Hey! Sorry for bringing this up again, but I too was thinking of starting a car detailing venture up here in north. I think people are getting more passionate about their rides and do not mind spending 2-3000 bucks once in a while to keep them as good as new. I had a talk with this car detailing company called Carz Spa. They give out franchisee's but the cost of setting up one is quite huge IMO. The person quoted me around 10-12 Lakhs to start a car detailing franchisee. This included the cost of machinery and equipments and all training but the variable day to day raw materials would cost extra. For eg. all chemicals and materials used. What is your opinion regarding the same. I will be glad to have all your inputs in this regard. | |

| BHPian  | Car Wash, Interior Cleaning & EXTERIOR polishing In Mumbai, I have personally tried out services like Car wash which costs around 600/- Wax polishing & exterior treatment which ranges from 1000 to 3000 bucks depends on the type of ride you own. I got my alto done for 1000/- and my Ford endeavour done for 3000/- Teflon done for 2000/- They also offer door step service. and use only branded stuff (Turtle waxes, Armorall,3M) and many more.... So many imported brands I have never heard of. PM me if you need more details. Trust me I have seen them do a very detailed work. UR RIDE WILL SPARLE FROM INDISE AND GLOW FROM OUTSIDE  Regards.... HAPPY Driving |

| I had a bad experience with Mr. Car Bath I got my city's exteriors polised- it has a few paint spots all over, they did a good job at removing that and left the car shining well. Made a biggggg mistake of getting my BMW's interiors cleaned by them. The chap that runs Mr. Car bath assured me of using top quality products for leather cleaning so I trusted him and went ahead. Went to check on the guys working on the interiors half way through and much to my dismay they were using petroleum based products  There was a strong petrol odour in the car and I warned them of it, they assured me that it would last for no more than an hour . They finished the job and the smell got only stronger, I couldn't bare to put the AC on while driving as the smell was too heady. I called up the owner and gave him a piece of my mind and told him I need to do a highway run early in the morning and there is no way I can survive with this smell. He arrived at my building at 6am (Must give him some credit for this professional step). I requested him to get some good quality conditioner as there was no point using the same products he already has, he landed up with the same products ! Obviously he could not do much, he assured me he will look into the matter and get it resolved. Later he called me and informed that his people had indeed spilled the petrolum based leather cleaner on my carpet which is causing the smell. Once again he assured me that within a week he will re-do the job with better quality solutions. Its been over a month and I haven't heard from him, even if i do hear from him, there is no way I would let them come close to my car as finally after 4 weeks the smell has gone.

| ^^ I'll try Autovega this month and let you guys know! I don't see them having branches anywhere else. Pune-ites, I've finished reading this ENTIRE thread and there's no comprehensive answer about reliable work in Pune - apart from the uber-expensive Bike&CarSalon! Can any Pune-ite respond? I'm looking at completely new look for both interior and exterior for the pre-owned car am purchasing - there are no dents on the car.Cheers! Payne |
