Just picked up a new car? Don't leave its finish unprotected. This Audi A5 Sportback in Chronos Grey Metallic came into the workshop in Paisley, near Glasgow, for my New Car Ceramic Coating Detail — protected with Feynlab V2 Ceramic Coating to keep it looking better than showroom condition for years to come.
Why New Cars Need Protection From Day One
Most new cars arrive with:
- Light swirl marks from dealership prep and handling
- Paint contamination picked up during transport
- Poor or no factory-applied protection
Coating early — before the first proper wash — means the paintwork is protected at its best, rather than after months of marks have already built up.
Pre-Coating Preparation
Before coating, the A5 went through a full safe wash & decontamination, snow foam, iron fallout remover, clay bar, to remove any contamination from transport and handling, followed by a paint enhancement (machine polish) to bring out maximum gloss and clarity before the coating was applied.
Ceramic Coating Application
The Chronos Grey Metallic paintwork was protected with Feynlab V2 Ceramic Coating, giving:
- Deep gloss finish – enhancing the richness of the Chronos Grey paint
- Durable, long-lasting protection – guarding against road grime, contaminants, and fading
- Easier maintenance – water and dirt bead and slide off, speeding up future washes
- Resistance to harsh Scottish weather – protection against rain, road salt, and UV exposure year-round
Package & Pricing
New car protection starts from £460, including:
- Deep cleaning and decontamination
- Paint enhancement (machine polish)
- 2–5 year ceramic coating options, depending on the level of protection chosen
Full details are available on the Price List.
The Result
The Audi A5 Sportback left the workshop with a deep, glossy finish and long-term protection against everything a Scottish winter (and the rest of the year) can throw at it.
Review by Rob Mul - "I recently took my Audi A5 to Davie at DMD detailing in Paisley for a full detail, including multi-stage machine polishing and a ceramic coating. The results are excellent – the metallic paintwork has a deep mirror-like gloss and the minor swirl marks are completely gone. Davie’s workshop is professional and he clearly takes great pride in his work. If you want your car looking better than new and protected for the long term, I highly recommend his services."
Frequently Asked Questions
Why coat a brand new car if the paint has no visible defects? New paint is at its best before it picks up any swirl marks or contamination — coating it early locks in that factory-fresh finish rather than protecting it after damage has already occurred.
What's included in the £460 new car protection package? Deep cleaning, full decontamination, a paint enhancement machine polish pass, and a ceramic coating with options ranging from 2 to 5 years of protection.
How long does new car ceramic coating take on an Audi A5? 3 days — depends on decontamination needs and coating option chosen.
Does ceramic coating really help with Scottish weather? Yes — a ceramic coating adds a hydrophobic, UV-resistant barrier that helps protect against road salt, rain, and grime, and makes it far easier to keep the car clean through the wetter months.
