We are a Des Moines based detailing company providing optimal car care to ensure you drive away with a car that looks brand new inside and out. The best part about our business is that we are mobile! We guarantee fast and professional service.
Here at 515 Mobile Detailing, we get asked a lot of questions. There is one question that keeps popping up, however: “What is the difference between car detailing and car washing?”
We realize that for most non-car enthusiasts, the difference probably isn’t very significant. However, all car owners, enthusiasts or not, should look at getting their car fully detailed every so often, and should also perform smaller details regularly to have their car looking at its best all the time.
So, to help our customers understand the many benefits of car detailing, also known as auto-detailing, we are going to outline what you can expect when you choose to have your car detailed. Trust us when we say that you’ll never go back to normal washing!
Exterior Car Detailing
We begin with an exhaustive exterior wash to remove as much dirt as possible. By allowing the soap to foam, dirt and mud are softened and lifted off the surface.
Next, using special brushes and wheel cleaning products, the detailer takes off all the dust and filth from the wheels; brake calipers, lug nuts, etc. The wheels are usually the dirtiest parts of the car!
After the wheels have been cleaned, the paintwork is washed and dried from top to bottom using washing mitts and soft microfiver towels The paintwork is then clayed using Automotive clay bar/ can be synthetic or spray solutions that removes the tightly bonded dirt of the surface of the car, which is your car’s clear coat.
If required, the paint is polished to eliminate any light scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks. The paint can be polished by hand or by a polishing machine. This can be the most time-consuming part of the detailing service depending on the car and the state of its paintwork.
Finally, the paint is waxed to give it an additional protective layer using high-quality carnauba based paste wax. This added protection results in a noticeable shine too, the kind that you saw when you first bought it!
The remaining exterior parts, like the windows and other rubber parts, are then polished and methodically cleaned, adding the finishing touches in all the corners of the car’s body and exterior trim to make the entire car spark.
Interior Car Detailing
All of the upholstery inside the car is thoroughly vacuumed and shampooed to remove stains and dirt. If the car has leatherwork, this is often conditioned and scrubbed to remove dirt that is deeply ingrained. Plastics and vinyl are also properly cleaned and dressed.
Lastly, the interior glass is also cleaned and polished.
Attention to Detail
Since detailing is an incredibly thorough process, you can expect the detailer to meticulously assess every crevice of your car to suggest customized solutions. You will not get this kind of personalized service at a car wash.

About Us
In 2006, I did my first detail for a family member. Later, I started detailing for my friends. Before I knew it I was in the car cleaning industry for 13 years.
After many years in the industry, I saw a high need for a clean car but less time to take it to a shop and wait for it to get done.
After much thought, I came up with the idea to make a business where people didn’t have to take time out of their day to get their car cleaned but instead we would come to them.
Now we offer our services anywhere in Des Moines and surrounding areas, West Des Moines, Ankeny, and Ames. We are available to come to your home, office, or work.
515 Mobile Detailing is much more than a simple detail company, we are car enthusiasts that love cars and want to take care of you and your car.
