The studio
We measure first.Then we polish.
A wash removes dirt. Detailing removes the evidence of time: brush swirls, water spots baked on by the Mangaluru sun, salt from the coast. D24Studio is built for owners who notice.
Inspection is free, under LED light, and the quote comes after it. Coating and film jobs carry a warranty certificate and inspection reminders in the D24 app.
- Measured
A paint depth gauge reads every panel before a machine touches it. We remove as little clear coat as the finish needs.
- Hand finished
Coatings are levelled by hand, panel by panel, and cured indoors for 24 hours. Nothing leaves tacky.
- Honest
If a scratch is through the clear coat, we say so: polish won’t fix it, our scratch repair will.

Questions
Before you bookwhat owners ask first.
Short answers on detailing, ceramic coating and PPF in Mangaluru. Anything else, ask on WhatsApp.
What is the difference between car detailing and a car wash?
A wash removes dirt. Detailing polishes swirls, water spots and oxidation out of the clear coat, then seals the paint with a ceramic coating or film.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
The Essential coat, a single 9H layer, lasts one to two years. The Signature coat, layered 9H, lasts three years and more. Maintenance washes every few weeks keep either one working.
How much does detailing cost at D24 Studio?
For a hatchback, a one-step gloss enhancement starts at ₹4,000, a ceramic coating at ₹12,500 and full body paint protection film at ₹90,000. Prices rise with size and brand, and bikes have their own menu. All prices are before GST and fixed after a free inspection. See the price menu.
How long will you keep my car?
Paint correction takes 1 to 3 days; a ceramic coating 2 to 3 days, including its 24-hour cure. PPF takes 2 to 5 days, interior detailing 3 to 5 hours. We confirm timing at inspection.
Can you remove deep scratches?
If it is in the clear coat, yes. If your fingernail catches in it, it is through the clear coat: polish won’t fix it, but our scratch repair (repaint and blend) will.
Where is D24 Studio and do I need an appointment?
Amrithnagar, Pandeshwar, Mangaluru 575001, opposite Bharath Chicken. Work is by appointment, but walk in any time for a free inspection. We can also collect the car.
