So, you've decided to treat your car to a professional detailing session. Great choice! But when you look at the menu of services—paint correction, ceramic coating, interior deep cleaning—it can be overwhelming. As Pune's car care experts, we're here to help you choose the perfect package for your car and budget.
Step 1: Assess Your Car's Condition and Your Goals
What are you trying to achieve? Your goal will determine the right service.
"I want to sell my car and get the best price."
Recommended Package: Full Detailing with Basic Paint Enhancement. A prospective buyer's first impression is everything. A car that looks and smells new commands a higher price.
- Interior Deep Cleaning: Removes all stains, dirt, and odors. Essential for making the car feel fresh and well-maintained.
- Engine Bay Cleaning: A clean engine bay signals to buyers that the car has been well cared for.
- Single-Stage Paint Correction/Polish: This removes light swirl marks and brings back a deep gloss, making the car look years younger. It's the most cost-effective way to boost cosmetic appeal.
"My car is new, and I want to keep it looking that way."
Recommended Package: New Car Protection (Ceramic Coating or PPF). This is all about proactive protection. Don't wait for the damage to happen.
- Ceramic Coating: Provides long-lasting (years, not months) protection against Pune's sun, rain, and dust. It adds incredible gloss and makes washing the car incredibly easy. A must-have for any new car in the city.
- Paint Protection Film (PPF): If your budget allows, adding PPF to high-impact areas like the front bumper, hood, and mirrors provides unbeatable protection against stone chips and scratches from traffic.
Success Story: Protecting a Brand-New Tata Safari in Wakad
A family in Wakad just bought their dream car, a Tata Safari. They brought it to us with only 50km on the odometer. We performed a light paint prep and applied a 5-year ceramic coating. They were amazed at the added depth and gloss. Now, they drive around Pune without constantly worrying about bird droppings or UV fading.
"My car just feels dull and dirty. I want to fall in love with it again."
Recommended Package: Exterior Restoration & Interior Spa. This is for bringing a well-loved car back to its former glory.
- Two-Stage Paint Correction: A more intensive polishing process to remove moderate to heavy scratches and swirl marks, restoring the paint's clarity and shine.
- Full Interior Spa: Includes shampooing of seats and carpets, leather cleaning and conditioning, and steam cleaning to sanitize the cabin.
- Paint Sealant: A great way to lock in the results of the paint correction for several months.
