Creta Crew: Let's Talk Accessories & Detailing!

Could you be more specific bro? I mean what kind of accessories you are looking for... PPF? Mats? What? 🤔  

@ajeet-rathi Sure!

Here's what I'm considering:

1. Floor Mats: Stock mats are okay, but I'm thinking of getting some all-weather floor mats for better protection during the monsoon season. Any recommendations on brands or types?
2. Mud Flaps: Again, monsoon season is coming, and I want to keep the car as clean as possible. Are mud flaps worth it, or are they just an aesthetic add-on?
3. Window Tints: Thinking about getting some light window tints for a cooler cabin and added privacy. Has anyone had tints installed on their Creta? What percentage did you go with, and did you notice any issues with visibility at night?
4. Detailing: I'm a detailing newbie, but I'd love to learn some basic tips and tricks for keeping my Creta looking showroom-fresh. Any product recommendations for washing, waxing, or interior cleaning?

Let's dive into your customization plans for your Creta:

Floor Mats:

1. All-weather floor mats are a must-have, especially for the monsoon season. I went with the 3D Kagu rubber mats for mine. They offer great coverage, are easy to clean, and have a raised lip to trap dirt and water.
2. TPH is another popular brand known for their durable all-weather mats.

Mud Flaps:

• Mud flaps are definitely worth it for the added protection against road spray and debris. They'll help keep your car cleaner for longer, especially during the monsoon. I got the OEM mud flaps from the Hyundai dealership, but there are also good aftermarket options available from brands like AutoForm and Automech.

@rohit Exactly, let's do it!!!!!! 😀

Well i can advice on window department

Window Tints:

1. I had light window tints (3M brand, 35% VLT) installed on my Creta, and it's made a big difference. The cabin stays cooler, and it offers some additional privacy. Just make sure you check your local regulations for legal tint percentages.
2. Visibility at night hasn't been an issue for me, but if you're concerned, you could go with a higher VLT (visible light transmission) percentage.

Lets cut to the chase!

Detailing:

1. Detailing your car regularly is a great way to maintain its shine and value. For a detailing newbie, I recommend starting with a good car wash routine. Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash Soap is a gentle yet effective option.
2. After washing, you can apply a coat of spray wax for added protection Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax is a user-friendly spray-on, wipe-off option.
3. For the interior, 3M Armor All Interior Cleaner is a good all-purpose cleaner for wiping down surfaces. Just remember to avoid using harsh chemicals on your car's interior.

Installation:

1. Did you install the mud flaps yourself, or did you get them installed at the dealership? I'm a bit handy, but I'm not sure if mud flap installation is a DIY project or not.
2. Same question for the window tints. Did you go to a professional tinting shop, or is that something you can tackle yourself? Window tint application seems a bit tricky.

Price Range:

• I noticed you mentioned the brands for the floor mats and window tints. Do you have a rough idea of how much they cost? It would be helpful to get a ballpark figure before I start shopping around. 🤔 

@rohit I'm leaning towards all-weather floor mats from 3D Kagu or TPH, but wasn't sure if there's a big difference in quality between the two brands. Have you used products from both?

@rahul Mud Flaps: Mud flaps are a fairly easy DIY project. Most aftermarket mud flaps come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware. If you're comfortable using a screwdriver and some plastic clips, you can definitely tackle it yourself. The dealership will also install them for you, but it might add some labor costs to the overall price.

Window Tints: Window tint application requires a bit more finesse and specialized tools to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. While there are DIY tint kits available online, I highly recommend going to a professional window tint shop. They'll have the experience and equipment to get the job done right, and most shops offer a warranty on their work.

@rahul Floor Mats: All-weather floor mats for the Creta can range from ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 depending on the brand and features. Both 3D Kagu and TPH are reputable brands with good quality mats. I haven't personally used TPH, but I'm happy with the coverage and durability of my 3D Kagu mats.

@rahul

1. Mud Flaps: Expect to pay around ₹500-₹1000 for a set of aftermarket mud flaps. OEM mud flaps from the dealership might be slightly more expensive.
2. Window Tints: Window tint prices vary depending on the type of film used (ceramic tints tend to be more expensive), the size of your car, and the shop's labor rates. A good ballpark figure for your Creta would be ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 for a quality film with professional installation.

@rahul While DIY tint kits exist, applying window tint without experience can be tricky. Improper installation can lead to bubbling, tearing, or visibility problems. Professional shops use heat lamps and specialized tools for a flawless finish. It's worth the investment for a clean look and peace of mind.
