Car Detailing Kent

Our New Car Paint Protection Detail is specifically designed to ensure your new vehicle begins its life in the best possible way and is fully protected over time. We safely prepare your new vehicle at our studio close to you in Kent in the way that it deserves before applying quality products to all exterior surfaces. These provide great protection, easy maintenance and amazing levels of gloss.

Giving your new car the best possible protection and finish throughout its lifetime

You’d expect a new car to be delivered and presented with immaculate paintwork, with nothing to hide. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. From delivery, we have seen resprayed panels to sanding marks and buffer trails. Storage conditions, transportation damage and poor preparation during Pre-Delivery Inspection at the Dealership can cause many defects and problem areas that may need addressing, such as fine scratches, surface marring, factory induced sanding marks, holograms, metallic fallout and lacquer “fish eyes” to name a few.

If you bought your vehicle from a local Kent showroom, they’ll have probably offered you their in-house packages such as Supaguard, AutoGlym, Lifeshine, DiamondBrite and GardX with “lifetime paint protection” and other big claims that cost £400+ but in reality, they offer poor value for money.

These products are often applied incorrectly, without any prior preparation to the paintwork and over poorly prepared paint finishes as the in-house valet team are given short timescales (1-2 Hours) with minimal training on how to correctly prepare and protect your newly purchased car.

Our New Car Detail typically takes 1-2 days (not 1 -2 hours) at our Kent car detailing workshop and uses some the industries finest tools, chemicals and coatings; protecting your car between 12 months to 5 years. Thanks to the state of the art nano-ceramic coatings we provide unrivalled UV resistance, dirt repellency, easy clean and swirl resistance. With our Total Surface Protection package, we offer coatings for the alloys to be removed and coated inside and out, exterior glass coated and sealed with a durable rain repellent, interior protected with nano-ceramic coatings on carpets, Alcantara and leather to protect against any dirt & dye.

All in, this is the best start in life for your investment.

It is advised to ask your Kent dealership not to touch the car prior to collection, with no wash or polish as this way, we reduce the need for costly paint correction where fine scratches and swirls could have easily been induced in the preparation stages.

This is a 2 stage detail designed to remove 75-85% of all surface defects including oxidation and some heavier scratches that a 1 stage polish may be unable to remove. The process begins with a first stage medium-strong cut compound to remove defects and is then followed by a second polishing stage to refine the paintwork and increase gloss levels.

The rate for a stage 2 correction can vary depending on the car but we will consult with each customer to provide a more accurate expectation. Why not bring your car to our Kent workshop for a quote?

Ceramic coatings are a state of the art protection, which are highly resistant to scratches, whilst protecting your paintwork from the elements, such as road salt, while also offering high amounts of gloss levels.

Our coatings are very hydrophobic offering fantastic water beading and water repellent properties, which in effect means it literally cleans itself.

Also making it much easier to clean. Unlike many sealant packages once applied no more waxing will be required.

This detail is best suited for cars that have been detailed previously at some stage of their life and/or new cars before the application of paint protection film or ceramic coating. If your car has been used regularly and exposed to the elements, it would be better suited for a stage 2/3 detail.

Surface scratches and light marring will let down a vehicle’s appearance and leave a dull, hazy finish. The enhancement detail is designed to enhance the gloss, clarity and depth of your paintwork through the use of very mild abrasives and a foam finishing pad. This will remove the bulk of the swirling marks and present your car with a glossier finish.
