Car Detailing Trend in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon



Car Detailing Trend in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Detailing is a 30 Billion dollar Industry in the United States and is a relatively new trend in Asia, especially in India.

First let us look up what Wikipedia has to say about Car Detailing –
Car Detailing is to meticulously Clean, Polish, Buff and Protect all parts of a Car from top to bottom, inside and out, using specialist tools and products that would not be used by a typical car cleaner/car wash

This is a slightly modified version, but does the job. It captures the essence of what Car Detailing is about and what it entails.

In India especially in Delhi and surrounding areas like Gurgaon and Noida, Car Detailing is fast becoming a hot trend with Expensive Car Owners lining up for services like Paint Protection, Wrapping and Car Polishing. Some of the major players are constantly upgrading their service offerings with the end result that the quality and variety that they are able to offer can match their counterparts in the United States and Europe.

Products from Meguiars and 3M now command a healthy following from DIY car owners and Car Detailing professionals. It does not matter that a single Meguiars can of wax can cost upwards of 1500 Indian Rupees which is approximately 30-35 US dollars.

The presence of a large number of BMWs and Audis on Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida Roads has automatically forced Car Detailing Professionals to upgrade the products and machines they use as the care and maintenance of these brands cannot be done by local products and local car cleaners.

Car Detailing Packages start from 1500 Indian Rupees and can go upto 400000 for a Hi-End Car Wrapping Package.

Overall, even with the large number of spurious products and untrained self proclaimed car detailers around in Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida, the trend of Car Detailing is here to stay as –
a)      There are still 3-4 high quality and honest car detailing companies operating
b)      The consumers are much more aware of who is to be trusted and who not to, thanks to the internet and Social Media

A Consumer whether he/she owns a small or a big car has to be extra careful about this field but there are a few caveats that can help consumers not make expensive mistakes in having the wrong person detail the car and cause serious damage to the paint -

a) Make sure that the car detailer is not an individual but has a team on the ground
b) Make sure he/she is educated, paint protection is a serious and complicated procedure, anybody with intense training can do it, but it requires atleast some heavy duty technical knowledge to understand and apply, anybody saying "ho jayega" and "kar denge" is to be avoided
c) Stay away from local products, there is a thriving fake car care market in India and considering most car detailers are self proclaimed and have minimal experience in handling hi-end cars, they would by default use cheap and spurious materials which would earn them higher margins and when you would call them after a month, they would give you any silly reason as to why the paint faded or spots appeared all over the car body

Benefits of paint protection

Benefits of paint protection

If you have bought a new car, then chances are that in 2, 3 or 5 years you will want to sell it or trade it in. Ideally, when that time comes, your car will be as new looking as it is right now, because then you will get the most money for it.
It IS possible to keep your car looking brand new

Keeping your car looking brand new for many years is achievable and for many enthusiasts is a reality. They rinse off their cars every day and keep the wax topped up. Dirt ages a car and attacks paintwork, keeping your car protected with a good coating of wax makes all the difference. Many enthusiasts we know actually keep a bucket and sponge in the boot along with a spray bottle of liquid wax, so that at the first sign of dirt they can deal with it no matter where they are.

But for most of us who lead busy lives and have other priorities, it isn't practical to wash and wax our cars once a week, let alone three times a week! Although we start off as we mean to go on, the chances are that washing the car will become a chore and this is even truer for waxing. The result is that as time goes on, we will do it less and less often. And as it starts to show that we have done less, we are even less inclined to get out there on a Sunday morning with a bucket and sponge.
Paint sealant protection offers an easier alternative to waxing. Unlike wax which evaporates in a few weeks, a paint sealant will last for years with a minimum of work to keep it topped up.

How regular do you wax your car?

