New Car Protection in Shipston-on-Stour
Dealer marring removed, then professional-grade ceramic protection for paint, wheels and glass — so your new car stays looking new.
The lanes around Shipston start on a new car the day it arrives. Limestone dust in summer, mud from October, hedges that reach into the road, and the first bucket wash that grinds all of it into fresh lacquer. A new car on Cotswold-edge roads accumulates more wash damage in its first year than in any other, and all of it is avoidable if the paint is protected before the first month is out.
The New Car Protection Package is that protection. We inspect and measure the paint, remove the marring the dealer left with a light enhancement polish, and apply a ceramic coating to the paintwork so dust and mud lift with a pre-rinse instead of being scrubbed. The wheels get a heat-resistant coating so brake dust and lane grit do not bond; the glass gets a hydrophobic coating so rain sheets off the windscreen on an unlit lane. Full warranty and aftercare package included.
Shipston is the far south of our coverage, so we plan the visit: a fixed date, usually grouped with work in the Stratford direction, and the whole package completed in one full day on your driveway. We bring water and need only a socket. Book as soon as you have a delivery date and the car goes into its first winter here with the paint 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 Shipston-on-Stour Owners Book New Car Protection
New cars on Cotswold-edge lanes
Dust and mud from week one. A coating means they rinse off fresh paint rather than being ground into it at the first wash.
One planned visit
The distance means we fix a date and complete the whole package in a day. No second trip, no squeezing it in.
Cars that will be kept
A car coated on delivery and washed properly still has its original finish years on. Protecting early is far cheaper than correcting later.
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.
