New Car Protection Guide

The Ultimate New Car
Protection Checklist

Don't drive off the lot unprotected. Follow this checklist to ensure your new vehicle stays brand new forever.

Before You Take Delivery

Critical steps to take *before* you sign the final paperwork.

1. Inspect Paint for Defects

CRITICAL

Dealership washes often cause swirls. Check for scratches, swirl marks, or shipping damage under sunlight or bright LED.

2. Decline Dealership 'Protection Packages'

CRITICAL

Dealer-applied coatings are often low-quality sealants sold at 500% markup. Decline paint protection, fabric guard, and rust modules.

3. Request 'No Wash' Delivery

Ask the dealer NOT to wash or detail the car before pickup. Their automatic washes and dirty rags cause swirls that we'll have to polish out later.

4. Schedule PPF Installation

CRITICAL

Book your PPF installation for immediately after pickup. Every mile driven without PPF risks rock chips.

First Week Ownership

Locking in that new car look.

Apply PPF (Paint Protection Film)

Apply Ceramic Coating

Chemical resistance, UV protection, and extreme gloss.

Window Tint
