Protect Your Investment
Protect your investment from day one. Professional ceramic coating for new vehicles, applied by a detailing specialist with 7+ years of experience. Better quality, better value, and better results than dealership paint protection.
Why It Matters
New car paint is not as tough as you might think. The clear coat takes months to fully harden after leaving the factory, making it especially vulnerable to environmental damage. Without protection, Queensland's UV, bird droppings, tree sap, and road contaminants start degrading the finish from day one.
Queensland sun is relentless. UV rays break down clear coat and cause oxidation, fading, and chalking within months of leaving the dealership.
Acidic contaminants etch into fresh clear coat quickly. New paint is softer for the first few months, making it more vulnerable to permanent damage.
Tar, brake dust, industrial fallout, and road grime bond to unprotected paint and cause staining and micro-marring from everyday driving.
Automatic car washes and poor washing technique introduce swirl marks and fine scratches from day one. These become visible within weeks on unprotected paint.
Know the Difference
Dealerships often mark up paint protection significantly and have it applied by non-specialist staff. JRC Detailing offers the same or better quality at a better price, applied by a professional detailer who specialises in paint protection.

How It Works
A proven process specifically designed for new vehicles.
Even new cars can have paint defects from transport, dealer handling, or pre-delivery cleaning. Jesse inspects the paintwork under controlled lighting to identify any issues.
The vehicle is thoroughly washed and decontaminated to remove any transport film, dealer-applied compounds, and environmental contaminants. Clay bar treatment ensures the surface is perfectly clean.
A light machine polish removes any fine scratches or swirls from dealer handling or transport. The paint is brought to its best possible condition before coating.
Professional-grade ceramic coating is applied panel by panel. Each layer is levelled carefully and allowed to flash before the next stage. The result is a deep, wet-look finish with extreme hydrophobic properties.
The coating cures under controlled conditions. Jesse provides full aftercare instructions so you know exactly how to maintain the protection and maximise its lifespan.
Dealership Trusted
JRC Detailing is trusted by major dealerships to prepare and protect new vehicles. The same standard of care is applied to every private client vehicle.
Common Questions
Yes. New car paint is actually more vulnerable in the first few months because the clear coat has not fully hardened. Applying ceramic coating early protects against UV, bird droppings, tree sap, and road contaminants before any damage occurs. It is far easier and more cost-effective to protect new paint than to correct damaged paint later.
In most cases, aftermarket ceramic coating applied by a professional detailer is superior. Dealership paint protection is often applied by non-specialist staff using entry-level products, with significant mark-ups. JRC Detailing uses professional-grade coatings, includes full surface preparation, and applies the coating in controlled conditions for the best possible bond and longevity.
As soon as possible. Ideally within the first week of ownership, before the paint is exposed to environmental damage. Some customers arrange protection before even collecting their vehicle from the dealership. Contact Jesse to schedule your new car protection.
