New Car Detail

 

From day one, ensuring new cars are ready for the road with the best possible protection and finish throughout


New Car Preparations are often overlooked. “It’s brand new! It shouldn’t need polishing!?”


You’d expect a new car to be delivered and presented with the utmost of care, boasting flawless paintwork and perfect in every way (with nothing to hide). Unfortunately, this is rarely the case! We’ve seen it all. From resprayed panels on Ford’s, to sanding marks and machine buffertrails on Ferrari’s. Whether it’s a £10,000 city car or a £200,000 super car, it’s nice to be able to know the whole story.


Storage conditions, damage in transportation and at the factory and poor unskilled PDI preparation at the Dealership can lead to a whole array of defects and problem areas that may need addressing. Fine scratches, surface marring, factory induced sanding marks, machine holograms, bird lime etching, metallic fallout and lacquer “fish eyes” to name but a few.


Although you’re likely to be offered the in-house ‘paint protection packages’ with “5 years protection”, “no more polishing” and other such big claims, in reality, they offer poor value for money (package’s such as Supaguard, LifeShine, DiamondBrite and Gard X). These products are often applied incorrectly and over poorly prepared paint finishes as the in-house valet team are given strict timescales with minimal training on how to correctly prepare and protect your newly purchased pride and joy.


Our New Car Detail typically takes 1-2 days (not 1-2 hours) and comprises of some of the industries’ finest tools, chemicals and coatings; protecting your investment for 18-24 months. Giving paintwork unrivalled UV resistance, dirt repellency, easy clean and swirl resistance thanks to the state of the art nano quartz coatings. With our New Car Detail Extra’s Pack, alloy wheels are removed to be coated inside and out, exterior glass sealed with a durable rain repellent, interior upholstery treated to a scotch guard fabric protectant and leather seats receiving a water-based dirt & dye transfer barrier. All in, the best start in life for your investment.


It is advised to ask the supplying Dealership not to touch the car prior to collection. No wash. No polish… This way, we reduce the need for costly paint correction services where fine scratches and swirls from bad contact could have easily been induced in the preparation stages.

Process...

Exterior

  •   Pre-detail Inspection is carried out taking note of any damage found on the car prior to us undertaking any work. 
  • Paintwork is inspected for defects and thickness measured using a paint depth gauge to highlight and repainted or areas of high risk before paint correction is carried out. 
  • Pre rinse to remove loose dirt.
  • A full Citrus Pre-wash of the car, removing dirt without physically touching the vehicle.
  • Intricate details on the car are agitated with soft brushes to ensure no dirt is missed during the wash stage.
  • Wheels washed front and back using an Acid free wheel cleaner and soft brushes, safe for any finish.
  • Wheel arches washed down to remove as much dirt & grime as possible.
  • Vehicle washed using a microfibre wash mitt and 2 buckets (One for rinse, one for wash to avoid putting dirt back on the car that could inflict swirls).
  • Bonded iron contaminants removed from paint using a dedicated fallout remover.
  • Bonded tar contaminants removed using tar remover.
  • Second Pre-wash to ensure all products used are fully removed 
  • Clay bar is then used as a final decontamination step to remove contamination that are lodged into the paintwork.
  • Single stage machine polishing process to remove fine swirl marks restoring gloss & depth of shine (60-70% reduction in swirl marks)Wheels hand polished and prepared for protection
  • Multi stage polishing if opting for New car detail - level 2
  • Exhaust tail pipes polished to restore appearance
  • Paint cleansed and wiped down in preparation for protection, allowing total bonding with the paintwork.
