Questions people actually ask

No. The bay is in Jubilee Hills and this site is up before the doors are.

That is why you will not find a phone number, a street number, a customer review or a count of cars washed anywhere on it. We would have to make all four up. Each one appears here the week it becomes true, and not before.

Drive in for an exterior wash if that is easier. Booking only means the bay is held against your registration number at a time you picked, so you are not waiting behind somebody else.

A full detail has to be booked. It takes half a day and the bay is out of use for all of it, so it is not something that fits around a walk-in.

There is no account to make and no deposit to pay, and you can cancel any time before the slot starts.

An exterior wash is about forty minutes. That is the work itself rather than a queue: the bay is yours, so the clock starts when you arrive.

Those forty minutes cover five stages in a fixed order. Pre-rinse, foam blanket, the two bucket contact wash, inside and glass, then air dry and sealant. None of them gets cut short because the bay is busy.

A full detail is half a day, which is why it is booked ahead. Opening hours, and the latest a detail can start, are on the visit page.

Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. The exact street address is confirmed with you at booking rather than printed here.

That is not coyness. Until we are trading we are not going to publish an address you might drive to and find shut, or a number nobody is answering. Both go up the week we open.

The fine scratches you only see in direct sun, the swirls, are almost always grit being dragged across the paint by whatever is doing the washing. So the order of the work matters more than the products do.

Nothing touches a panel until the loose grit has been taken off it. A low pressure pre-rinse goes first, then a foam blanket that sits on the car and softens road film. Only then does a mitt go near the paint, and it works out of two buckets: one holds the soap, the other is there to rinse the mitt before it goes back in. The grit collects in the bottom of the rinse bucket instead of going back onto your bonnet.

At the end the car is blown dry rather than towelled, because dragging a towel across a drying panel is the other half of where swirls come from.

What we will not tell you is that contact washing is risk free, because it is not. This is how the risk is kept small, and it is the same routine on every car, including the Rs 399 one.

Yes. Inside and glass is the fourth of the five stages of an exterior wash: a vacuum, a wipe over the trim, and glass cleaned on both faces. The inside of the windscreen is the pane almost everybody skips, and it is the one you look through.

A full detail goes further into the interior and has half a day to do it in.

No. This is a washing and detailing bay. There is no mechanical work here of any kind: no servicing, no engine or electrical work, no dent pulling, no panel beating, no respraying.

Detailing can do a great deal for how paint looks. It cannot put back clear coat that has been worn through, straighten a panel, or fix anything under the bonnet. If we notice something while your car is with us we will point it out when you collect it, and then it is a job for a garage rather than for us.

Yes. Forty minutes is short enough that most people will. Stay with the car or wait in the shade, whichever you prefer. Nobody will ask you to go and sit somewhere else while it is washed.

If you would rather drop the car and come back for it, say so when you book and we will work to that instead.

The wash finishes with a spray sealant, so water beads up and runs off the paint instead of lying on it in a film. Clean rain on a freshly sealed car does very little.

What marks the car is what the rain brings down with it, and what a wet road throws back up. After a proper downpour the lower panels and the wheels will carry road dirt again, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

If the forecast looks bad, move the slot. Changing or cancelling before it starts costs nothing.
