You have already had your car washed and the interior vacuumed, but the headlights still look yellow, the engine bay is coated in oil and dust, and there is a smell in the cabin that never fully goes away no matter how many air fresheners you hang. These are the issues that basic detailing does not always cover, and they are the kinds of problems that stand out when you are trying to sell a vehicle, impress a client, or just feel better about what you drive around Chico every day.
Vince's Auto Detailing offers add-on services that focus on specific cosmetic and functional concerns. These include engine bay cleaning to remove grease and grime, trim restoration to bring back color to faded plastic, headlight restoration to clear up cloudy lenses, and odor removal to eliminate smells from smoke, pets, or spills. Each service uses professional-grade products and techniques designed to handle issues that over-the-counter solutions cannot fix. You can bundle these add-ons with a full detailing package or request them individually if you only need certain areas addressed.
If your vehicle has one or more problem areas that need attention in Chico, contact Vince's Auto Detailing to discuss which add-on services will make the biggest difference.
What Each Add-On Service Actually Does
Engine bay cleaning in Chico involves degreasing the engine block, battery terminals, hoses, and surrounding components, then wiping down surfaces to remove buildup that collects from road spray and heat. Trim restoration applies a conditioning treatment to plastic bumpers, door handles, and mirror housings that have turned gray or chalky from sun exposure. Headlight restoration uses a polishing compound and sealant to remove the oxidized layer on plastic lenses, which restores clarity and improves nighttime visibility.
After these services are completed, your engine bay looks cleaner and easier to inspect, trim pieces return to a darker, more even color, and headlights cast a brighter, more focused beam. The difference is visible immediately and holds up better than temporary fixes you might try at home.
Odor removal targets smells embedded in upholstery, carpets, and ventilation systems. This process uses an ozone generator or enzymatic cleaner depending on the source of the odor, whether it is from smoke, pets, mildew, or food spills. The service does not mask smells with fragrance but removes the particles causing them. Add-ons do not include mechanical repairs, electrical work, or paint correction, but they do address the cosmetic and sensory issues that affect how your vehicle looks and feels.
Concerns people raise about add-on work
People often ask how long add-on services take, whether they can be done at the same time as a full detail, and what kind of results to expect based on the current condition of their vehicle.
How long do add-on services take?
Most add-ons take between thirty minutes and one hour per service. Combining multiple add-ons may extend the total time depending on what is being treated.
Can add-ons be done during a full detail?
Yes, add-on services can be bundled with a full interior or exterior detailing appointment in Chico. This is often the most efficient way to handle multiple needs at once.
Will headlight restoration last?
Restored headlights are sealed to protect against UV damage, and results typically last one to two years depending on exposure and care. Reapplication may be needed over time.
What causes odors that won't go away?
Odors usually come from bacteria, mold, or absorbed particles in fabric and foam. Vince's Auto Detailing uses ozone treatment or enzyme-based cleaners to break down these sources rather than covering them up.
Can you restore trim that is severely faded?
Trim restoration works best on plastic that is faded but not cracked or brittle. Results depend on how much UV damage has occurred and how long the trim has been exposed.
If your vehicle has cloudy headlights, a persistent smell, or faded trim that makes it look older than it is, Vince's Auto Detailing can walk you through which add-on services will address those issues and what kind of results you can expect based on the current condition.
