New Cars Aren’t Perfect
One of the biggest misconceptions in the automotive world is that brand-new cars leave the dealership in perfect condition.
In reality, your vehicle may already have experienced:
- Transport contamination
- Rail dust and iron fallout
- Light swirl marks from dealership washing
- Fine scratches from pre-delivery preparation
- Environmental fallout whilst awaiting collection
That’s why many owners choose to have their vehicle professionally inspected and prepared before it enters everyday life.
A New Car Detail removes light imperfections, enhances gloss and prepares the paintwork before applying long-term protection.

“Excellent work carried out by Ultra Radiance. Lewis is a top lad who is hard working and the work shows. Had my work van for a polish and valet before getting it sign written all by Ultra Radiance and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I now get the van cleaned by Lewis on a monthly basis to keep it in tip top condition and professional looking. Lewis even came to where I was working on the day to clean the van!!Highly recommended and wouldn’t use anyone else!”
Josh, Google
“What can I say! Honestly absolutely blown away with the work Lewis and his team have done on my B7 RS4 at their HQ in Highnam Gloucester. The car went in for the full works – stage 2 polish, ceramic coat etc. I’m so impressed with firstly the communication and customer service but also the quality of work. The paint correction on the car has transformed the way it looks. Couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend to anyone!”
JMS, Google
“The first word out of my mouth when I saw the transformation was “Wow!!!” Ultra Radiance Detailing have given my old banger a whole new lease of life! A big thank you to the team. They worked tirelessly in very wet and rainy conditions and still managed to transform the interior. They managed to remove all the tar and nicotine stains from the previous owner. I am so grateful! Thank you!”

New Car Detailing & Protection FAQs
Below are some of the most common questions we receive about car detailing, ceramic coating and paint protection film at Ultra Radiance Detailing. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Why Protect A New Car Immediately?
Protecting your vehicle from new offers several advantages:
- Preserve the factory finish
- Prevent stone chips before they happen
- Reduce swirl marks caused by washing
- Keep your vehicle cleaner between washes
- Make maintenance easier
- Maintain stronger resale values
- Enjoy your new car without worrying about every motorway journey
The earlier protection is installed, the better the long-term results.
Ceramic Coating Vs Paint Protection Film
This is one of the most frequently asked questions for new and used cars. They are two very different products, so here’s a quick overview.
Ceramic Coating for new cars:
- Adds gloss
- Easier to wash
- Hydrophobic
- Chemical and UV protection
- Up to 10 years
Paint Protection Film for new cars:
- Prevents stone chips
- Physical impact protection
- Self healing technology
- Scratch resistance
- Long term paint preservation
For the ultimate protection – PPF is the No.1 choice, but customers looking for a more affordable option Ceramic Coating is best for the budget. Many customers today choose a combination of the two – protecting the front end and most likely areas to get stone chips combined with ceramic coating for all other surfaces.
Can you protect a leased or PCP vehicle?
Absolutely.
New Car Protection is an excellent investment for leased and PCP vehicles, helping minimise paint damage throughout your agreement.
Keeping your vehicle in excellent condition can also help reduce the risk of end-of-contract charges for cosmetic damage, while making routine washing much easier during ownership.
Will ceramic coating stop stone chips?
No.
Ceramic coating protects against contamination, UV rays, road grime and makes your vehicle much easier to maintain, but it does not provide impact protection.
If your main concern is preventing stone chips, we recommend Paint Protection Film (PPF), which creates a physical barrier over your paintwork.
Is Paint Protection Film worth it on a new car?
For many owners, yes.
Modern vehicles are exposed to loose stones, grit and road debris from the moment they’re driven away from the dealership. Even careful drivers can experience stone chips within the first few thousand miles.
PPF protects your paintwork from everyday damage, helping preserve your vehicle’s appearance and resale value for years to come.
Can ceramic coating and Paint Protection Film be combined?
Yes, and this is one of our most popular options.
We often install Paint Protection Film on the areas most exposed to impact, such as the front bumper, bonnet, wings and mirrors, before applying a ceramic coating to the remaining painted surfaces, wheels and exterior glass.
This combination delivers outstanding gloss, effortless maintenance and the highest level of protection against everyday driving.
How long does New Car Protection take?
The time required depends on the package you choose.
As a guide:
- New Car Ceramic Coating: 1–2 days
- Front End PPF & Ceramic Coating: 3–5 days
- Full Vehicle Paint Protection Film: 3–5 days
We’ll always provide an estimated completion time when you book your vehicle.
Can you collect my new car from the dealership?
Yes. Subject to availability, we may be able to arrange collection directly from your supplying dealership.
This allows your vehicle to come straight to our Gloucester studio, avoiding unnecessary exposure to road contamination before it’s professionally prepared and protected.
If you’re interested in dealership collection, simply mention it when requesting your quotation.
