Common Detailing Myths That Damage Your Car

Many car owners unknowingly damage their vehicles by following common detailing myths.

One myth is that stronger cleaners work better. In reality, harsh chemicals break down materials and remove protective coatings.

Another myth is that shiny equals clean. Many glossy interior sprays attract dust and accelerate surface degradation.

Some believe detailing is only cosmetic. Skipping regular care allows contamination and wear to build up faster.

There is also the belief that DIY cleaning is always safer. Using household products often causes discoloration and residue buildup.

Finally, many think detailing is unnecessary for older vehicles. This leads to accelerated wear and lower resale value.

In Ormond Beach, these myths are especially damaging due to heat, humidity, and coastal conditions.

Proper detailing is based on technique, product choice, and prevention, not shortcuts or trends. You can book a professional detail today here.
