General Tips to Buy Auto Detailing Equipment



A simple search on the Internet would reveal a large number of websites that deal with auto detailing equipment. Different websites offer different products, with each website claiming that its product is the top machine for the job. You can find carpet cleaners, pressure washers, and steam cleaners promoted as the ideal machine for cleaning the vehicle. While it is true that all these machines are suitable, not a single machine can be termed as superior to the others.

In fact, different types of auto detailing equipment have different functions. Pressure washers are more suitable for cleaning the hard exterior surfaces and engine components. Carpet cleaners are best used for cleaning the soft interior surfaces of vehicles, such as seat upholstery and car mats.

This post offers some general tips to buy various kinds of auto detailing equipment.

Low Flow Machines
All customers want their vehicles immediately after cleaning. The bulk of the time required for car detailing is not spent in actual cleaning but is taken for drying the surface. If the surfaces dry up quickly, the vehicles can be quickly handed over to the customers. Machines equipped with low flow technology, such as Daimer's XTreme Power® carpet cleaners, pass low quantities of water to the surface. As a result, the vehicle surfaces dry up quickly.

Modest Power
Auto detailing equipment need not have a high output power. A high-pressure output can damage the soft surfaces of automobiles. Even pressure washers for cleaning vehicles should not have an output pressure higher than 1500 psi.
