I have the opportunity to write an article for a local newspaper. The editor thinks the article should be structured around "10 Good Reasons to Have Your Car Professionally Detailed". Does anyone have any suggestions? My goal is to educate the general public about detailing, and the benefits of it.



Thanks, Brad
 
First of all, that's a really good idea to promote your business. So let's give you some ideas for the 10.....maintain the resale value of your car, make your neighbors envious, increase your gas mileage...
 
Increase your gas mileage? That's a new one to me! :D



I'd say #1 is protecting your cars paint and appearance. So that will be my contribution.
 
Thanks. Some of those I thought of already. Explain the gas mileage one though. Are you reffering to the engine being clean? I will need to provide supporting evidence of the reasons I choose. Thanks for the help.
 
1. Protect paint, rubber, trim, leather, etc.



2. Increase life of paint, interior, etc.



3. Maintain/increase resale value



4. Proper products and techniques



5. Remove and/or repair defects



6. Beautiful appearance
 
Well if you contrast a clean car to a mud caked 4x4 truck, then yeah theres something to compare...



1. Increases drivability. Clean windows helps you to see better.

2. Easier maintenance. Working on a filthy car is a hassle. Makes the job easier for yourself or for mechanics.

3. Clean door jambs means your clean slacks won't get dirt smudged on them.

4. Dust is never a good thing, especially in a cramped car interior. +1 for health.

5. Better resale value

6. Once its clean, its easier to keep clean.

7. Better awareness of the car's condition. Most detailers go over the car with the owner before doing the job.

8. Prevent possible problems down the road such as strange odors from spilled drinks etc.

Amen :clap:



Also a pro detail is a good way to prep for a big event - big date, car sale, home sale open house (curb appeal).
 
My 10 would be:



1. Increased pride in ownership.

2. Higher resale value

3. Clean interiors smell better

4. Clean interiors keep your clothes clean

5. Clean glass makes visibility better, especially at night

6. Professional detailers have the equipment, products and expertise needed to do the best job

7. Cost are small compared to the potential lost value of an undetailed car

8. Protects your paint, rubber and plastic trim

9. Your car will simply look better than even many brand new cars

10. Clean cars tend to stay clean longer
 
Entrepreneur Magzine says, “successful people drive clean cars�

Makes them feel confident.
 
One more if it's not too late- Ecological awareness. You shouldn't be flushing car wash soap/etc. down storm drains and most people don't have the proper sanitary drain setups.
 
Another thing previously alluded to is the clean engine - Allows you to see leaks sooner, so they can be addressed before they become something more major. Also, you'll know that it's a recent leak as opposed to guessing when it started leaking, or if it was just spilled fluid from the last change.

No one needs to be told here, that when we detail cars the Autopian way, people stop and stare at our workmanship. No matter if one is a Professional or a 16 year old, when you show up to work, (for those of you that use your vehicles for business) a date, meeting with a business client etc., your Clean detailed vehicle speaks volumes about you. Could mean the difference between getting the job/business/girl :bawling: or not.
 
It's all about the way people feel when they have their car professionally detailed.



Rather than talking too much about what detailing is all about, you may want to focus on the way people feel when they get their car detailed. It's like listening to your favorite music and then talking about all of the technical aspects of the music, rather than talking about the way listening to the music makes you feel.



Focus on people. Not detailing.

That would be one of my big points. When I ran my own remodeling business I always showed up in a clean truck for estimates and work if I could. You make such a better impression than the guy who does not care anything about cleanliness.
