Many people give us a confused look when we recommend car dressing as part of a vehicle detail for their Edmonds vehicle. What is an interior and exterior car dressing and what’s the purpose of it?

What IS a Car Dressing?

A car dressing is more or less the same as a conditioner. You apply it after washing to bring out the sparkle and other hallmarks of a professional detail job. Conditioners exist for various parts of the car, including the exterior metal, tires, and interior upholstery.

You can also find car dressings in automotive stores. They come in various formulas; some also come in all-in-one formulas, much the same as those all-in-one wash-and-wax liquids.

Does Your Vehicle Need One?

Does your car require regular waxing? Your car doesn’t need it since the purpose is purely aesthetic. The same goes for a dressing. Your car doesn’t require it, but it certainly helps with the car’s appearance during restoration. This is especially the case for the extensive detailing we do for classic, street-performance, and other show cars.

Can You Do It Yourself?

As we mentioned, various car dressings are readily available in automotive shops. DIY attempts, while time consuming, are certainly possible. However, you have to be careful with the formula you use. Are you sure you’re using the right one? A dressing for leather upholstery, for example, may not be compatible for every type of leather. To ensure the best results with a dressing, always leave the detailing to the pros. DIY attempts may not yield advertised results.

I was blown away with how my car looked after I had it detailed at Henry’s. I will definitely be taking all my cars here when they need a detailing and have no issues recommending Henry’s to all my friends.

The guys at Henry’s did an amazing job with my car! I have two very furry pups and a child who is disgusting. My car was taken to Henry’s and when we picked it up I actually didn’t recognize it at first! It was gorgeous, like it had just come off the showroom floor. They did such a great job cleaning the car up! It was so nice I made my daughter take her shoes off before getting in the car! Thank you so much for all the hard work!

I left my car sitting for awhile without realizing my kids had left food on the back seat, and came back to mold growing on the upholstery. I called Henry's and they were able to see me that same day, and when I picked the car up that night it looked and smelled brand new. And it was a yucky, sticky car before. Everybody was friendly and professional and the whole experience was simple. Would recommend, will be going again myself.

Henry's did an outstanding interior and exterior detail service of my vehicle. When I picked it up it, my car was in better condition than when I bought it from the dealership. Over Thanksgiving weekend my brother had vomited in my new car all over the passenger side and down inside the window well. My particular service involved the door of my car needing to be taken apart for detailing of vomit that rolled down with the window. Henry and his team carefully and professionally took apart my car where needed to complete the full detail and remove all of the vomit. I found them to be expert in performance, knowledge of products to use, and how to best care for my situation. The smell is completely gone and my car was put back together correctly! They managed to squeeze me in before I had to head back home. The best part about this business is they are friendly and genuine to each customer. I felt truly taken care of and didn't have to worry if I was going to be taken advantage of like at a dealership. They care about their work and the people that come to them. Plus it feels great to support a family business! Henry's your man!

Excellent detailing on my Subaru. It was filthy and I was not sure some of the stains would come out. When i picked it up it looked brand new! This is my second detailing with Henry’s and I definitely recommend them.
