Why?

You spend most of your time inside your vehicle.  The environment you are driving in needs to be clean and fresh to make your commuting comfortable and safe, especially for children or those with allergies or sensitivity to dust and odours.

Why Final Inspection?

Final Inspection incorporates the latest technology in Interior Car Detailing. Our tradespeople are trained and updated on all types of materials including hides, plastics, vinyls, fabrics, Alcantara® and the strict processes to treat these materials – properly. We are the only detailing service in Australia to incorporate Dry Steam Cleaning into vehicle Detailing.

How often should I have my Interior Detailed?
 
Every vehicle is slightly different.  The amount of traffic is going to determine how often you should have it detailed. A vehicle that transports children and/or is used very frequently will need to be detailed more often. A good rule for cleaning is between 4 to 8 months depending on these factors.

Our Fabric Cleaning Process – Dry Steam Cleaning

Frequent Dry Steam Cleaning greatly reduces the level of dust mites, which trigger asthma and allergy attacks.
Final Inspection does not use any chemical to Dry Steam Clean Fabric. Stains (if apparent) may have to be treated and the chemical is entirely extracted.

Dry Steam Cleaning Benefits

Another issue related to carpet cleaning is the potential for mould growth in carpets that do not dry quickly enough. Steam cleaning carpets can thoroughly dampen the carpet AND the pad underneath. In humid or poorly ventilated spaces, a steam-cleaned carpet is an invitation for mould spores to sprout. Once mould begins to grow in a carpet or its pad, it's impossible to remove adequately. The spores and particles will be embedded and will make the removal process more difficult.  Even when mould is not actively growing, mould particles and spores can cause health problems, such as fatigue, headaches, allergy symptoms, asthma attacks and other breathing problems.

We thoroughly clean the same area several times, especially in high traffic areas, to get all of the dirt and dust.

Carpets tend to get moldy easily because they can take a long time to dry. During the time a carpet stays wet, mold spores are opportunistic, feasting on the moisture locked in the carpet's fibers and pad. The key to preventing mould damage is keeping mould and moisture levels low

Our Upholstery tools:
 
These tools are extremely helpful when it comes to cleaning. We can control the pressure of steam and extraction with our machine to be kind to your fabrics and to efficiently clean with out damaging fabrics. Our wands are also made with soft rounded edges so they do not damage fabric.

We also have special tools to take care of the most hard to reach sections which are usually the most important areas as they usually aren’t vacuumed properly because they are hard to get to.

How long will it take for my carpets & seats (if fabric) to dry?
 
Depending on how soiled your carpets are will determine the amount of time needed to dry. Our Dry Steam process leaves fabrics touch dry in 1 minute, completely dry in 30 minutes.

Should I have my fabrics protected?
 
Your fabric performance depends on protection. Protecting them will greatly prolong the life of your carpet. On a minimum you should protect your carpets every year.

Should you vacuum before we service your vehicle?

No. That is the beauty of having your car detailed by Final Inspection. We will service the car from start to finish.  Any loose items inside the vehicle will be neatly placed into a box and stored in the boot.
