I Had this Mini Cooper s in for one of our Ceramic Coating Package`s from CarPro from our New Car Protection Range of services here at Kleen Machine in Cheltenham. In this Blog I will show you a step by step guide into the intensive process to the New Car Protection for these Coatings
CarPro Cquartz Coating provide better gloss levels , a harder surface and better scratch resistance than your original paintwork, making the car less likely to get minor scratches, 100% easier to clean and stays cleaner longer.
Carpro Cquartz Ceramic Protection Is the more Durable than wax or sealants and Protection is measured in years not months.
We Car offer you the best Ceramic coating protection service in Cheltenham

So if you want your new car to have the best start CarPro Cquartz and Ceramic Coatings are the best option.
Because this was a few months old and had been washed badly ,the paint needed correction due to swirls and scratches prior to the Ceramic Coating process.
Ceramic Coatings need to done at a controlled temperature and left inside for at least 12 hours.

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.
