Absolutely. The best time to apply ceramic coating is when your vehicle is brand new. Protecting the paint from day one helps prevent environmental contamination, UV damage, bird droppings, bug splatter and makes future washing much easier while maintaining a deep, glossy finish.

Our coatings range from up to 5 years with Crystal Serum Light to up to 9 years with Crystal Serum Ultra when maintained correctly. The lifespan depends on the coating selected and ongoing vehicle care.

Most new cars don't require heavy paint correction, but they often arrive with light swirl marks, transport contamination or dealership wash marks. Every vehicle receives a thorough inspection and paint preparation before ceramic coating is applied.

Every New Car Ceramic Coating includes:

• Safe pre-wash 
• Iron decontamination 
• Clay bar treatment 
• Panel wipe preparation 
• Professional ceramic coating application 
• Aftercare advice 

Additional protection for wheels, glass and interior surfaces is available.

Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof or stone-chip proof. It adds a durable protective layer that offers improved resistance to light wash marring and chemical damage, but it won't replace Paint Protection Film (PPF).

Many dealership coatings are applied quickly with minimal paint preparation. As an Accredited Gtechniq Installer, we perform proper paint preparation before applying professional-grade coatings to maximize durability, gloss and long-term performance.
