Coat it before the first wash.
A new car is the best time for a ceramic coating. Call before its first trip through a car wash.
- Least polishing, best result
- Protected from day one
- Same day on most levels
Least polishing
New paint has the least wear, so it needs the least correction before the coating goes on.
Protected from wash one
Brushes start marring new paint on the first visit. Coat it first.
Still decontaminated
Cars pick up fallout on the lot and in transport. It all comes off before the coating.
New car questions.
How soon after buying should I coat my new car?
Before its first trip through a car wash, ideally. Brushes start marring new paint on the first visit, and a coating protects it from that first wash on.
Does a brand-new car need polishing?
Usually very little, which is why new is the best time to coat. It still gets a full wash and decontamination, because cars pick up fallout sitting on the lot and in transport.
Will a coating protect against rock chips on a new car?
No. Chips need paint protection film, which we refer to Yellow Jacket Tinting. Film and coating are often paired: film on the front, coating everywhere.
