Detailing the Raddest Cars in Austin, Car Beautiful Mobile Detail.

by carbeautiful

Usually, we detail family SUVs and trucks, but every once in a while, we get the opportunity to work on some of the most rad cars in Austin—the ones that were posters on children’s walls growing up. The cars that inspired us like Ferraris Porsches. It’s always a thrill to give these iconic vehicles the care and attention they deserve!

Sometimes, the cars we detail can get a little dull. Don’t get us wrong—we always appreciate every customer who uses our services, but after detailing so many Lexus SUVs and Chevy Suburbans, they can start to blend together. With the same colors and similar styles, it’s easy for them to look like just another vehicle in a long line of the same. While we love providing top-notch care to all kinds of vehicles, it’s always refreshing to have a bit of excitement in our car detailing schedule when we get to work on something truly unique or high-performance that really stands out.

Here are two vehicles that have really stood out and brightened our days!

1987 Ferrari 328

The 1987 Ferrari 328 is a true icon, not just for Ferrari fans, but for an entire generation of pop culture. This stunning sports car became widely recognized, especially thanks to its starring role in the hit TV show Magnum P.I. Driven by Tom Selleck’s character, Thomas Magnum, the Ferrari 328 became synonymous with the show’s cool, adventurous vibe. The car wasn’t just a piece of luxury engineering; it was an integral part of the show’s identity, adding to the allure and charm of the series. For many, the Ferrari 328 remains an unforgettable symbol of 80s pop culture, blending sleek design with the thrill of the open road and the excitement of TV stardom. We are grateful to always be the ones detailing this fine machine, so when the owner does it take it out, its looking its best!

1996 Porsche 911 Carrera

The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera is the dream Porsche to end all Porsches. With its timeless design, unmatched performance, and legacy, it’s a car that every enthusiast can appreciate. This particular model holds a special place in the hearts of Porsche lovers, representing the perfect blend of classic styling and modern engineering. And let’s talk about that incredible color—there’s something mesmerizing about seeing this beauty in its rich, vibrant shade. The Porsche 911 Carrera is not just a car; it’s an experience, one that captures the essence of driving perfection. Best of all, we have the honor of detailing this fine machine, which always brightens our day as well as the owner of the vehicle. 

In conclusion, we absolutely enjoy detailing cars all across Austin, but it’s always a special treat when we get the chance to work on true icons. Whether you’re driving a performance car, a family SUV, or something else entirely, we want to be the ones to detail it. We offer a full range of detailing services, treating your car with the utmost care and pride, ensuring it looks its best every time. Whether we come to your driveway for a mobile detail or you drop it off at our shop in Lakeway, we’ll make sure your vehicle is ready to shine. No matter the car, we take pride in providing top-quality service to every customer.

If you like having your car detailed, you will love having it protected.

Detailing a car is a crucial step in maintaining its appearance, but ensuring long-term protection to keep it looking its best is just as important. 

While a thorough clean can enhance your vehicle’s shine and remove surface grime, providing a protective layer helps preserve that pristine look and makes future detailing much easier. By investing in advanced protection methods, you can shield your car from environmental hazards and daily wear and tear. Here are two effective ways to safeguard your vehicle, making it easier to maintain its immaculate appearance and reducing the effort required for future detailing sessions.

Paint Protection Film

If you truly want to safeguard your vehicle’s exterior from the harsh elements and maintain its pristine condition, investing in paint protection film (PPF) or ceramic coating is a wise choice. Paint protection film offers a robust shield against road debris, scratches, and environmental contaminants. Made from a durable, self-healing material, PPF absorbs impacts and can even repair minor scratches on its own. This nearly invisible layer not only keeps your car looking flawless but also preserves its resale value by protecting the paint from chips and fading. The film is particularly effective in high-traffic areas like the front bumper and hood, where damage is most common.

Ceramic Coating

On the other hand, ceramic coating provides a long-lasting, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and stains. This advanced technology creates a strong chemical bond with your vehicle’s paint, offering unparalleled protection against UV rays and chemical etching. The coating makes washing your car easier, as contaminants slide off with minimal effort, and enhances the depth and shine of the paint. While both options offer exceptional protection, the choice between PPF and ceramic coating depends on your specific needs and preferences. Whichever you choose, these solutions ensure your vehicle remains in top condition, maintaining its aesthetic appeal and value for years to come.

Don’t Waste Time Detailing a Big SUV.

by carbeautiful

Detailing Takes Time, Especially Big SUVs.

Proper car detailing is a meticulous process that demands time and attention to achieve exceptional results. When it comes to SUVs, this task becomes even more time-consuming due to their larger size and intricate design. Every corner, curve, and surface of an SUV requires thorough detailing. 

Who has time to detail?

The number one reason we often hear for vehicles getting incredibly dirty and going a long time without a wash is simply due to lack of time. We understand how easy it is for a vehicle to be put on the back burner amidst busy schedules. This challenge becomes even more pronounced with SUVs because the detailing process for larger vehicles is more time-consuming and labor-intensive. From the thorough cleaning of the interior to the meticulous hand-washing and waxing of the exterior, every step in the detailing process demands significant time and effort. At our mobile detailing service, we recognize the importance of convenience and efficiency, offering comprehensive services that cater to busy lifestyles without compromising on quality. 

Detailing the Interior of a Giant SUV is a Big Undertaking.

SUVs are often the go-to choice for families, serving as the primary vehicle for transporting loved ones and cargo alike. With ample space and versatility, these vehicles frequently accumulate three rows of clutter and trash over time. At Car Beautiful, we’ve witnessed it all – from toys and snacks in the back seats to forgotten items tucked away in the back cargo area. Our detailing specialists understand the unique challenges posed by family SUVs and are adept at restoring order to the interior. 

