Should You Ceramic Coat a Brand-New Car?
Why a brand-new car is the ideal candidate for ceramic coating, why new paint still needs preparation and which coating package suits new vehicles.
A new car is the perfect candidate for a ceramic coating. The paint has had the least exposure to swirls, etching and fading, so protecting it now keeps it looking new for years.
"But my new car's paint is perfect"
Not always. New vehicles often arrive with:
- Light swirls from dealership washing.
- Transport film residue and fallout.
- Iron particles picked up in transit.
That is why every coating we install starts with a thorough wash, chemical and mechanical decontamination and gloss enhancement or correction.
Which package for a new car?
- 5-Year Ceramic Coating (from $1,200): includes a one-step gloss enhancement, which is often all a new car needs.
- 10-Year Ceramic Coating (from $1,700): adds a one-step paint correction and windshield coating. Ideal if you plan to keep the car for many years.
Add-ons worth considering
Wheels-off coating, full glass coating, trim coating and interior ceramic protection can all be added.
Coat early
The sooner you coat after delivery, the less damage there is to correct and the more of the paint's life is protected.