Recent independent tests carried out in America of all the major brands of retail car wax proved that most natural waxes last no more than four weeks (despite what the manufacturers may claim) This means that by week three, the wax will only be providing minimal protection and will give virtually no resistance against bird muck, tree sap and heavy pollutants. Although synthetic waxes can last far longer (up to 20 weeks), you have to realize that after 10 weeks, the wax will only have half the protection it did when first applied.
Paint sealants differ from waxes in that they amount to a plastic coating which not only lasts longer, but is far more durable to the effects of UV radiation, road salts, industrial fallout, environmental pollution, acid rain, bird muck and tree sap. Although even a paint sealant is not impervious to many of these things, the extra protection means that you have far longer to remove them before permanent damage can occur. This is all you really need to attend to, making sure the car is washed on a regular basis. With the paint sealant resisting the adhesion of dirt, washing your car becomes easy as all you need do is wet, wash and rinse. There is no need for additional polishes and waxes.

Sealants pay you back
The end result is that you have guaranteed paintwork protection for the stated life of your paint sealant. Your car will remain looking new and you have little work to do.
When the time comes to sell your car, you will know that your paintwork will be in pristine condition, there will be no fading, staining, etching or rust. The higher price your car will command will pay you back every penny you spent on a paint protection package.

Types of Paint Sealant

6 Best Types of Paint Sealant

If you are looking to apply a deep gloss shine to your vehicle, you will usually have a choice between a synthetic paint sealant or lower cost natural paint sealants. Although paint sealants and natural waxes are essentially the same thing (they protect your car's paint and give it a glossy shine), there are some differences.
For example, waxes are formulated using natural waxes like Brazilian Carnauba and paint sealants are formulated using synthetic polymers or resins. Which is better? Well, it really depends on who you ask. There are fans of both types. So, with that in mind, here is a list of some of the better types that are available in both categories.

Popular Synthetic Paint Sealants

  • Wolf Gang Paint Sealant - Considered by some to be the best synthetic paint sealant available, Wolfgang paint sealant is chosen by many for its ease of application (which most paint sealants are known for) and it's durable glossy shine that is more akin to a carnauba wax. Although very expensive (a small bottle can set you back 40 bucks or more), it delivers a durable finish that provides the warmth and glow of a hand rubbed wax job.
  • Megulars Synthetic Sealant - This popular sealant is another that is often referred to as the best of the best. Although not quite as expensive as the Wolfgang product, a half gallon of this sealant will also set you back between $40 and $50. When properly applied, this sealant is well known for standing up to multiple carwashes and maintaining its high luster and shine.
  • Klasse High Gloss Sealants - Rounding out our list of high-quality synthetic paint sealants is the Klasse high gloss sealant product line. At around $25 for a 16 ounce bottle, this particular paint sealant is certainly not cheap. However, if you consider that when properly applied, it can provide a quality shine and great protection for your car's paint finish for up to a year, then products value becomes more apparent.

Popular Natural Car Waxes

  • Concours Carnauba Wax - When it comes to car waxes, this is a popular favorite on many consumer reports websites. Made from premium Brazilian carnauba wax and beeswax, Concordes carnauba wax is very popular due to the fact that it doesn't leave a white filmy residue that is often associated with many other natural car waxes. Although a small jar around 6 ounces will set you back about $30 to $35, many consider this particular car wax the one to beat.
  • Pinnacle Paste Wax - Priced at around $100 for an 8 ounce jar, Pinnacle Paste waxes are some of the most expensive on the market. However, if you have an antique or classic vehicle that you need to look its absolute best, you will find that many experts and professionals recommend Pinnacle paste waxes. Pinnacle paste waxes are especially effective on red and black vehicles.
  • Turtle Wax - If you're looking for a simple and inexpensive car wax that does an adequate job of creating a decent shine for your vehicle, then perhaps nothing is better than the time-tested line of Turtle Wax products. Although not as popular for high-end applications as some of the other products that are listed here, Turtle Wax waxes are quality products designed for consumers that are not necessarily car enthusiasts or those that don't need showroom finishes.
