Delhi Noida Gurgaon Car Detailing and Polishing – What determines Resale Value of a Car

Delhi Noida Gurgaon Car Detailing and Polishing – What determines Resale Value of a Car

This article is for all those People who want to upgrade from their current cars and are trying to get top dollar for the car that they already own. J

A used car has certain value, this value is tough to price. The only way to traditionally price the car is based on the following parameters –

a)      Age of the Car
b)      Brand of the car maker
c)       Kilometers Run
d)      Petrol/Diesel/CNG
e)      First Owner/Second Owner/Third Owner
f)       Where the Car is registered
g)      Condition of the engine
h)      Look of the Car

I can probably write 5 more factors but they will not suffice, this is clearly an art and not an exact science. It is so dark and mysterious that eventually this has turned into a very profitable business for people who buy and sell old cars. This is beyond the comprehension of most car owners who are looking to sell their vehicles.

But what the car owner can do is the following –
a)      Make sure all the papers are in order
b)      Make sure the engine is smooth and the car is in prime running state
c)       Make sure the look of the Car is great

It is with the third point c), that I am concerned. This is one of the most neglected areas in any used car sale and purchase transaction. This is where people who buy and sell used cars make their money at the expense of car owners and Car Buyers.

A Great looking used car is not very common and if one such specimen is on the market, it gets sold before we can say – I got cheated by the used car salesman, he bought the car too cheap.

A simple detailing package would be able to help the person selling his car get top dollar for it. In other words, invest 5000 and get 50000 to 100000 more plus the car gets sold very fast. Seems like a great deal.

We may think whatever we want but when it comes to buying a used car most people’s logic is trumped by how the car looks, it can be a year older than what we are comfortable with but if the car looks great, we really would not mind.

Take advantage of this weakness in human nature, we are by our very disposition drawn to shiny and good looking things and a car detailing package carried out by an expert car detailer can ensure that the shiny and good looking thing happens to be our beloved car which we are in the process of selling.

New Delhi Car Detailing – Tips and DIY Guide

This article is for all those budding car lovers who want to take their love to the next level. J

A Car is nothing but a amalgamation of a person’s needs and wants. Everybody needs a car and everybody also wants one. The subtle difference is that a need dictates a car’s functional utility per se and a want dictates a specific brand car.

If we are asked what we all want we would all answer Ferrari or Aston Martins but the not so light topic of Purchasing Power bogs us down.

Now how do we get what we own looking the best that it possibly can – Simple, by taking care of it.

What steps do we have to follow for a car – 2 Basic Steps, can be done by anyone but aren’t, sadly.

a)      Prevention is the best cure - Keep your lovely Car away from the Harsh Natural Elements as far as possible, this simply means keeping the cover under a car cover. While some of you will think about the very light, and I mean very light swirl marks which might be left over when the car cover rubs against the car paint but in my view it is still fine because direct exposure to natural elements like dust, harsh sunlight and tree sap or bird poop. These lead to faded paint and quite permanent marks, in Punjabi we would call them nazar battus J
.
b)      Massage – Yes, even the car needs a massage once in a while which can be something as simple as a coat of wax every one or two months. Wax apart from imparting shine to the car exterior also forms a thin layer of protection which goes a long way in keeping the car paint in prime condition. A hard paste wax lasts the longest but is more difficult to apply while a liquid wax lasts a little lesser but is much easier to apply.

If a Car Lover was to follow just these two basic steps he would be doing 60% of the work required to keep a car looking good. We live in Delhi and NCR where a new car looks new for less than 4 months on an average but the above two steps can go a long way in beating this specific law of averages. For long term expert protection you would still need expert detailers like us.

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – By Machine or by Hand


EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida & Gurgaon – By Machine or by Hand

This is one aspect of car detailing which is up for debate all the time. In one camp are traditional car lovers who say that machines are far more aggressive than necessary for Car detailing and should be avoided or minimally used. In the other camp are New Age types who think that when something can be done faster and better using machines, then it should only be done that way.

