French term
préparation esthétique
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Business/Commerce (general)
Finished Vehicle industry
ce terme paraît dans le contexte de la présentation d'une société : "des prestations complètes depuis la conception de schémas de distribution jusqu’à la préparation (mécanique et esthétique), " It's been translated elsewhere as aesthetic preparation but I really don't think that's a good idea.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Compare http://www.preparationauto.com/prestations/preparation-esthe... and http://www.mdcs-sarl.com/pageLibre00010007.html with http://www.autodetailingsolutions.net/ and this wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_detailing (though reliability questionable).
Note from asker:
| Thank you for guessing right! In fact I think this is a good answer - does detailling refer to both the mechanical and aesthetic preparation? |

Pre-delivery inspection
Sounds a lot like what they do as part of the PDI (in the UK), i.e check and prepare a new car mechanically and aesthetically before delivering it or handing it over to the customer.
Here's a PDI form from Rover cars:

My suggestion as I understand your question deals with the two basics procedures for the last phase of an industrial process.

"Préparation mécanique" may be closer to a "tune-up", but I haven't been able to find much on that. Here's a forum on the topic, which makes it look like something more than just a mechanical tune-up: http://www.forum-auto.com/pole-technique/preparation-vehicul...
