The Premier Car Wash in Huntsville, AL
At Huntsville Auto Detailing, we understand that all vehicles are different. We also know that your life is hectic and you need assistance to care for your car better. Cars are a bit more complicated than kitchen appliances. They are complex machines that were constructed at the leading edge of the technology in their times. Manufacturers put a lot of effort into finding new ways to protect cars from the harshest of climates and elements - to make sure they work as well in the heat of the Arabian desert as they do on the Dalton highway. And work for years and years. Putting such a creation through an automated wash, at least for us, is sheer abuse. Huntsville Auto Detailing experts understand the gravity of car care and restoration. For that reason, we have devoted our lives to the business of automotive detailing. And we do it all by hand.

100% of Car Washes Performed by Hand
100% of Car Washes Performed by Hand
The first step in exterior detailing is a wash. We do our washes 100% by hand. We maintain that a hand wash is the only way to become familiar with a particular vehicle, and as a consequence, the only way to restore it properly. It is also the least harsh way to clean a car. To ensure that, we use mild soaps and only the softest microfiber cloths. We follow a two-bucket technique and use low-pressure washers to wash cars.
Human touch can reveal a lot about the history of the car - accidents, repairs, rust spots, maintenance. Our detailers are experts on automotive inspection, too. We believe in keeping things original. That's what we do before even touching the car. You can tell us everything about the vehicle and how you need it to be cleaned, and we'll make sure to take the best care of your vehicle. We might suggest repairs or closer inspection, if necessary. Our tips will help you keep your car on the road for as long as possible. Our work will keep your car in the most impeccable condition.

Stay Away from Harmful Automatic Car Washes
Stay Away from Harmful Automatic Car Washes
Automated car washes can worsen cracks in glass, too. Ask anyone who's got a cracked windshield. You can take a marker and mark the extremities of the fissure, which grows over time even if you do nothing to it. But even one car wash makes a noticeable difference. A problem that you may have ignored otherwise can quickly turn into an expensive repair, or worse, a shattered windshield.
Quick car washes hurt some vehicles in particular - convertibles and old cars. Manufacturing processes have only improved in the last two decades. Cars from the '70s were notorious for their build quality and short lifespan and bad paintwork even in their own time. Those vehicles, with their thinning paint and fading clear coat, don't deserve something as harsh as a power wash. Convertibles have problems with seals and leaks. Cars with frameless windows are especially susceptible in this regard.

Huntsville Auto hires and trains professionals to develop a sense for minute detail. We can spot chips in the glass or your paint and catch and arrest rust spots before they spiral into long-term issues. We can also catch bubbling paint and quarantine the spot until it is repaired. An automated car wash would just blow the paint off and reveal the surface to the elements.
Automated car washes also ignore one of the most important areas on your car - the underbody. That's the bit that gets the least protection and suffers the most wear. Many people understand that a layer of wax can keep their paint tidy. But the underbelly of a car gets layers upon layers of dirt and grime on it. Manufacturers coat the under carriage with a sealant, and some dealers can charge you extra for an underbody coating. Those layers get eroded, develop cracks, and stop working after 3-5 years. That's when things start to go downhill.
Underbelly rust can kill your car prematurely. Metal panels on the exterior, even when they rust out, only spoil the look of your car. But the underbody isn't made up of panels. That's the frame on which everything is mounted. A rusty frame can make your car fall apart. Such a thing can go undetected for years - you'll only know that the underbody is rusted when it fails. And the failure often happens in a crash. This is ironic because a crash is the most important time you need the frame to maintain its structural integrity - the deformation can save your life. Rusty frames don't deform - they fracture. And the force required for that is much less than what the engineers had designed the frame to withstand.
You might think 100% hand washes are too expensive. And you'll be right - just like fast food versus a salad dinner, hand washes are more expensive. But they are also less frequent. We advise our customers to get their car washed as little as possible - it is important to get rid of dirt and grime, and it is important to look clean. But the more a car is washed, the more the surface wear. More importantly, hand washes work better for you in the long run. If your car needs fewer repairs, you'll save hundreds of dollars over the lifetime of the car.

Hand washing is also something you can do yourself. We advise getting a check-in every few months with a professional detailer, but if you can take out some time once every few weeks to clean your ride, the time you spend doing it will not be wasted. A hand wash makes you appreciate the beauty of your car, and how the paint protects your car. It helps you form a relationship with the vehicle - to develop an understanding of the car and its condition. It also helps you closely watch the issues with the car. These are things that ultimately tell you how to inform us better. So work with us, and give us a call today.
Huntsville Auto Detailing experts will always inform and advise you to avoid certain situations that may harm your vehicle and suggest workarounds. For example, we might tell you not to use your weekend warrior when it's raining outside. This is a precautionary measure for damage that may result from water and grime getting on your bodywork or underbelly. Simple solutions for these issues may be rust repair and sealant reapplication.
Your dad may have been convinced that he was going to drive his Dodge Aspen until the wheels fell off. Modern cars are reliable and built for longevity. If you can prevent the wheels from falling off, the car can continue to serve you for decades. The best way to prevent problems, in the long run, is to keep an eye on small niggling issues. The trained eye of a professional is necessary for this. That's why you need a good, honest mechanic and good car care expert. Huntsville Auto Detailers will also check the fluids in your car and check other things on request. We have multi-point checks to perform ourselves if only to offer a second opinion.
Even if you don't wish to keep your car forever, our experts can help your car look good and be clean for you and your family to enjoy it. When the time comes to sell the car, the cleanliness will attract more buyers on craigslist. Some good pictures and a neat interior and shiny exterior can fetch the best prices. That way, the curse of depreciation will only be a dent rather than a blow to your pocket. It'll set high standards for your buyers and make sure the car goes to a good home.

One's car is as integral a part of their personality as their clothing or accessories. It's like a watch - perfect as long as it is working properly, and entirely useless when it stops. Cars are appliances, but they are also an expression. That's why it is imperative to keep them clean. It also works the other way round - if your car looks nice, that's how you feel about yourself. It's the difference between a worn T-shirt and a well-fitting, freshly dry-cleaned suit - they both work alright as covers for your body, but wearing them puts you in different moods.
But a lot of people only take as much care of their car as their shoes. They walk up to them in the morning, and if the shoes are dirty they would wipe them clean. In the same way, if the car is dirty in the morning, most people would just take out 15 minutes of their commuting time to go to a quick car wash. But in the same way that fast food hits the spot but wreaks havoc on your body, an automated car wash is a harrowing experience for your car, and it takes years off the life of the car. How? The beatings and the wayward jets get in a lot of places where they shouldn't, and all it takes is one bad seal to cause an electrical problem. Then there's the issue of rust. Automated car washes will almost always worsen rust on your car. They can take off loose and bubbling paint, exposing affected areas to even more water and oxidation.
