New car? Protect it before it's too late. This brand-new Volkswagen ID.3, finished in Moonstone Grey, has just left the workshop after receiving my New Car Ceramic Coating Detail. The paintwork was professionally protected with Carbon Collective Ceramic Coating over a thorough 2-day process, giving it:
- Incredible gloss
- Outstanding water beading
- Long-lasting protection from the elements
- Easier maintenance and safer washing
The paintwork condition on arrival, aside from light dealership prep marring, was in excellent factory condition.
Why Two Days?
A proper new car protection job isn't a quick once-over. Over the two days, the ID.3 went through decontamination wash / prep steps, snow foam, contact wash, iron fallout remover, clay bar, paint enhancement, etc. before the ceramic coating itself was applied and allowed to properly cure — the kind of thorough approach that gets results like the one described in the review below.
Ceramic Coating Application
The Moonstone Grey paintwork was treated with Carbon Collective Ceramic Coating, applied in 2 layers, delivering a durable, hydrophobic barrier that keeps the paint looking newer for longer while making every future wash faster and safer.
The Result
The best time to protect your paintwork is before it starts to deteriorate. This ID.3 left the workshop with a deep, glossy finish, outstanding water beading, and long-term protection against everything the road and Scottish weather can throw at it.
Review by Jim Smith - "Tricia took her new VW (200mls) into David at DMD detailing in Paisley. Great communication during the 2day process, and boy were we please with the ceramic coating, looks better than it did 3 weeks ago when we picked it up. Great experience."
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does new car protection take 2 days? A proper job involves full decontamination, careful prep, and time for the ceramic coating to cure correctly — rushing any of these steps compromises the finish and the durability of the coating.
Why ceramic coat a car with only 200 miles on it? The earlier you protect new paint, the better — this ID.3 was coated at just 200 miles, before any swirl marks or contamination had a chance to build up, locking in that factory-fresh finish from the very start.
How much does 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.
How long does ceramic coating last on a new car?
It depends on the product used. Feynlab V2 typically lasts up to 2 years, making it a good fit for lease vehicles or cars you plan to change every couple of years. The Carbon Collective Multilayering System can protect your paintwork for up to 5 years with the right aftercare, and is better suited to cars you intend to keep long-term.
