Image Blog Details

Owning an exotic car is more than just a status symbol; it's a testament to your appreciation for high-performance vehicles, superior craftsmanship, and luxurious design. When you invest in such a masterpiece, regular maintenance and care are crucial to preserve its value and aesthetic appeal. Professional detailing is one of the most effective ways to maintain your exotic car's pristine condition. In San Diego, our skilled mobile car detailing service offers unparalleled convenience and quality. SD Select will help you preserve your car's curb appeal, maintain the quality of its interior, and overall enhance both performance and longevity of the vehicle.

Preserving the Aesthetic Appeal

Exotic cars are renowned for their stunning design and flawless finishes. However, exposure to the elements, road debris, and everyday wear and tear can take a toll on their appearance. Professional detailing ensures that your car's exterior and interior remain in impeccable condition. From thorough washing and waxing to paint correction and ceramic coating, our expert detailers use specialized products and techniques to protect and enhance your vehicle's aesthetic appeal.

Protecting the Paintwork

The paintwork on exotic cars is often one of their most striking features. However, it is also one of the most vulnerable aspects. Without proper care, the paint can fade, chip, or develop swirl marks and scratches. Professional detailers have the expertise to perform paint correction, which involves removing imperfections and restoring the paint to its original glory. Additionally, they can apply protective coatings, such as ceramic coating or clear bra, to shield the paint from UV rays, contaminants, and minor abrasions.

Maintaining the Interior Luxury

The interior of an exotic car is a shrine to luxury, featuring premium materials such as leather, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. These materials require specialized care to prevent wear and tear, fading, and cracking. Our professional detailers have access to high-quality products and tools to clean, condition, and protect the interior surfaces, ensuring they remain pristine. From deep cleaning the carpets and upholstery to treating the leather seats and polishing the trim, professional detailing keeps the interior looking and feeling luxurious.

Enhancing Performance and Longevity

Regular detailing enhances the appearance of your exotic car and contributes to its performance and longevity. Contaminants such as dirt, grime, and brake dust can accumulate on various components, affecting their functionality and efficiency. Professional detailers thoroughly clean the wheels, brakes, engine bay, and other critical areas, ensuring your car operates at its best. Maintaining a clean and well-protected vehicle can extend its lifespan and maximize its resale value.

Expertise and Experience

Detailing an exotic car requires a high level of expertise and experience. Our detailers at San Diego Select are skilled with high-end vehicles and offer a number of services. We deeply understand the materials, finishes, and components that make exotic cars unique. With our knowledge and skills, we can provide meticulous care and attention to detail, ensuring that your car receives the best possible treatment.

Protecting Your Investment

Exotic cars are a significant investment; proper maintenance is essential to protect their value. Professional detailing enhances the appearance and performance of your car and helps to preserve its value. A well-maintained exotic car with a flawless exterior and luxurious interior commands a higher resale price. By investing in regular professional detailing, you are safeguarding your investment and ensuring that your car remains in top condition for years to come.

But Why Go Mobile?

In today's fast-paced world, finding the time to take your exotic car to a detailing shop can be challenging. SD Select's professional mobile detailing in San Diego comes to the rescue.

Will was AMAZING! My car needed full interior detailing from rain getting inside this winter, and it hadn’t been fully cleaned in years. He scheduled me ASAP and was super thorough when going over the process. He picked up the car from me and brought it back quicker than expected so I didn’t have to go anywhere, and it looked new on the inside. It had a new car scent and all the seats and floors that were damaged from rain/dirt were totally clean. I’m so happy with the services and feel like it’s a different car now - I would recommend him to anyone in SD :) !! Thank you so much!!

Had an amazing experience with San Diego Select Detailing. They did a fantastic and thorough job of detailing my new car after it was transported from a dealership in another state, and also detailed two other vehicles at our household (one of which had laundry detergent spilled in the trunk). Each car came out looking fantastic. They come fully equipped to do a professional level detail job at the location of your choosing, which was very convenient. Can't wait to use their services again.

I had Hyundai Elantra detailed before gifting it to my sister. Will and Ed were able to accommodate me same day which was really nice of them. The fact that they come to you is also very convenient.The car looked as good as the day I bought it from the dealership. My sister was so stoked. She was beaming the whole three hours we were handling insurance and DMV stuff

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Detail My Car?

Perfection & Protection.

Frustrated with everything that the car wash leaves behind?
Does your paint not shine like it used to?
In love with your car and want to preserve your investment for the long term?

That is why we are here. Not only do we leave you with flawless results, but we make sure that your paint, leather, and other materials are protected for years to come. We will treat your car (and you) like one of our own.

Do I need a "Shampoo Treatment"?

The shampoo and hot water extraction is the best possible care for your FABRIC seats.

We will bathe your seats in thick foam shampoo, agitate it with a fabric brush attachment on a drill, and then extract all the grime, dirt, stains and contaminant from the seats with hot water at 210ºF. If your seats need a refresh, this is as good as it gets. Because the service takes 45 minutes on average, and only a small percent of vehicles need it we charge extra for it. Don't worry - its only $50 extra. Totally worth it.

Will My Scratch "Buff Out"?

Do you have any little scrapes and scratches that bother you?

We can handle it.. to an extent. We are polishing experts - so if the scratch isn't too deep, we can get it out. Ever heard of "The Fingernail Test", this is a great way to know if your scratches are fixable. If you feel the scratch will your fingernail and you can feel a groove in the paint, it it probably a little bit too deep ~in the sections where the groove is~

What is a "Clay Bar"?

A clay bar is exactly what it sounds like, a little ball of malleable puddy.

This is used in the decontamination phase of the detail to prepare your paint for protection. Clay Bar Detailing is essential for preparing your vehicle's paint for protection by ensuring it is free of contaminants.

Every exterior detail has 3 phases: 1. Wash 2. Decontaminate 3. Protect. The decontamination stage is responsible for removing from the paint everything that doesn't come off from the wash.

Remember when you bought your car and the paint was smooth to the touch? That is the goal of this stage. Remove all the crusty junk that is stuck to you paint. This way, when we apply sealant (protection) to your paint it will adhere to the paint itself, rather than the junk sitting on the surface. This will give the sealant its longest possible useful life.

Why "Wax" My Car?

For the same reason that you get an oil change. Engines are expensive to replace (8-15K) so we take good care of them. So is your paint - the average paint job costing around $5,000. If you don't protect your paint with some type of ceramic, wax, or sealant, your paint WILL fail.

In San Diego, our biggest enemy is the sun, or the salt if you live near the beach. Next time you are in a big parking lot, look around at the hoods of the vehicles. You will notice around 1/6 vehicles have completely delaminated clear coat.

That means the paint looks like dead skin on the surface and you could peel it off with you fingers. Not pretty. There is a simple solution to ensure your vehicle never ends up like this. Exterior Detailing. Bonus points for a ceramic coating with is the best protection possible.
