New Car Paint Protection - Why Choose Choose Us To Detail Your Car and CarPro CQuartz Finest or Professional Coatings?
As most people know when you buy a new car the dealership will offer you some sort of paint and interior protection packages, they will tell you that it is the best package for you.
In most instances it is not as high quality or as durable as the product most Detailers like myself are applying. The biggest problems with the protection packages is not the just the products but how they are applied and most importantly, the preparation of the surfaces of the paint before it is applied.
We have seen it applied over the top of fall out, over sprayed and unclayed panels therefore leaving very little protection, if any at all.
If you are spending £450 or more for protection you want the BEST preparation for your car, be it a Ford Focus or Range Rover Sport or Ferrari.

I Had this BMW M3 - Executive Detailing Package & Enhancement Detail At the Workshop in Cheltenham at Kleen Machine a couple of weeks ago .
As you Can see from the before photo`s it had been sat for a while with a lot of green around the windows and for some reason the bonnet and boot had gone really dull. Probably due have some paint work at sometime .
Due to time and weather conditions I didn't have any of the wash process photo`s.
Above all this the car was machined over several times to get the gloss back and remove swirls , then finished with a couple of the great quality and durable A.P.E Hybrid wax sealant.