The best road to take is the middle ground.

There are some steps which do require the care and time that application by hand can do justice to, while there are some steps which are better carried out with the help of machines.

Now, precisely which machines are we talking about. They are of course the big and bad Car Polishing Machines. There is a whole army of them – Orbital, Rotary, Dual Action, Small Backing Plates, High RPM, Low RPM etc and plenty of brand names like Meguiars(a recent entrant), Makita, Festool, Bosch, Dewalt to name a few.

For beginners, Rotary Polishers are a big No. They are noisy, aggressive and if used improperly can just cut through the base coat layer. Beginners are well advised to stick with a Low RPM Dual Action Polisher.
For Experienced Professionals Rotary Polishers are the 1st choice followed closely by Orbital Polishers. They also happen to be the most effective is used properly.

Whether to use machines or to go in for hand application depends on three basic factors –
a)      Condition of the Paint of the Car
b)      Skill Level of the person carrying out the polishing process
c)       Products and Tools available

If a), b) and C) are all a resounding Yes in terms of Bad Paint Condition, High Skill Level and Great products and tools available then Rotary it is, maybe even Orbital can be looked at.

But if even one of a), b) or c) is not a resounding yes, then it is much safer to not use a heavy duty car polishing tool, remember these machines can go upto RPMs of 3000 to even 4000 in a few cases, speeds at which a very high degree of precision and skill is needed to use them.

You are far better using a very high quality Car Polish and Car Wax which have some degree of abrasive content, Believe you me, It is far easier to deal with a bad hand application job than a bad machine application job.

Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Abrasive Based Polishing Compounds


Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Abrasive Based Polishing Compounds
EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/
Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Abrasive Based Polishing Compounds
Polishes are Abrasive Based – Fact
Most Polishes take off a bit of Car Paint – Fact
All Polishes take off a bit of Car Paint – Opinion? And it is Untrue
Abrasives based Polishes which are cheap and local contain abrasive granules on the one hand scrape and instigate the car paint when used with a high powered polishing machines and on the other just strip a layer of paint off the car thus making the surface shiny as new paint is exposed.
Specialized Polishes which contain something called diminishing abrasive granules contain oils and when the car paint is polished using them on one hand the granules slowly diminish into nothing while being polished and buffed thus not harming the car paint unnecessarily and on the other hand the oils massage the car paint surface for an even and glossy finish.
A simpler way to understand this would be to run a car without engine oil, will it run, it will, will it run smoothly, not for long. Diminishing granules and oils do what engine oil does for an engine, they lubricate and polish the car paint with harming it one bit. The same is not true for majority of polishes available in the Indian car care Market.
When should one get a Car Polished
In an environment like Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, it should be done atleast twice in a year to keep the car looking spanking new, as far as a car is considered, exterior beauty is far more important, nobody cares what the insides of a car look like if the exteriors paint an uninviting picture. Pun Intended.
Whenever as a consumer we want to get car polishing done, we should ask the polisher what compound he is using and whether he even knows how safe or unsafe it is for the car paint, if he says that he has been using it for ages and it is good but he cannot answer basic questions related to a bit of science behind it just zip up your wallets and drive away, it is better to be safe than sorry.
The lure of a low price should not entice us to play havoc with our precious car’s looks, imagine for a sum less than 5000 Indian rupees we would be willing participants in a bet involving the well being and beauty of our vehicles which cost a large multiple of the cost of polishing.
Choose very carefully, make sure the person knows a bit about the process, not just the sales part but also the technical part, after all once a polishing mistake takes place the only remedy is a repainting job which apart from being very expensive also inconveniences the car owner.

EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – 8882120120 and http://www.excelcarspa.com/
Car Detailing Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon – Can Anybody Carry out Car Detailing & Polishing
Yes and No.
If we talk about simple things like applying a coat of wax or washing the car with a car shampoo, yes almost everybody can but when we get into esoteric topics like Paint Sealants and Car Polishing and Machine Compounding it is best to stay away if you are a newbie.
What as a Car Owner can I do if I am not an expert car detailer –
Plenty of things, nothing stops you from carrying out simple processes in order to keep your car looking good. The only things stopping you are hard work and patience. Smile Smile.
I have listed a few things which are easy and not time consuming but the effect on the car’s looks is noteworthy –
a)      Car Wax – Car Wax is the most underutilized product in the car care space, it is effective and as long as you are not using an astonishingly cheap or fake product, car wax would give you good results. Just apply, wait for it to dry and then simply wipe off, don’t worry too much about the tiny flecks of dry wax which would be stuck in the crevices of your car, normal running and driving of the car would simply make them fly off !!
b)      Car Shampoo – Always use a mild shampoo, and if possible do not use hard water for the wash as the car paint would be covered in hard water stains if a shampoo based car wash is done even a little regularly. Use a clean terry cloth and remember, you are not fighting to get the dirt off you are just helping the dirt come off. Let the shampoo do the work instead of you.
c)       Vacuum Cleaner – A Household Vacuum cleaner with a long enough nozzle can be used at home to get the dust and dirt out from the interiors of the car, it should be done once a month and will hardly take more than 15 minutes. Does it pay off, you bet. Please do not fight the machine just help the machine do the work, interpretation – Just point the machine at the right areas and the machine would do the needful.
The only caveat is that we are aiming for a “good enough” job, not perfection. As long as we keep that in mind, I am very sure anybody who follows the above steps would be a happy car owner.
A wise man has said – I am concerned with Excellence, Perfection is God’s Business. Remember his wise words. In case you are aiming for perfection just call expert car detailers like us.

Car Care Ideas from Car Detailing and Car Polishing Professionals in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

After exhausting a week trying to figure out which is the best do it yourself way to keep a car in good condition we have realized it takes a standard 4 step process once a month to keep the car's looks in top shape -


Clean - You can use a Car Shampoo for this, and use a clean terry cloth
Detail - You can pick up Formula 1 products from the market, these are entry level products and easily avaiable in car markets
Detail and Polish - This is usually better done by professionals, but as DIY you can try Formula 1 products and I can assure you that even if you do it yourself the car would gleam and shine like a new bride 
Protect - Use Carnuaba Wax, formula 1 or Abro for this stage, jut wax the car slowly and after the wax dries off just take it off by using a clean terry cloth
If you do this by yourself, you would have a beautiful and shiny exterior and it would last for 3-4 months, the cost will be more than recovered by the compliments you will recieve 
PS - It is very important to use a clean terry cloth while doing anything on the car, a dirty rag only harms the paint and over time would leave light scratches all over the paint
Hope this helps,

Car Polishing Options in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon


Car Polishing Options in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

www.excelcarspa.com


Car Polishing is becoming more popular by the day in India, especially in areas surrounding Delhi and NCR which includes Noida and Gurgaon. Every day service centers get customers who want their cars polished and made shiny and they are quite hard taskmasters, they pay but they also want a great end result.

We can categorize Car Polishing outfits into the following categories –
a)      Roadside Car Polishers
b)      Authorized Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On
c)       Multibrand Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On
d)      Detailing outfits which have great prices but normally use lower grade polishes and machines and their work quality is very questionable
e)      Detailing outfits which have good prices and the materials, machines and work quality is par excellence

Let us analyze these one by one –

Roadside Car Polishers
They use any fake product in their routine, because as one wise man said – If you want ants you throw sugar on the floor, they are the proverbial ants who entice customers with cheapness and promise the moon but end up quite short when the topic of their work quality and durability of finishing comes up. It is best to just stay away from them. Considering a new paint job for a car in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon can cost anything from 20000 to 45000, it is far too risky to play with the car’s finish and looks for a few hundred rupees.

Authorized Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On
They specialize (That is questionable) in Car servicing, but will polish a car if the customer wants it. Getting them to polish a car is like making an orthopedic surgeon give you a root canal for your tooth. Very Unwise. They do not know what Polishing compounds to use but never ever will they give that impression. They are the unfailing Jack of all trades and Master of None.

