Common DIY Detailing Mistakes We See

It’s much easier to keep a vehicle looking great when it’s maintained regularly. A lot of people mean well when trying to care for their cars, but from what we see in the shop, small missteps often lead to bigger problems.

Washing and Drying the Wrong Way

A really common issue we run into is how folks wash their cars. Low-quality mitts, worn-out rags, or using old towels might seem harmless, but they actually have rough fibers that leave tiny swirl marks in the paint.

As that pattern repeats week after week, the surface keeps getting more scratched up. Over time, those swirls stack up, and your paint loses both its depth and gloss.

Holograms After Poor Buffing

The goal with polishing is always to improve the paint—but when the wrong tools or pads get used, it tends to do the opposite. We’ve seen plenty of vehicles with good intentions behind them but poor polishing jobs.

That usually shows up as holograms—those weird smears or wave-like marks that don’t wipe off. It’s common when a rotary polisher is misused. They’re not always bad, but without proper technique, they can ruin the final look.

Overspray Damage

Run your hand across the paint and feel a gritty texture? Spot tiny white or black dots? That’s likely paint overspray. It happens when paint particles from a nearby project drift onto your vehicle without warning. It’s frustrating—especially when you didn’t do anything to cause it.

A lot of people try to fix this themselves and end up using really abrasive tools like steel wool or harsh scrub pads. That creates deep scratches and doesn’t even solve the problem. The overspray sticks around and now the clear coat is damaged.

Bugs and Bird Droppings

They might look harmless at first, but bugs and droppings can be surprisingly destructive. If they sit too long, they’ll actually start to eat into the surface of your paint.

You may need to polish or even sand those marks out once they set. And sometimes, even with all that effort, the damage sticks around for good. A simple wash early on can save you a lot of trouble later.

Tips for Choosing a Reliable Detailer in Arcade, NY

Choosing the right shop can make a huge difference in your car’s look and long-term value. Here’s what to keep in mind when picking a professional detailer:

Read Online Reviews: Start with Google reviews or social media recommendations. A solid local detailer will have a track record of happy customers and consistent results.

Ask About Services: Make sure the shop offers everything you’re looking for, from ceramic coatings to full interior details. Experience in those services ensures better protection and results.

Look for a Clean Shop: A tidy, well-equipped shop says a lot about the care they’ll give your vehicle. If their work area is organized, it’s a good sign they’ll treat your ride with respect.

Check Availability: Great shops tend to book out quickly. If they’re booked for a few days, that’s often a good thing, it means others trust them with their cars, too.

Local Reputation: A hometown shop that’s been around for a while is more likely to stand behind their work. Support local businesses and benefit from that small-town accountability.

FAQs

Popular Auto Detailing FAQs

Where are you located?

We’re based in Arcade, NY. You’ll bring your vehicle to our shop for all services. We’ll go over everything once you arrive and let you know when your car will be ready.

How do I pay?

We accept all major cards, cash, and mobile payments like Zelle or Venmo. Payment is due at pickup, and we’ll provide an invoice for every job.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes, we work by appointment to make sure every customer gets our full attention. You can call, text, or book online through our website.

How long does a detail take?

It depends on the service. A full interior detail might take a few hours, while paint correction and coating could take most of the day. We’ll give you an accurate estimate when you book.

What should I do before bringing the car in?

Try to remove personal items from the cabin and trunk. This helps us clean more thoroughly and keeps your belongings safe during the detail.

How often should I get my vehicle detailed?

The more you use the vehicle, especially if it’s a work vehicle, will require more on-going maintenance to keep it in good condition. So if you have a garage queen that goes out maybe once or twice a month, there’s probably not much you need to do. Whereas if you have a family van that gets 500 miles a week, it’ll see more wear and tear. 

Why shouldn’t I just go to the car wash?

A tunnel wash is super convenient, quick, and easy. But the felt strips in a tunnel type car wash will put swirl marks and light scratches into the surface of your paint. You may also notice that your wheels aren’t exactly clean, generally leaving behind large spots of dust.

Do you offer same-day detail service?

Yes, if our schedule is open and we’re able to do same-day appointments, we definitely can! Give us a call or submit a form and we’ll see if we can get you in same-day.
