Purchasing your first INFINITI is a life moment that you’ll never forget. Doing the work to keep your INFINITI in pristine condition year-round is perhaps not as memorable, but immeasurably important. Though there are steps you can personally take to care for your luxury car, there will be times when your own efforts aren’t to your satisfaction.  That’s where taking your INFINITI in for an in-depth detailing comes into play.

Detailing: What Exactly Is it?

Detailing – sometimes referred to as reconditioning – is a thorough deep-cleaning process in which your interior, exterior, and tires are cleaned and polished. This can involve a combination of washing off dirt and grime from the surface, cleaning out hard-to-reach areas of the interior, buffing out scratches in the paintwork, glass cleaning, waxing, headlight restoration, and much more.  

It’s entirely up to you how thorough you want to be with your detailing process, as our Detail Center offers a variety of unique packages. Just keep in mind that your new INFINITI QX55 requires more care and attentiveness than your average vehicle. You’re driving the type of car that deserves to be kept in prime condition, and for that, we’d recommend our Ultimate Interior and Exterior Detail packages. Consider also investing in extra services offered, such as Ceramic Pro Coating.

First: Some Friendly Maintenance Reminders

Before taking your INFINITI in for detailing, make sure you’re following all commonsense aspects of your daily upkeep. After all, if you stained an expensive piece of clothing, you would rush to get it dry-cleaned. In the same sense, you shouldn’t ignore any blemishes on your INFINITI for elongated periods of time. Oils, dirt, and bird droppings have a subtle corrosive effect that can erode your car’s paint if left to linger. When it comes to the interior, dirt, gravel and sand can accumulate quickly, threatening to damage the carpeting and upholstery. Be sure to vacuum out your INFINITI once a week to stay on top of debris and preserve your car’s fresh scent.

Also be mindful of the elements conspiring to damage your car. Keep your INFINITI stowed away inside on rainy days, as rainwater can activate dry sediment on the finish, which can then damage the exterior if not removed. Even UV rays from the sun can cause the paint to crack and peel over time. To combat this, use some form of sealant wax after washing your car to help shield its surface from the sun. Additionally, use a car cover if you don’t have an interior space to store your INFINITI in.  

Preparing Your INFINITI For Its Spa Day

If you’ve decided it’s time to give your INFINITI the thorough detailing it deserves, there are steps you can take beforehand to prepare.  

1. Know Your Vehicle. The preferred products and chemicals used for detailing vary depending on your vehicle’s make and model. Be sure to know the ins and outs of your INFINITI so you can avoid damaging it with inferior materials.  

1. Clean the Interior and Wash the Exterior. This may sound redundant, but think of it as rinsing your dishes before you place them in the dishwasher. It will allow our certified technicians to focus on more difficult areas of the car if the interior is vacuumed and the exterior is washed beforehand.  

1. Know what services your garage or dealership offers. Brush up on the services we offer and decide which is most compatible with your INFINITI’s needs before driving to your appointment.

The year’s most highly anticipated INFINITI vehicle is nearly upon us. After making its debut on March 20 at the New York International Auto Show, buzz is at a fever-pitch for this summer’s 2025 INFINITI QX80. It’s easy to see why. This isn’t just a luxurious three-row SUV; it’s an SUV that dares to reimagine what luxury is.

With understated yet detailed styling, ultramodern technology, and its smoothest driving experience to date, the INFINITI QX80 is here to set a new standard for automotive luxury. INFINITI of West Chester has more on what to expect from the luxury SUV when it arrives later this summer. 

Bringing Art to Life 

The QX80 has been overhauled and upgraded for its 2025 model year. The changes start under the hood, where the 5.6-liter V8 has been upgraded to a 3.5-liter V6, powering the QX80 with 450 hp and 515 lb.-ft. of torque. The SUV shifts through a nine-speed automatic gearbox, and Nissan has improved efficiency by adding active grille shutters to reduce drag. 

But it’s what’s on the surface that will immediately command your attention. The 2025 QX80 is the first INFINITI model to be produced under the Artistry in Motion initiative – INFINITI's evolved design language. Indeed, the QX80 looks ripped from an oil painting. Its double-arch grille, inspired by the organic shapes of a bamboo forest, is the newest iteration of INFINITI’s signature grille design. Meanwhile, the QX80’s evenly proportioned body is bold and confident, projecting a sleek sense of motion despite the vehicle’s size. 

Luxury with an Eastern Flair 

If bold, evocative brushstrokes are the lynchpins of the QX80’s exterior design philosophy, the interior hinges on seamless technology integration. Heavily inspired by both Japanese and Kyoto artisan culture, the soft materials beautifully mesh with the SUV’s sinuous technological landscape to form a cohesive, ultramodern cabin.  

A pair of 14.3-inch displays highlight the interior experience, and are instrumental in providing the Front Wide View feature. A technology making its global debut, Front Wide View uses camera information to provide a wide, 170-degree view to the sides of the vehicle across both display screens. This gives the driver a bird’s eye view of parked cars and tight corners while turning. 

Indeed, if an SUV is only as accomplished as its list of features, the 2025 QX80 could retire today with its spot in the Automotive Hall of Fame locked up. INFINITI-first features include: 

• Dual 14.3-inch monolith style displays 
• Remote Control Rear Seat 
• In-Car Camera 
• Flush Door Handles 
• Invisible Hood View 
• INFINITI Light Path 
• INFINITI InTouch® with Google built-in 
• ProPILOT Assist 2.1 
• 64 Color Personalized Ambient Lighting 
• Electronic Air Suspension 

Additionally, each 2025 INFINTI QX80 comes standard with an extensive list of driver safety features designed to avoid collisions, including: 

• Predictive Forward Collision Warning 
• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection 
• Blind Spot Warning 
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert 
• Blind Spot Intervention® 
• Lane Departure Prevention
