Before After

Your new car isn't perfect — here's why

It's the industry's open secret: around 95% of new cars have paint defects on delivery. Your car has been built, shipped, stored, transported and then "prepared" — and every stage leaves marks:

• Factory: minor orange peel, dust nibs and handling marks.
• Transport: wash marring and light scratches from shipping and storage compounds.
• Dealer prep / PDI: holograms and buffer trails from rushed machine polishing, plus wash-induced swirls.

Most owners never notice until the first sunny day — then the holograms appear across the bonnet. We see it weekly in Warrington. The good news: these are exactly the defects paint correction removes.

The new-car protection bundle

One booking, three stages, zero compromises:

1. New-car paint correction. We remove factory, transport and dealer-prep defects with machine polishing — usually a single or two-stage correction, measured with a paint thickness gauge and finished under inspection lighting.
2. Protection — your choice. Ceramic coating for gloss, hydrophobics and chemical resistance; PPF for physical stone-chip protection; or PPF on the front end with ceramic over the top.
3. Aftercare briefing. How to wash it, what to avoid in the first days, and how to keep it looking new for years.

What to tell your dealer

This is the highest-value advice on this page, and it's free: ask your dealer not to wash, polish or valet the car before handover. Dealer preparation causes more paint damage than the factory and transport combined. Ask for:

• No wash, no polish, no "complimentary detail"
• Transport protection left on where possible
• Protective films and stickers removed carefully (or left for us)

Then drive it straight to us on Lilford Street. The less that's done to the paint before we see it, the better the final result.

New EVs

New EVs — Tesla, Polestar, BYD and others — are among our most common new-car protection jobs. They often arrive with noticeable transport and prep defects, and because EV owners tend to keep their cars longer, protection pays back over years of easier washing and preserved paintwork.

New-car protection pricing
