals to give your car the ultimate clean-up. Here’s a quick guide to the things you need to do to get your car ready for sale and what the detailing process will include.

What do I need to do to clean my car to get it ready to sell?

  • Remove all items from the car

Begin by removing all of your items from the car. You should check the back, under all seats, the glove box and any other storage compartments. Empty the car completely so that the detailers have a clear foundation to work with. You will need to remove all of your personal items when selling the car anyway.

  • Book a detailing service

Engaging a detailer will help you to get your car looking like new, making sure that you get the best possible price when you sell. There are a range of different options available when it comes to detailing so make sure you select the package that suits your needs.

What will a detailing service do to my car to get it ready to sell?

Detailing comes in a range of packages, so it depends on the specific one you purchase as to what you receive. Many detailing services provide mobile detailing services to make the process super convenient – you don’t even need to leave your house!

A typical detailing process would include the following:

  • Exterior clean

Experienced detailers would begin by cleaning the outside of your car. They would start with a pressure rinse to remove any dirt and debris from the exterior. This includes hard-to-clean places like wheel rims.

This is followed by a shampoo to get rid of any grime and stubborn spots. The entire outside of the car, including the wheels, will get a thorough clean with high-quality shampoo to get it looking like new.

The next step of the exterior clean is a high-pressure rinse. This will remove all of the soap and ensure your car is clean.

Finally, your car will be dried with a chamois to give it that new-vehicle shine!

  • Interior clean

We all know how frustrating it can be trying to remove dirt from all of the little nooks and crannies within our car. The professionals will take this tedious task off our hands, using their knowledge and tools to get an excellent result.

This includes a vacuum, dusting of all interior surfaces, wiping of door jambs and deodorization.

  • Other inclusions

Detailers will also take care of your car’s windows, giving them a good clean on the inside and outside. Clean, clear windows will instantly make your car look better!

Gloss tires and mud flaps are also typically included in a detailing package.
