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.

Aston Martin DB5 - Executive Valeting Detailing Services in Andoversford The Cotswolds - Kleen Machine
I had a Aston Martin DB5 in for The Prestige Detailing Package in Andoversford at Cotswold Prestige Cars in Andoversford , they had had it in for a lot of work and wanted it to go back to the client in a nice clean order. The car wasn't too bad just had collected a bit of dust and the interior needed a good clean and detail and leather seats needed a clean and treatment. Outside there was a lot of dust and wax and compound that had built up over the years, not uncommon for a classic car of this age.
