New Car Protection in Rugby
Dealer marring removed, then professional-grade ceramic protection for paint, wheels and glass — so your new car stays looking new.
Rugby is where we are based, and for a new car that turns out to be useful. Protection is not a single event. The coating goes on once, but what keeps it working is what happens afterwards — the first wash done properly, a check a few months on, a decontamination when the beading starts to fade. For a Rugby car all of that is a short drive, which is why so many of the new cars we protect here end up on a maintenance schedule that keeps them looking as they did on day one.
The package itself starts with an honest inspection. New cars are prepared quickly, and the marring left by a dealer's wash and a rushed polish can mark their clear coat. A light enhancement polish removes it, so the coating bonds to a factory finish rather than a forecourt one. Then the ceramic coating on paint, a heat-resistant coating on the wheels, and a hydrophobic coating on the glass — aftercare guidance and written warranty terms included.
We carry it out on driveways across the town, and Rugby's newer estates in Cawston and Brownsover give us ideal conditions. For a car that will spend its life on the M1, M6 and A5 — as most Rugby cars do — the coating earns its keep from the first motorway week, when the road film rinses off instead of bonding.
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 Rugby Owners Book New Car Protection
New cars on motorway commutes
Rugby sits on the M1, M6 and A5, and a new car meets all three within days of delivery. Coated from new, the grime that would bond to bare lacquer rinses off, and the first winter does no lasting harm.
Owners who want aftercare handled
Because we are local, the maintenance that keeps a coating performing — proper washes, periodic decontamination — is easy to schedule. Rugby owners tend to hand that to us and stop thinking about it.
Cars bought from out-of-town dealers
Wherever the car came from, the dealer preparation was quick. The enhancement polish in this package removes what they left behind before it is sealed under the coating.
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 Rugby — Asked Often
Whatever suits you. At minimum, clear guidance on the first wash and what to avoid. Beyond that, many Rugby owners put the car on a maintenance schedule — a safe wash every few weeks and a decontamination when the coating needs it — because we are ten minutes away and it is easy to arrange. The coating performs for years either way; maintained, it performs at its best.
