It's All In The Details

There are many terms in the automotive detailing industry, sometimes resulting in confusion or disappointment as you didn't receive what you expected or were hoping for. Below is a list of advanced mobile detailing services that Podium provides. Each with a full description should help you make an informed decision on what will serve your needs best.

Wash and Wax

Harvested and refined from palm trees (Copernicia Prunifera), Carnauba wax repels water from the leaves so it drips off and is absorbed by the roots. Consequently, this does the same for your vehicle! Waxing creates a barrier between the clear coat and nature, thereby repelling water and most road contaminants you encounter in day to day driving. As opposed to the glass like finish that a sealant will achieve, Carnauba wax creates more of a warm glow to the finish. It also protects from UV rays, heat, moisture, and oxidation. A wax application will last approximately 6-8 weeks in the glorious yet unpredictable weather of the North Shore. After the vehicle is dried, Carnauba Wax is applied one panel at a time via dual action polisher. This is a great way to get a beautiful, warm shine and a protective coat all in one service. *This stage does not involve any compounding or cutting*

Machine Cut Polishing

Cut polishing removes a thin, top layer of clear coat allowing for the removal of sun fade, oxidation, surface imperfections, swirl marks, holograms (if any) and scratches. This is the foundation for a brilliant shine on any vehicle. No to be confused with the sealant and waxing stage, where you are adding a level of protection to the paint system. Polishing rids the car's surface of everything that takes a way from the vehicles natural beauty. An important term to remember when it comes to cut polishing is "Accuracy of Reflection." Dramatically improving this is how you bring your vehicles paint system back to life!