We Will Detail Your Giant SUV!

At Car Beautiful, we’re dedicated to providing convenient and top-quality detailing services for your SUV, saving you significant time and effort.

Navigating the Flood of Automated Neighborhood Car Washes

by carbeautiful

In recent years, automated machine car washes have proliferated, seemingly popping up on every corner like modern-day watering holes for vehicles. Their presence is undeniable, lining highways, nestled in suburban neighborhoods, and occupying the parking lots of gas stations. Yet, amidst their ubiquity, a pressing question lingers: are they truly effective, or merely a superficial gesture that leaves car owners feeling productive but ultimately dissatisfied? 

Here are three reasons why these automated car washes are not the best option. 

1.Surface-Level Clean

They will make your car look good… from a distance. Automated car washes typically focus on quickly blasting away surface dirt and grime. However, they may struggle to remove stubborn contaminants or reach into crevices where dirt accumulates, resulting in a less thorough clean compared to hand washing.

2. Abundance Doesn't Equal Quality

Despite the allure of free vacuums and flashy facilities, having an automated car wash on every corner doesn’t guarantee superior cleaning. Often, these establishments prioritize speed over thoroughness, aiming to get you in and out as quickly as possible, potentially sacrificing the meticulous care your vehicle deserves. If your car is very dirty and in need of a thorough clean, you’ll likely find yourself needing to run it through the car wash twice for a decent result. 

3. Lack of Personalization

Automated car washes follow a standardized cleaning process, which may not cater to the specific needs of your vehicle. They can’t adjust their methods based on factors like paint type, condition, or any custom modifications your car may have, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that may not yield optimal results.

As the sight of a meticulously detailed car in the driveway becomes increasingly rare, the convenience of neighborhood automated car washes may seem tempting. However, at Car Beautiful, we defy the norm. We bring the detailing experience directly to your doorstep, eschewing the quick fixes of automated washes for a meticulous, showroom-quality clean. Our dedication goes beyond surface-level shine, ensuring every nook and cranny is attended to, leaving your vehicle truly refreshed and rejuvenated. With Car Beautiful, it’s not just about cleaning—it’s about bringing out the best in your car, inside and out.

Motorcycle DIY Detailing

by carbeautiful

Even though we are more than happy to detail your motorcycle for you here are some tricks of the trade. Maintaining your motorcycles luster and shine after a detailing can be tricky. Learning the upkeep on your motorcycle will keep it looking like the pros detail it every weekend.

Before you start make sure you are in a comfortable shady location and the engine is completely cooled down. First, remove the seat and leather saddlebags. Then cover the battery with plastic sheeting and seal off the exhaust pipe(s).

Next, you will want to do a preliminary wash to remove and surface level dirt or grime. After the preliminary wash use a microfiber towel and your preferred car washing soap and start scrubbing. You want to pay close attention to all the nooks and crannies making sure to get into any hard to reach surfaces. Areas with set-in grease may not come out so easily with car washing soap. For these areas you will need to use a special de-greasing cleaning agent. Once you have the bike fully scrubbed down make sure to hand towel dry right away to prevent any hard water spots from appearing.

Then you will want to work on your tires, dash, and windshield. These areas will need a little extra TLC. While working on the tires we suggest you use a small scrub brush or toothbrush to get all the hard to reach places removing any dirt, grime, or build-up in and around the wheels. After that we suggest using a gentle leather cleaner and conditioner on your dash, then polish immediately after that. You will want to take a little extra care on the windshield, but over all same technique. Clean, rinse, polish, and immediately dry your windshield for a beautiful transparent view.

This is your best bet for maintaining your motorcycle’s detail in-between getting it professionally done. When it’s time to bring it to a pro, give us a call. (512)924-4545.

Why wax?

by carbeautiful

Cars are very needy creatures. They need consistent maintenance, gas, oil, tires, the list goes on and on. But one thing many car-owners neglect is their exterior wax.

Car wax provides an essential protective layer on the paint of your car. It shields the soft paint from bird poop, calcified rain, tree sap and sun damage.

Carnuba car wax is typically derived from a palm leaf, and is a naturally occurring substance that is used to provide a protective layer and sleek finish to an automobile. However there are other options that my fit your needs better than traditional Carnuba.

We suggest using a polymer sealant on your car after a detail. It’s a synthetic wax that typically lasts a little longer than your Carnuba alternatives. This needs to be reapplied with a detail every three months to maintain protection.

We offer mobile service all over town and can take care of this for you! Give us a call!

Happy 4th of July!

by carbeautiful

The 4th of July means hotdogs, fireworks and most importantly time at the lake! This week we kept busy getting everyone’s toys ready to party this weekend.

We had an amazing black-sparkle Centurion come in for a full exterior detail and ceramic coating, a gorgeous Malibu 22LSV do a full exterior detail and ceramic coating, tower and window coating and a unique McLaren sports car do a detail and 5-year coating as well!

Our shop was hustle and bustle all week long but we managed to get everything done by the deadline so our staff can enjoy our 4th on the lake with our clients!

Take a look at these works of art. We had so much fun working on them this week. Next week is going to be even busier!

A week of sports cars!

by carbeautiful

This week we had some GORGEOUS sports cars come through our doors! New or old, it doesn’t really matter, the care taken during their time here is the same.

These cars were both in pretty good shape, but needing a full detail and single stage polish. We also ceramic coated them!

Sometimes we use our cars so much that they become a tool to us rather than a toy, it’s important to remember the joy and the rush of seeing that gorgeous car for the first time and care for them as such!
