New Car Protection Detail
The New Car Protection Detail is designed for brand new and nearly new vehicles that need preparing and protecting properly from the start. New cars are not always delivered in perfect condition. Dealership washing, transport contamination, storage marks and poor preparation can leave light defects, bonded contamination and dull paintwork before the vehicle has even been properly used.
This service safely prepares the vehicle before ceramic protection is applied to the paintwork and selected surfaces, helping protect the vehicle from the beginning rather than waiting until damage has already built up.
From £600, Studio based service, Includes interior and exterior ceramic coating
Protect your vehicle properly from the start
A new vehicle should not just be washed and coated and lets be honest dealership protection packages are an absolute scam. Before any ceramic protection is applied, the vehicle needs to be safely cleaned, decontaminated, inspected and prepared correctly. This makes sure the coating is applied to a clean, properly prepared surface rather than locking in contamination, dealership wash damage or poor finish quality. The New Car Protection Detail is designed to give your vehicle the best possible start, with the right preparation carried out before long term protection is applied.
​

Why new cars still need detailing
A new car can still arrive with contamination, light marks, dullness or poor dealership preparation.
It may have been transported, stored outside, washed incorrectly or quickly prepared before handover. While it may look clean at first glance, the paintwork still needs proper inspection before ceramic protection is applied.
The aim of this package is to safely clean, refine and protect the vehicle before regular washing, road grime and poor maintenance start to affect the finish.

Ceramic protection included
The New Car Protection Detail includes ceramic protection for the main exterior surfaces.
This helps improve gloss, adds durable protection, creates strong water behaviour and makes future maintenance easier when the vehicle is looked after correctly.
Ceramic protection is not a replacement for safe washing or regular maintenance, but it gives the vehicle a much stronger starting point than dealership protection packages or basic waxes.
Interior protection
Where applicable, interior protection can be applied to leather, fabric, mats and carpets.
This helps protect the interior from everyday use, spillages, dirt and general wear, making the vehicle easier to maintain from the start.
The exact interior protection will depend on the materials fitted to the vehicle.
Important inspection note
This package is designed for brand new and nearly new vehicles.
If the vehicle already has heavier swirl marks, deeper scratches, poor paint condition or clear signs of dealership wash damage, Paint Correction may be required before ceramic protection is applied.
This will be discussed before the vehicle is booked in, so the correct level of preparation is carried out.
Time required
The New Car Protection Detail usually requires 1 to 2 days, depending on vehicle size, condition and the level of preparation required.
Vehicles with extra contamination, light defects or more complex interiors may require additional time.

Not sure if this is the right package?
If your vehicle is brand new, nearly new or recently collected from a dealership, the New Car Protection Detail is usually the right route.
If the paintwork already has visible swirl marks, scratches, haze or poor clarity, Paint Correction may be more suitable before ceramic protection is applied.
Send photos of the vehicle, along with the age, mileage and condition, and Platform Auto Detailing will advise the most suitable route before booking.
