New Car Protection & Preparation Package
Give your new vehicle the level of preparation and protection it should have received from day one.
Our New Vehicle Preparation package is designed to properly clean, refine and protect your car before it faces daily use. Even brand-new vehicles can arrive with light paint marring, transport marks or surface contamination from storage and delivery — this service addresses those issues prior to applying long-term protection.
Preparation Process:
The vehicle undergoes a full safe wash and decontamination process to remove transport residue and bonded contaminants. The paintwork is then lightly machine polished to refine the finish, enhance gloss and remove minor imperfections, ensuring the surface meets the highest standard before protection is applied.
A full panel preparation process is carried out to ensure optimal bonding of protective coatings.
Protection Included:
7 Year Ceramic Coating applied to paintwork, glass and wheels
Interior protection applied to leather and fabric surfaces (12–18 months durability)
This package enhances gloss, protects against environmental damage and makes ongoing maintenance significantly easier, helping to preserve the vehicle’s condition and value from the very beginning.
Vehicle Eligibility:
Suitable for brand-new vehicles or those with less than 1,000 miles.
⏱ Duration: 1–2 days (depending on vehicle)
Important Information:
Additional correction work or heavily marked vehicles may require further refinement, which will be discussed prior to work being carried out.

Why Protect a New Car?
New vehicles often look perfect on delivery, but the paintwork is rarely flawless. During transport, storage and dealership preparation, light marring, handling marks and bonded contamination can all be introduced before the car reaches you.
Protecting your vehicle from new helps preserve its appearance, reduce premature wear and make ongoing maintenance far easier. A professionally applied ceramic coating creates a durable barrier against UV damage, road grime, wash marring, bird droppings and environmental fallout — helping your vehicle stay cleaner for longer and retain its “new car” finish.
It also ensures any protection applied is done after proper preparation, rather than over unprepared surfaces, delivering far better performance and longevity.
