Car detailing can work wonders on minor and some moderate scratches, significantly improving a vehicle's appearance. However, for deep scratches, especially those revealing the primer or metal, or for extensive surface damage, professional bumper repair services are recommended.

In conclusion, professional car detailing services are expensive due to the quality materials used, skilled technicians, time-consuming process, specialized equipment, and location. However, the end result is a well-maintained and visually stunning vehicle that provides long-lasting protection and value.

The standard tip for a car detailing service is 15%. If you're not sure how much to give, best practice is 10-15% of the total cost. For example if an auto detail costs $100 then leave a dollar or two as thanks (and because it's still technically called "tipping").

Car detailing is a comprehensive and meticulous process of cleaning, restoration, and protection of a vehicle, both inside and out. It goes beyond a regular car wash and involves thorough cleaning, polishing, and waxing to restore the vehicle's appearance and protect it from environmental damage.
