It's quite simple. Imperfections in the paint, such as swirl marks resembling spider webs, scratches, or dull spots, become noticeable under direct sunlight, at the gas station's lights, or under any other light source. These are signs that your car would greatly benefit from polishing or paint correction.

Washing cleans the car, a task you likely perform weekly. Detailing goes a step further, addressing areas not immediately apparent and providing protection. This protection prevents issues like UV damage, dehydration, and more. Regular detailing also makes routine washing much easier, as dirt has a harder time adhering to the protected surfaces.
