Carnauba Autospa - Astelier Magazine May/June 2007

By Chris Chan

Established since March 2004 and with two service centres in the Klang Valley, Carnauba Autospa has carved a name for itself in meticulous detailing, sprucing cars to almost mint condition. Aside from five-star pampering for your car - washing, cleaning and polishing - it also offers an array of other innovative services to ensure your car looks its best.

Paintless Dent Repair - Small dents that are caused by stones or the opening of another vehicle's door parked alongside are worked from behind with customised tools pushing the metal to its original shape without damaging existing paint - hence no repainting is required and your car retains factory-finished paint. Besides saving on the cost of conventional body repair, you need not worry about paint overspray, incorrect colour and other paint defects. Same-day service is available with advanced booking.

Knocking and Spray Painting - Carnauba Autospa also handles the respraying of the entire vehicle with the same or a different colour. A wide choice of colours is available, and the service comes with a six-month warranty.

Windshield Repair - This service involves repairing star cracks or bull's eye cracks of up to one inch. Cracks are sealed with a chemical-based sealant. Improvement depends on the severity of the crack, how old the crack is, and whether it has been compromised by dirt. Long cracks up to ten inches cannot be completely sealed - they will still be visible - but repairing such a crack prevents it from spreading.

Headlamp Restoration - Applicable to discoloration plastic surfaces only, the process of headlamp restoration begins by sanding down the surface of the headlamp. You can expect about 80 percent improvement, depending on the severity of the existing surface.

Interior Restoration - Extending to leather, vinyl and plastic surfaces, interior restoration tackles problems such as colour imbalance, ink and car perfume stains, as well as general wear and tear marks, with the restored areas matching perfectly with the original colour.
