The New Car Protection
Welcome to Kleen Machine`s new car protection page. Below is what we offer 
​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 un-clayed 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 £150,000 Range Rover Sport or Ferrari.
We offer 5 paint protection packages:
1. A Glass Coating from CarPro - CQuartz Finest
2. Carpro Essence Protection + Reload Sio Coating
3. Carpro Cquarts - Uk or Classic Eddition 
4. Regular Detail Package - to suit your budget and keep you car protected.
5.Air glide system , Cross linking Nano protection
Hi I Had this Jaguar XF in for New Car Protection Package . This  car is to be a  regular so he opted for the CarPro Essence and Reload Sio2 Sealant and wax top up as a Regular Detail Package on monthly bases. Along with regular washes and  Protection top ups this will keep this car as good as new  for years to come.
​For More Information Click Detailing Service Below :-​Visit our other Blogs in the Classic Car Series here with the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB , Porsche Targa , Jaguar F Type, Porsche 911 , E-Type Jaguar , Lotus Elise, Aston Martin DB5,  Ford Focus ST500 and more on our Blog Post here.
QUARTZ COATING VS WAXES-COMPARISON
Quartz coating is a liquid, SiO2-based medium which protects painted automotive surfaces. Traditional waxes contain, in most cases, the Carnauba wax of Brazilian palm trees, beeswax or KPS-type, synthetic waxes.
