New Car Protection in Henley-in-Arden
Dealer marring removed, then professional-grade ceramic protection for paint, wheels and glass — so your new car stays looking new.
New cars around Henley and Lapworth tend to arrive from prestige dealers, and prestige dealers tend to sell paint protection at handover. Some of it is worthwhile. A good deal of it is a quickly applied sealant with a short working life, sold at a price that suggests otherwise, applied over marring that the pre-delivery wash put into the paint. The first thing we do with a new car here is look honestly at what is actually on it.
Whatever is there comes off during preparation, because a ceramic coating must bond to clean lacquer — so the question is not whether to replace it but whether you want the dealer's marring sealed in or removed first. The New Car Protection Package removes it: a light enhancement polish, then a ceramic coating on the paintwork, a heat-resistant coating on the wheels and a hydrophobic coating on the glass. Full warranty and aftercare package included.
We work in garages and on driveways across the town and the villages, and a Henley garage with the door open is close to the ideal place for it: shelter, controlled light, a dry space for the initial cure. For a car that will be garaged and driven at weekends the coating does its best work over years rather than months — the occasional wash stays quick and safe, and the paint stays as the factory finished it.
Blue Horizon Detailing · The difference, explained
Better paint. Lasting protection.
Two different treatments, one considered approach: restore the finish, then help preserve it.
- 01
PAINT CORRECTION
Swirls & light scratches
Machine polishing reduces suitable surface defects and restores clarity. A coating does not remove scratches.
- 02
CERAMIC PROTECTION
Everyday contamination
Adds chemical resistance against road film and environmental contamination. Remove bird droppings promptly.
- 03
CERAMIC PROTECTION
Water repellency
Water beads and sheds more readily, making careful washing easier. Water spots can still form.
- 04
CORRECT + PROTECT
Gloss worth preserving
Correction refines the finish; ceramic coating helps retain its gloss with the right washing and aftercare.
Who It Suits
Why Henley-in-Arden Owners Book New Car Protection
Prestige cars with dealer protection
We inspect what the dealer applied and tell you honestly. Sealants with a short life are common; whatever is there comes off during preparation.
Garaged weekend cars
Coated from new, a garaged car keeps its factory finish for years. Dust lifts with a rinseless wash and the pre-drive clean stays quick.
Owners who intend to keep the car
Protection from new is the cheapest route to paint that still looks new at five years. On a car bought to be kept, it is the obvious first job.
The Process
How We Carry Out New Car Protection
Inspection
New cars are rarely perfect. We check for the wash marring and transport marks dealers leave behind and measure the paint.
Decontamination
Safe wash, fallout removal and clay bar — even a new car has picked up contamination in transit and on the forecourt.
Enhancement
Light machine polish to remove dealer marring so the coating goes onto paint as it left the factory, not as it left the dealer.
Protection
Ceramic coating on paintwork, plus wheel and glass coatings.
Aftercare
Handover with clear guidance on the first wash and ongoing care. Full warranty and aftercare package included.
Worth knowing: This package is designed for vehicles with little to no wear. If a car has been on the road long enough to pick up real defects, one of the correction packages is the better starting point.
Starting Price
From £675
Final price depends on vehicle size and paint condition. We confirm it before any work starts — nothing is added on the day.

Why Owners Trust Us
The Reassurance Comes Before the Result
Handing over a vehicle you care about takes a certain amount of trust. These are the things owners tell us mattered most before they booked.
Personally led by Josh
Josh May personally assesses your vehicle, agrees the scope and remains responsible for the standard of the work.
Assessed before anything is touched
Paint is inspected, and where it matters, measured. Some vehicles need correcting; some genuinely do not. We would rather talk you out of work you do not need than sell it to you.
Prestige and specialist vehicles as routine
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche, Lamborghini, Range Rover, AMG, classics and modern performance cars are regular work for us — alongside family cars, vans and everything in between.
Professional care at your home
We bring our own water supply and professional equipment. We need a safe space around your vehicle and access to a standard 13 amp power socket.
Deliberately limited availability
Correction and coating work is booked in small numbers because it cannot be rushed. It means dates are finite — and that every vehicle on the calendar gets the full time it needs.
Work you can check
70+ Google reviews, and a lifetime ownership guarantee on the workmanship behind every SMART repair we complete.

Questions
New Car Protection in Henley-in-Arden — Asked Often
We can tell you after inspecting. How water behaves on the paint and how contamination is bonded reveal what is there. Some dealer packages are genuine coatings; many are sealants with a working life measured in months. Either way, our preparation removes it so the ceramic coating bonds to clean lacquer, and the enhancement polish removes the marring most dealers leave underneath.