Multibrand Service Centers which provide Car Polishing as an Add-On
Same category as above but please do check out their coupons and free break down service offers, when the time comes they go back on their word. A friend in need is a friend indeed, and these guys are no friends.

Detailing outfits which have great prices but normally use lower grade polishes and machines and their work quality is very questionable
The Snakes, they think the work is easy and they can manage it, that is great motivation for them but very wrong for the Car. Ask them a few insightful questions and their sales pitch breaks down faster than you can say “Fake”. They are JIT (Just in Time) Car Polishers, when they get an order then they think about how to fulfill it. And their work is just not sustainable, a few thousand for shine that lasts 15-20 days, no thank you.

Detailing outfits which have good prices and the materials, machines and work quality is par excellence
Definitely not the cheapest but they are really good at what they do, there are a handful of them in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon and they take their work very seriously. They answer questions easily because they have taken the time out to deeply understand what needs to be done, how much improvement can be sought in the car’s appearance and how sustainable would their work be. Use top grade compounds and machines and never compromise on materials or work quality and the sustainability of their work is amazing. The Car would look showroom new and look that way for quite sometime

The next time you are in a dilemma regarding where to get car polishing done in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon just remember it is not very smart to screw something as expensive as a car for a few hundred bucks, if that was the case, every car would get serviced at the car market or on the roadside.

What is termed as Car Polishing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, is it any different from Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon


EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon
8882120120

What is termed as Car Polishing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, is it any different from Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon

Car Polishing at its very basic consists of using an abrasive based polish to take a light layer of paint off and making the surface shiny, the brand of polish used can have an effect on the shine but the work typically will not last, it is at best a short term measure to primp up the car’s look. Does more harm than good mind you, what if you put an abrasive face mask and then looked fairer, you would look fairer but your skin would feel terrible.

Car Detailing for exteriors consists of cutting the paint and then glazing, sealing and waxing it to make the surface even shinier and scratch and imperfection free and it also ensures that the new shine lasts much longer. It is non-aggressive and does not stress the paint. When done by professionals who are using high end products and tools it can be exceptionally effective.

Which is more prominent in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon, hands down, it is car polishing!!! J
Why? I do not know, We should ask the guy using rubbing polish and a cheap polishing machine and telling us, kar denge sir and ho jayega sir and main guarantee leta hun sir!!! J

A Good Detailer is not Cheap and a Cheap Detailer is not Good J

Car Detailing is step after step after step of refining and correcting imperfections, stains, light scratches and paint quality. It is boring; a lot of hard work and requires technical skill and know-how. What about the end result – If you like your car, you will love it, absolutely LOVE it.

Should it be done on a regular basis – Absolutely Not, it should be done once a year or at the most once in 6-8 months, it should be done when you own an expensive car but it no longer looks expensive J

Car Detailing – Is it a necessity in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon - Excel Car Spa


EXCEL CAR SPA - Car Detailing in Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon
8882120120

The topic is very misleading, the few that understand how car detailing works would argue that it is an absolute must in Delhi and its surrounding areas like Noida and Gurgaon.

Which car owner does not want his/her car to look showroom new? Hardly anybody

You would have to hate your beloved and expensive car not to go for getting it detailed.

Let us recount what car detailing entails – It entails processes and systems which put the car back into its original showroom condition

The reason car detailing has a bad name is because of unskilled labor which normally carries it out and calls it rubbing, well rubbing just means taking paint off, and when carried out by a chap with a Chinese polishing machine and local products it means “exactly” that.

The goal of any professional detailer is to strive towards putting his heart and soul into refinishing the car to make it stand out in a crowd and swell the car owner’s car with pride.

Is Car Detailing Car Cleaning? NO
Is Car Detailing Car Washing? Bigger NO

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


Credit to - http://www.insurmycar.ca/newcarpaintprotection.html

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.

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.
