Protecting a Brand New Aston Martin from Day One – No Swirl Marks, No Regrets!

When Nimesh picked up his brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish, he wanted to keep it looking fresh for as long as possible. The car was everything you'd expect from a new Aston, sharp lines, perfect paint, and serious presence on the road.

At the dealership, he was offered a ceramic coating package for over £2,000. Tempting, but it felt overpriced. And did a brand-new car really need that kind of protection so soon?

A bit of digging online changed his mind. Nimesh realised that even factory-fresh paint is vulnerable. Swirl marks and micro-scratches can show up within days from washing or drying the car. Bird droppings, tree sap, pollen, and road grime can also stain or etch the clear coat if left untreated.

Within a week of collecting the car, he booked a ceramic coating service with us. The goal was simple: lock in that brand-new look and protect it from the start.

We treated the Vanquish with our premium ceramic coating. Even on a new vehicle, we begin with a light single-stage polish to remove any micro imperfections from manufacturing or transport. Once the surface is perfected, the coating is applied — and the difference was immediate. The finish deepened, the gloss stepped up, and the paint became far easier to clean.

Six months later, Nimesh still gets that “just collected” feeling every time he looks at his car. We maintain the Vanquish every two weeks, and it hasn’t lost an ounce of shine.

"I honestly didn’t expect a ceramic coating could make a new car look newer — but it really did. Now they maintain it every two weeks. Highly recommended."

Ceramic coating a brand-new car is the perfect way to start ownership on the right foot. The paint is at its best, and with a flawless base, the coating bonds stronger and lasts longer. It locks in the finish, repels early swirl marks, and adds durable protection from day one.

The result? A slick, hydrophobic surface that repels water, dirt, and road film with ease. Washing becomes quicker, drying is safer, and the gloss under direct sunlight turns heads, every time.

It’s a win-win. Nimesh got a professional ceramic coating for a fraction of the dealership’s quote, applied properly at his doorstep. And the same detailer who applied the coating now washes his car every 2 weeks, no guesswork, no shortcuts, just proper car care.

Whether you’re driving an Aston Martin or any other car, the principle stays the same: protect it before the damage sets in. That showroom shine doesn’t have to fade, with the right start, it becomes your new standard.
