You can change this color in teh options, but having to do so each time is tedious and doesn't help all that much. This will inadvertently add a lot of extra time to the job as you go over every inch once again trying to find it. If the car you’re detailing is red, or something that isn’t a contrast to the color red, good luck trying to find the smallest spot you missed cleaning or buffing out.

Doing so highlights the dirt and scratched in a faint red, though it’s quite difficult, near impossible actually, to see the smallest of the details, especially near the bottom of the car. A small indicator will fill up a circle and disappear once that portion is fully cleaned, with the task coming off your list as well.Ĭlicking in the Right Stick will highlight any dirty areas or where repairs are needed with a good polishing. The ‘gameplay’ in most of these sections is simply moving around the Left Stick within a small area, or spraying everywhere before cleaning it up.

Cleaning the insides of the car is much simpler, spraying down the seats, scrubbing them down, and spraying out any of the stains. Some of the gameplay is satisfying, like spraying down the vehicle with the foam, then the frustration sinks in when you need to annoyingly dry the car by hand with a hand towel, hoping you didn’t miss the smallest wet patch. Knowing what tools you need is only half the job, the other is hoping that the game itself deems your tasks complete, as that’s sometimes the challenge in itself. Your tire kit is has special brushes and sprays, where the interior cleaning kit is how you’ll clean the dirty mats and seats.Įvery type of detail and clean needs a specialized tool, and while you’re only given the basics in the beginning, you’ll need to eventually purchase the others, like the headlight cleaner kit, polishing kit and more. The body cleaning kit is where you’ll find your foaming gun, pressure washer and drying cloth. You’ll have a handful of different tools and kits to use, each with their own use and purpose. Yes, that’s usually the first task you’ll complete, getting the grime off the car, but then you’ll need to go a little deeper to make it shine. You’ll need all the money you can get, as that’s how you’ll purchase new tool upgrades, new garages, and more.ĭetailing a car is more than simply getting some soap and washing it down. There’s even now and then some extra tasks you can do to earn a little more, like polishing the glass or putting a special product on the wheels. Based on how well you do and if you complete each task, you’ll earn a certain amount of money and stars based on your work. Before choosing which of the jobs to take, you can see how much money you’ll earn and which components will need to be restored to their former glory. It’s time to wow and surprise your customers and build your business by focusing on the finer details.Ĭhecking the computer at your desk will show the customers that are wanting to employ your services and drop their vehicle off to eventually look like new.

This is a simulator game though, and we come here for the gameplay and recreation of the job, not a story. What better reason to go open up your own detailing garage rather than work for someone else? At least that’s the narrative that I took away from the brief storyboard cutscenes. There’s a massive flood and your workplace is all but destroyed, so you have nowhere to go for work any longer. Don’t worry though, after a few jobs, you’re going to have the controls down and memorized, as it’s very repetitive. Many of these simulator games aim to recreate its real world counterpart, and Car Detailing Simulator is no different, having you renew cars to their former glory, making sure they are polished and shined with no minor detail forgotten before the customer gets their car returned and you move onto the next job.Īfter a brief opening cutscene about the detailing company you’re working for wins an award, you’re thrust into your first job detailing a vehicle, doubling as the tutorial to the gameplay. The latest is Car Detailing Simulator from developers Games Incubator and GameFormatic, published by Ultimate Games. It seems that every time I look, there’s a new simulator game out there, recreating a job or activity that I would have never expected to be in game form.
