Bardzo zadowolony z efektu! Samochód po detailingu wygląda jak nowy: lakier błyszczy, wnętrze jest idealnie czyste, nawet w trudno dostępnych miejscach. Widać, że specjaliści pracują starannie i z zaangażowaniem. Na pewno jeszcze skorzystam i polecam innym!

Materials and manufacturer warranties

We work with brands you can check

We don’t use an “unnamed professional coating”. You know what protects your car before work starts — and you see it later in writing.

ArtDeShine

The full catalogue: ceramic, quartz and graphene coatings. Flagship Ayicon Pro line — 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Brawix

Clear PPF film with self-healing for minor scratches. 10+ year warranty.

GG Automotive

PPF film for the zones that take the most hits: front, sills, handles. 10+ year warranty.

You get the name of the coating and film used in writing, and you see the warranty term on your car’s page after scanning the QR code on the sticker.

How we keep control

Technology instead of promises

Every car gets its own number, its own page and its own documentation with us. No need to call and ask what’s going on — you see at which stage the work is.

Car QR passport

The sticker with the code stays in the car. Scanning it opens your car’s page: services performed, a map of protected zones and the warranty term.

Live status via SMS link

After drop-off you get an SMS with a link. You see the work stage and photos — no phone calls or questions needed.

Photo report from every stage

Before and after photos of every stage stay on the car’s page. You can come back to them months later, when selling or returning a leased car.

Handover protocol

The car’s condition at drop-off and at pick-up, signed on a tablet. The PDF stays with you — not just on our word of honour.

Paint thickness measurement

Before correction we measure the paint with a gauge. The number of polishing stages follows from the measurement, not from an eyeball check.

One car, one slot

We don’t put three cars on one bay. The slot is yours, and the work runs in controlled studio conditions.

Specialisation

We do one thing, and we do it in-house

Paint protection and correction: PPF film, ceramic coatings, polishing and interior detailing. We don’t pretend to do everything — that’s why what we do, we do properly.

✕No drive-through car wash. We don’t push ten cars a day through “quick” service. One car, one slot.
✕No bodywork or repainting. We don’t repair what we are going to protect — we work on the paint that’s already there.
✕No price changes after the fact. You know the price before work starts. Inspection and quote at the studio are free and don’t commit you to anything.
Who works on your car

The same team and the same studio — since 2023

Before Kraken, we ran a car workshop for years. We don’t subcontract detailing to anyone outside: the same people you’ll find in the studio at ul. Powstańców 20 in Kraków work on your car.

We take one car per slot and work on it until it’s done — that’s why we know what we did with every element and can show it in photos.

CAR DETAILING IN KRAKÓW

What drivers ask before their first visit

What does car detailing include?

Detailing is much more than a thorough wash. It includes decontamination of the paint, i.e. removing contaminants that shampoo won’t lift; paint correction — sanding and polishing that removes scratches and holograms; protecting the surface with a ceramic coating or PPF film; and full interior cleaning: upholstery cleaning, leather care and ozone treatment. We always match the scope to the condition of the specific car — not every car needs everything at once.

How much does detailing cost?

In our studio, detailing wash with paint protection starts from 299 zł, upholstery cleaning from 600 zł, and window tinting from 650 zł. A ceramic coating costs from 1 300 zł, PPF film from 1 000 zł, and packages combining ceramics with PPF have a fixed price from 2 490 zł. Paint correction starts from 900 zł: we set the number of stages only after measuring the paint thickness and counting the defects.

How long does car detailing take?

Detailing wash and window tinting usually take one day. Upholstery cleaning with ozone treatment takes from a few hours to a full day. Paint correction alone takes 6 to 10 hours of work. A ceramic coating takes one working day, or two with full paint correction. We complete paint protection packages in 1–2 days. We confirm the exact date when quoting, after seeing the car.

Is detailing worth it?

It depends on the car and on what you expect. For a new car and for a leased car, paint protection usually pays off: PPF film on the risk zones and a ceramic coating reduce chips and scratches, and paint without defects affects the value at return or resale. For an older car, paint correction and a proper interior clean often make more sense on their own. During the inspection we tell you straight which options make sense for your car and which would be money spent with no visible effect.

More questions (11)
What is PPF and does it protect the paint?

PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a clear or coloured, flexible protective film that protects the paint finish from stone chips, scratches, road salt and chemicals, as well as UV radiation. We use high-quality PPF film with self-healing properties — minor scratches disappear under heat.

Does PPF scratch?

Yes, but most scratches heal on their own (self-healing). The film takes the damage instead of the paint. It is designed to protect the paint, so it is better to replace the film on a damaged part than to repaint the car.

What does a ceramic coating give you?

It increases paint gloss, makes cleaning easier, protects against chemicals and gives a hydrophobic effect.

Is it worth wrapping the whole car in PPF, not just the front?

Yes, it matters a lot. The front is protected against chips, and the whole car against scratches in car parks, during automatic washing and everyday use. For new and expensive cars, full PPF protection is the best investment in keeping the vehicle’s value.

How long does paint correction take?

A one-stage polish takes about 6 hours, two stages about 8 hours, and three stages up to 10 hours. The time depends on the size of the car and the condition of the paint.

Do you provide a replacement car?

No, we don’t have a replacement car. Pick-up and drop-off costs 250 zł within 25 km of the studio.

When will the car be ready and how do I check its status?

It depends on the service: a ceramic coating takes one working day, or two with full paint correction, and we complete paint protection packages in 1–2 days. You see the work status live on your order’s page, via the link in the SMS, together with photos of each stage.

Do you issue VAT invoices?

Yes, we issue VAT invoices, including to companies. Paint protection packages have a fixed price known before work starts.

Where are you in Kraków and how do I get there?

The studio is at ul. Powstańców 20 in Kraków, Mon–Sat 9:00–19:00, visits by prior booking. There are parking spaces for customers at the studio.
