Preparing a New Car for Ceramic Coating

A new car can still need preparation before a ceramic coating. I inspect the finish and discuss the work before agreeing a quote.

Before collection

Ask the dealer what paint preparation and protection are included. If you are arranging a detail or coating separately, discuss that before handover so the work can be planned.

Checking the finish

Look at the paint in good light and note any marks you would like assessed. The preparation needed depends on the condition of the car when it arrives.

Preparing for a coating

New car protection can include decontamination, refinement polishing and a ceramic coating. I recommend combining a coating with machine polishing to prepare a fresh, contaminant-free surface.

Preparation, coating and curing take place at the Llay workshop. Send the car’s details to discuss the work and timing.
