Posting on behalf of my friend. From my side, must say the job is brilliantly executed. Next up will be my car
Anyway over to his review:
My Laura Tsi (aka Pseudo vrs) had aged gracefully for the last 5 years (most of the time with the previous owner who was an avid petrol head himself). Apart from the windshield and tyres the car looked fab. The scratched and dispersion inducing windshield was a pain, especially at nights. I had almost made up my mind to replace the windshield till a fellow Bhpian suggested me to get a windshield restoration done from Keystone Enterprises.
This was what I had not done on any of my cars before so I was a little skeptical. Considering the economical viability, this restoration was working out to a fraction of the cost of the windshield replacement hence just gave thumbs up to this option.
So I was given the contact of Mr. Sagar , who runs Keystone Enterprises in North Bengaluru.
The appointment experience:
Called up Sagar and got an appointment fixed . Though he was in midst of a detailing job on a 3+crore car he was patient enough to explain what he is going to do on the job and what result can I expect.He himself called me up the previous evening to remind me of the appointment with him the next day. All this put a strong image of good customer relations and management in me.
The D-Day:
As expected Sagar turned up on time. Had a little know each other talk before we moved on to business. Was pleased to meet this guy who is of the same age and passionate about cars. Seeing his car (Mk1 Skoda Octavia VRS) reinsured me that this work would definitely satisfy me. Always a good time to catch up with a fellow Vrs enthusiast .
The job:
He began the inspection of the windshield and marked out the scratches and hard water stains. He asked me to take a few photos before he commenced the job. They thoroughly cleaned the windshield and dried it. Applied their windshield restoration product and buffed it. The windshield was done part by part and post buffing the windshield was cleaned again.
End result: The windshield has got a new life, the difference is markedly seen. Most of the scratches and swirls were cleared. Only the deep ones and stone chips remained.
Driving at night is now easy and less eye straining.
I would definitely recommend this job to fellow petrol heads whose windshields have taken a toll over time.
Next up:
He noticed lot of swirl marks and a few hickies given by the pets I have !
He suggested me to do a paint correction and protection treatment which would remove most of the swirl marks, superficial scratches and give a deep glossy look. After going through the options, I selected the top German coating approved by the German trinity, even AMG.
I was sold on his work and communication hence booked the appointment for the following month.
Paint treatment:
Sagar came home at the given time with his crew and equipment.
Inspected the car again and we notified each other on the findings.
So here is the before:
They started their work with dusting and a thorough wash
Interiors were also dusted and wiped
And here comes the clay treatment to remove the impurities and roughness
Simultaneously the wheels and engine bay were given much needed attention. Gap cleaning, petrol fill region cleaning was done.
Milltek got a scrub too . Universal polishing cream by Menzerna was used .
Wash away those troubles with them bubbles; and here is the foam wash
Compounding was done using Flex machine . He also explained me the advantage the Flex dual action type machine has over the conventional rotary machine.
Post the compound application , gap cleaning and residual compound removal was done .
The tyre and engine bay was dressed
The happy ending after a nice massage was the Koch Chemie 1K nano treatment. It gave the car a rich glossy look.
The overall experience :
The job : ***** ( the best I’ve got done so far)
Price: ***** ( I relate pricing for the quality and relation over brand image)
Customer relation : *****
Pros:
1.Guys focus on minor details too. They cleaned my brake fluid, windshield washer and coolant tanks too!
2. At doorstep service, all they need is a water source and electricity source.They also have a free pick up and drop facility to their facility.
3. They don’t rip you off by suggesting everything they have to offer
4. They don’t use paper to dry the car . lol
5. VFM compared to the Big wigs.
Cons:
1. Time consuming. you need to give them half a day to a day at least. I have no complaints regarding this as it shows the dedication on a single car.
2. Don’t feel like taking the car out on them dirty roads after getting the treatment !
