Dent removal would be more, but I had too many to remove sadly, 90% dents were there already when I purchased the car.
Thanks! Just to reconfirm, you opted for Step1 only and spent 3k? If yes, these would be the best 3k spent ever. I am tempted to get the detailing done on my Ciaz. I don't have too many dents, so the step 1 should be enough for me.

Re: Is it worth detailing an old car? | Observations on detailing a 12-year old Skoda Laura

Hi, the car looks really great after the detailing. I'm tempted to go for this for my 8 year old XUV500. Could someone please suggest any good guy in Gurgaon and also the approx charges.

Thanks in advance!!

What is the ballpark figure that in involved. Any reason why no one mentions the cost? The costs vary wildly between shops and cities.
This will help to prevent getting taken for a ride.

Great thread and information, thank you! Really goes to show that’s it’s better to wait for an expensive detailing - no need to get it right after delivery! I think every 2 years is a good interval to keep the car shiny!

Yes! The shop was pretty new then, so he was eager for clients!

As mentioned before, Step 1 was 3k and Step 3 was 15k for me. Cost will depend on condition and size of the vehicle...

Thank you! Yes, every 2-3 years should be a good interval

Thank you for the great insights about detailing the old cars. I have a 10 yrs old swift that has got the aged look, any recommendations for a good detailing place in Bangalore that won't be too heavy on the pocket?
