There are many reasons for the growth of this industry. The most significant reasons are  \n• People are keeping their cars longer.  \n• Newer cars are lasting longer.  \n• New car prices have risen year after year, as have used car prices. In the past, the style and looks of cars changed each model year. It was easy to tell a new car by the way it looked. One-or two-year-old cars looked old simply because of their style. New styles were what sold new cars. Just seeing what the new cars would look like brought on some excitement. Normally, the car manufacturers just changed the style of the car. They may have added some new features now and then, but they often changed nothing but the car’s outward appearance.  \nAs time went on, automobile manufacturers were forced to focus on things other than style. Laws were passed that made car manufacturers focus their attention on improving fuel consumption, decreasing pollution, increasing durability, and enhancing safety. All of these concerns translated into higher manufacturing costs. Because changing body styles each year was also very costly, the car makers decided to spend their money meeting the government mandates and to keep the same basic style of the cars year after year. Eventually, unless there was a major restyling effort, only an automotive enthusiast would spot the subtle differences in style between a brand new car and one that was a couple years old.  \nWhat does this have to with detailing? Quite a bit, actually. Because bodystyles haven’t been changing very much from one year to the next, an older car may still look like a new car if the paint, upholstery, and trimare properly cared for (Figure 1) . Detailing can help make older cars look new. With the high price of today’s new cars, which run well for long periods of time, why buy anew one before you have to? Keep an older car looking new, and most people won’t even notice what ye","cbCaieqliNH5OFUv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieqliNH5OFUv","pdf",681770,13,"English","# INTRODUCTION TO AUTOMOTIVE DETAILING\n## Program overview and industry growth\n## Definition of detailing\n# Commercial detailing\n## Used car preparation\n## Detailing shops and for show\n# Preventative maintenance\n## General car care and benefits\n## Examination","[{\"question\":\"What factors contributed to the growth of the auto detailing industry?\",\"answer\":\"The excerpt attributes growth to people keeping cars longer, newer cars lasting longer, and higher new and used car prices.
