Products:
Microfiber Technology:
Five Diamond San Diego Car Detailers use only the best available car detailing products to bring your
vehicle to a showroom shine. We exclusively use microfiber wash mitts,
polishing bonnets, and towels. Comparatively, microfibers are two times
finer than silk, three times finer than cotton, eight times finer than wool,
and over 100 times finer than human hair. Microfiber technology virtually
eliminates any chance of scratching or damaging your cars paint or clear coats.
Detailing Clay:
Our preferred method of removing airborne pollutants such as brake dust, rain deposits, and industrial fallouts is claying. Other contaminants may include tar, sap, and bug/insect splatter. How does claying work? Anything that protrudes above the top coat surface will be grabbed by the clay and pulled out. Once clayed, the paint will feel remarkably smooth and have that shine that comes with perfectly clean paint.
Clay was invented in Japan in the late 1980s to remove over spray and minor
flaws from freshly painted vehicles at body shops. The only method of dealing
with surface imperfections in the states before claying was compounding,
which does remove tiny layers of clear coat every time you do it. Contrary
to compounding, claying is non-abrasive and does not harm the paint; we
perform this step right before hand waxing, ensuring a brilliant showroom
shine.
Carnauba Wax:
What is Carnauba Wax? It is the hardest natural wax available, harvested from the leaves and buds of the Brazilian "Tree of Life" (Copernica Cerifera), also known as the wax palm. We exclusively use carnauba wax because it is the highest quality wax money can buy and will leave your car with a brilliant longer lasting shine for maximum protection.

Hot Water Extractor :
Our carpet extractor heats carpet cleaning solution to 210 degrees, enabling it to break down the oils that bond dirt, odors, and contaminates to carpet fibers. Solution is applied at 100 psi and reclaimed with its powerful 3-stage vacuum, leaving your carpets and upholstery spotless and smelling fresh.
Environmentally Safe Practices:
We at Five Diamond Detailers pride ourselves on using environmentally-friendly soaps and chemicals and we strictly comply with all of California’s waste water reclamation laws. This practice keeps the workplace tidy, protects you as the consumer, and allows us to do our part in keeping our oceans, beaches, and bays clean and beautiful for all.
