Common Questions And Answers Regarding Detailing
Detailing is more than a typical cleaning job. It is a labor intensive process that involves machine polishing with nano-abrasives to remove surface defects. With the use of specialist equipment and products that would not be used at a typical car wash or dealership, we provide our clients with the absolute best finish and surface preservation possible. This type of detail-oriented service will leave your vehicle looking better than new. Our detailing procedures include some the following steps:
- Begin with a pre-wash with a Q2M Foam that decreases the amount of dirt that needs to be removed during the hand-washing process. This prevent swirls and marring of the finish.
- Hand-Washing using the three bucket method with a deionized water system, pH-neutral shampoo, and modern techniques to prevent swirls and marring of the finish.
- Multi-Stage, Single-Stage and Light Machine polishing processes.
- Treat with a very durable plastic restorer, if plastic is present.
- Wheels removed, and coated inside and out with a high-temperature metal and wheel formula.
- Apply a Q2 leather or vinyl hydrophobic coat to ensure a high level of protection against dirt, liquids and UV rays.
- Protective windshield coating application.
- Gyeon or Kamikaze glass paint coatings. These will add a deep gloss, make maintenance easier and make the vehicle's paint work hydrophobic. No natural waxes can compare to our level of protection or durability.
As you can see, it takes more than a quick wash to properly restore and protect your vehicle. It involves more time, expertise and products to bring out an average driver's vehicle to its full potential, whether they are preparing to sell it, or they desire a showroom look. At ESRprecision, we are about quality and modern processes…not quantity!
Increased value: Properly maintaining your vehicle's interior and exterior can increase its value. Over time, your vehicle's surface will experience harmful oxidation, swirls, light scratching, fading and a build up of contaminants. By having your car professionally detailed, you will restore it to its original radiance and attain long term preservation and protection. When comparing two vehicles in which one has been professionally detailed, and the other not, the difference in resale value is a multi-thousand dollar difference.
Protect your investment: Most vehicles depreciate in value rapidly, especially when neglected. When you drive the new vehicle away from the dealership, it will immediately lose value. Protect your investment by having it properly maintained by a professional service offered by ESRprecision. In order to get the most return on your investment, it is wise to have the appearance professionally maintained in order to retain as much value as possible.
Project a professional image: The condition of a vehicle can say a lot about the driver. Vehicles that are well-maintained not only make the driver feel good, but they give an image of confidence and professionalism!
WHAT CAUSES SWIRLS
Swirls are fine, thin spider web scratches all over the paint that reflect back with a diffused light and dull reflection. They are more noticeable on darker colored vehicles, and can easily be seen in direct sunlight or under streetlights. Improper washing and drying techniques with low quality towels or sponges are one of the main causes of swirls. Consequently, it would take hours of machine polishing to reverse the damage.
A surefire way to cause swirling on your vehicle is by putting it through an automated car wash. The point of a car wash is speed and efficiency, not quality and effectiveness. On average, any given car wash can have thousands of vehicles driven through it every year. As a result, the automated brushes and sponges that have touched these vehicles become contaminated with the rocks and dirt that were on every vehicle's surface. Then the low grade towels being reused to dry the vehicles rub the contaminants in deeper. It is only fitting that the machines are commonly called Swirl-O-Matics. Even if the local car wash or dealership offers a hand-wash, it doesn't mean that they are using proper methods or materials, and in many cases can do more harm than good.
It is very important to us that we educate our clients on how to maintain the new finish we have just provided. We will spend time on education after the service is complete, and even provide a detailed set of care instructions to help you maintain a clean and swirl-free finish.
HOW YOU CAN PREVENT SWIRLS
Swirls and damage can be prevented with proper washing and care techniques. Avoid aggressive rubbing and keep harsh objects from coming into contact with the surface of the paint as often as possible. Instead, be gentle when buffing, and use high grade, microfiber towels with premium quality products.
With ample correction experience, ESRprecision understands how to properly maintain your vehicle. This process takes time and advanced skills, and will produce amazing and sustainable results. ESRprecision uses professional detailing products and equipment on customers' vehicles to continually keep their vehicles swirl free.
HOW CAN I REMOVE SWIRLS
As you may know, different types of cars have different types of paint. They can be soft, hard, thin or thick. Each type of paint has a different reaction to damage, therefore require different methods of correction. This is where ESRprecision can help you. The process of paint correction is time consuming and requires a high level of expertise and knowledge.
HOW DO I SEE SWIRLS?
