A First-Year Car Care Plan for Koramangala, Indiranagar and HSR Layout Owners: Detailing, PPF and Coating

A new car has the best paint it will ever have. What you do in the first year decides how long it stays that way. Here is a simple plan for new car owners in Koramangala, Indiranagar and HSR Layout.

Before You Take Delivery, or In the First Week

New paint is the easiest to protect, because there is nothing to correct yet.

• Inspect the car in good light at delivery and note any marks.
• Decide on protection early. Front-end PPF and a ceramic coating on the rest is a common choice. See when to book PPF on a new car.
• Avoid automatic brush washes. They add swirl marks to fresh paint.

The First Month

• If you did not get protection yet, book it now, before chips and swirls appear.
• Wash by hand with a pH-neutral shampoo and clean microfibre.
• Wash soon after bird droppings, tree sap and monsoon splashes.
• Follow aftercare if you chose PPF. See the care schedule.

Months Two to Three

• Come back for a check. Any studio should look at edges or stains on request.
• Check window tint needs. Bangalore sun heats an open-parked car. See choosing a legal, effective tint.
• Plan interior care. A detail keeps the cabin fresh. See what a proper detail includes.

Through the Year

• Wash regularly and avoid dry wiping.
• Re-check edges and high-wear areas.
• Rinse after highway trips and heavy rain.

At One Year

• Book a yearly check with the studio.
• Review whether you need more coverage.
• Re-detail the interior.

How Owners From Each Area Reach Us

• Koramangala (all blocks): a short drive along Sarjapur Main Road.
• HSR Layout, Agara and Bellandur: the studio is on the same road corridor, so there is no cross-city drive.
• Indiranagar, Domlur and Ejipura: a drive through central Bangalore. Many owners book for a full day.
