A new car does not need correcting, it needs sealing before the world gets to it. Paint, glass and wheels all under a 7 year ceramic coating, in one visit, at a fixed price — before the first wash, the first car park and the first winter.
Every other coating job starts with polishing out damage that is already there, and that is most of the labour. A new car skips it entirely — which is why this costs less than the same coating on a two year old car and takes one visit instead of two.
This is where quotes quietly get cheaper. Glass and wheel coatings are easy to leave at the entry grade because nobody reads that line on the invoice. All three surfaces here get the same 7 year chemistry.
Not a starting figure with a survey to follow. There is nothing to discover on a car with delivery miles on it, so the number we say on the phone is the number you pay: £499 regular, £549 large.
Tell us the collection date and we will hold a slot just after it. The aim is that the car is coated before it is ever washed, because every wash beforehand is one whose marks get sealed under the coating.
A new car is not a clean car. It has been transported, stood on a forecourt, had a valet with whatever was in the bucket, and picked up rail dust and transit film on the way. All of that has to come off before anything goes on.
Leave it unwashed for seven days afterwards while the coating finishes hardening.
Cars only — under 1,000 miles and less than a year old. Vans are quoted separately.
Fixed, not a guide. There is nothing to discover on a car with delivery miles on it, which is the whole reason it can be priced honestly before we see it.
Regular — hatchback, saloon or estate. Fiesta, Golf, A3, 3 Series, Octavia. Large — SUV, 4x4 or 7-seater. Range Rover, X5, Discovery, Kodiaq, Transporter. Vans are quoted separately. These are starting prices — a car in poor condition takes longer, and we agree the exact figure with you before we start, never after.
Most of the cost in detailing is setup and decontamination, and doing all of this in one visit pays for it once instead of five times. These are our own published prices for the same work booked separately:
A saving of £91 — and the coatings are the 7 year grade throughout rather than the 3 year the separate packages start at.
It is the one moment where the answer is easy, and it has nothing to do with how good the coating is. On any other car, a coating job is mostly correction — hours of machine polishing to undo swirls and wash marks before a single drop of coating goes on, because sealing damaged paint makes the damage permanent. A new car has none of that. You are paying for the coating and the day, not for the repair.
The second thing you are buying is time. A coated car takes a fraction as long to wash, and it stays looking washed for weeks rather than days. Over seven years that is the difference between a car you keep on top of and one you keep meaning to get round to.
Nothing is lost — it just becomes a different job. Stage 1 with a coating suits a car that is still in good order; Stage 2 is for paint that has been washed badly for a few years. Both are on the ceramic coating page with their own prices. Ceramic coating packages
Read what it actually is. Handover paint protection is very often a sealant with a warranty attached rather than a ceramic coating, measured in months, and applied over whatever state the car arrived in. Ask two questions: what is the coating, and how long does it last on the glass and wheels. The answers tend to settle it.
Then you want the All In One — a full two-stage correction plus the coating. That is the right call on a car that is not new, and overkill on one that is. The All In One