One needs to use the correct type of lighting and angles to be able to assess the swirls on the paint. With proper lighting during the paint correction process, one can see the fine spider webs scratches that can be hidden under different lighting circumstances. Most detailing shops think using long fluorescent lighting is enough to properly see the swirls in the paint. However, proper paint correction requires very focused lights, specific kelvins, and distances between the light and the surface. ESRprecision is equipped with multiple kelvins, lumens, and styles of lighting to expose all defects in the paint.
Why should your car just be another average, swirled up car on the road? Studies show that a swirl free and properly maintained vehicle is worth over 25% more! Properly restoring your vehicle can increase the value exponentially.

It is vital to your vehicle's protection and appearance to have a reliable paint protective coating. The paint on your vehicle's body, wheels and trim are constantly bombarded with harsh contaminants that can cause significant damage to your vehicle's overall appearance. Over time, these contaminants will reduce the gloss and clarity of the surfaces. Regular detailing to deep-clean these areas help to remove all of these contaminants that get onto the paint, and a wax is usually applied to prevent new contamination. Waxes are good, but often times they are not applied frequently enough to offer maximum protection. Most waxes will only provide a month of protection before another application is due. ESRprecision offers new technologies that significantly increase the durability of protection for approximately 18-36 months or longer.
These new technologies come in the form of semi-permanent coatings that provide the ultimate barrier between your paint, wheels and trim and the harsh elements that your car is exposed to. This will not only protect your vehicle's paint job, but the protective barrier will add more depth to the look of the paint, and will bring out the glossy look to its fullest potential.
Not only will these coatings provide a protective barrier, but they also add gloss and depth to the finish. Subsequently, cleaning your vehicle will be much easier since dirt and other contaminants won’t stick to the surface as easily. Whenever you wash your car, the paint will continuously have that “freshly waxed” look.
What are the benefits of coating?
- Produces an extreme protective barrier for up to 18-36+ months on paint, glass, wheels and trim.
- Creates an intense and deep gloss and shines like glass
- Extreme hydrophobic properties which produces a self-cleaning property to repel dust, dirt and mud. Ease of maintenance that keeps the surface cleaner longer than any traditional wax.
- Repels water, oils, dirt, and other contaminants
- Strong protection from UV rays
- Resists stains, bird droppings, water spots, and traffic film
- Resists high temperatures
- Contains nano particles creating an incredible reflective and hard surface film
- Can also be layered for increased protection
What Surfaces you can protect with exterior coating?
- Paint
- Wheels
- Metals
- Glass
- Trim
What are the Specifications?
- Durability: Approximately up to 12-36+ months to lifetime
- Water contact angle: 120°
- One layer: 1~2 Microns each
Less Cleaning, More Enjoying
- With a contact angle twice that of any wax, paint protective coatings will resist the bonding of water to the surface and create extremely round and noticeable beading. This also lends itself to how easy the coating is to maintain. Water will literally roll off of the surface.
Self Cleaning And Easy To Dry
- Dirt, dust, bird droppings, iron deposits, environmental contamination and bugs are no match for the dirt resistant properties of paint protective coatings. By maintaining a perfectly clean and swirl free finish, you will retain and even increase the value of your vehicle. In the years of having paint protective coatings on your vehicle, you will be saving money on detailing and waxing.
“Better than new” is very possible. Just because your car is fresh off of the dealer lot, does not mean it is in its best possible shape. Once vehicles are assembled and come out of factories, they are usually kept in lots for long periods of time before being delivered to dealerships. Then when it is time to bring them to the dealerships, they are transported across the country on trains and semi-trucks. During transport, the paint finish collects abrasive contaminants and small metals known as "rail dust". These contaminants get embedded into the paint finish and cause damage to the vehicle's appearance.
Upon arrival, the dealerships attempt to reverse the damage by simply running the vehicle's through the car wash. But since the contaminants are embedded into the finish, a wash does not properly clean the contaminants off of the vehicle. In fact, most dealership prep washes can cause further swirling and scratching to the paint finish.
Dealerships do not take the time or have the skill set to properly prepare, protect, and present your vehicle at its best level. The factory itself does not even take the time to bring out the most shine through fine and deliberate finish polishing
New vehicles also do not come with any protection on the paint, wheels, glass, or interior to keep these surfaces looking their best long term. The products and warranties they attempt to sell you in the Finance room are low budget and poorly installed. Their main design is to get you back in to the dealership service department where you can be sold additional maintenance.
