Audi A5 Black Edition — Chronos Grey Metallic, protected for years to come.
Fresh off the delivery mileage, this A5 came in for my New Car Ceramic Coating Detail — and I made sure that stunning Chronos Grey Metallic finish stays looking exactly this good for as long as possible.
Here's what went into it:
- Full decontamination wash, clay bar treatment & polish prep — no swirls or contamination sealed in
- Carbon Collective ceramic coating applied to the paintwork for serious long-term protection, self-healing properties, and next-level gloss
- Alloy wheels removed and individually ceramic coated — protected from brake dust, road grime, and easier to keep clean
- Glass coated for improved water shedding and visibility in the rain
The result? A car that beads water on contact, resists road grime and UV fade, and holds that deep metallic depth of colour for years — not months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why remove the wheels to coat them, rather than coating them on the car? Removing the wheels allows full decontamination and coating of the wheel barrels as well as the faces — the areas most exposed to brake dust — giving more complete, longer-lasting protection than coating the faces alone.
Why coat the glass as well as the paintwork? A glass coating improves water shedding, which means better visibility in wet weather and less smearing when the wipers are used — a small addition that makes a noticeable difference on rainy motorway drives.
How soon after delivery should I get a new car ceramic coated? As soon as possible — ideally before the first proper wash. New paint can pick up marks from daily driving and washing surprisingly quickly, so coating it early locks in that factory-fresh finish.
How much does new car ceramic coating cost? Pricing starts from £460 for the Feynlab V2 Ceramic Coating on a small vehicle, rising depending on vehicle size and the coating system chosen. The Carbon Collective 5-year system starts from £560.
If you've just picked up a new car, this is the best time to protect it — before daily driving gets the chance to dull it.
