Preparing Your New Car

Have you purchased a new car?

At the dealership they will usaully offer you after care packages such as Supaguard, G3 Glass coat or Autoglym. These attractive packages offer a “detailer style” prep on your new car + a top coat of either wax or a ceramic coating.

Unfortuantely, these coatings are often not applied correctly, and this results in short life span and poor performance . At Autoshine we are able to provide ceramic coatings which are for professional use only. Professionally applied for a longer durability.

Coating and protecting your vehicle from day one makes your life easier. Your paint stays glossy for longer and most importantly it is easier to clean and maintain. Working with many local dealers we are able where we can professionally detail and prepare your car using authorised detailer products including Gtechniq’s Crystal Serum Ultra.

Preparing Your New Car

If possible, when brand new, we advise to not have the car washed or prepared by the dealer.

Unfortunately due to the volume of cars they have to prepare, the equipment is often dirty and they simply cannot spend sufficient time required to make your car look how it should! At Autoshine, our sole focus over the course of a will be your car, giving it the time it deserves!

Preparing a new car is like any other. On a new car you may experience less dirt and grime, however, contaminants like fall-out, iron and tar can be easily picked up during transit. Just because your car is new, it doesn’t mean your paint is perfect!
