New Car Protection in Cairns
You just spent thousands on a brand-new car. The single smartest thing you can do right now is protect it before Cairns' tropical climate starts working against it. We offer protection packages designed specifically for new vehicles.
Your New Car's Paint Is Perfect.
Keep It That Way.
A brand-new car is in the best paint condition it will ever be. No swirl marks, no scratches, no oxidation. This is the ideal time to apply protection — before Cairns' UV, salt air, and tropical conditions start degrading your finish.
Every week you wait, your new car is exposed to UV that starts breaking down the clear coat, salt air that settles on the paint, and contaminants that begin bonding to the surface. The sooner you protect it, the longer it stays looking factory-fresh.
Our new car protection packages are designed to be applied within the first few weeks of ownership. No paint correction needed (your paint is already perfect), which means the process is faster and more affordable than protecting an older vehicle.
Cairns' Climate Starts Damaging
New Paint Immediately
The factory warranty doesn't cover environmental damage. In Cairns, that damage starts on day one.
UV Starts Working Immediately
From the moment your car is parked outside the dealership, Cairns' extreme UV begins breaking down the clear coat. Within 6-12 months, unprotected paint in the tropics starts showing signs of UV damage. Ceramic coating applied early blocks this from the start.
Salt Air Doesn't Wait
Coastal salt air settles on your new car's paint daily. Even cars garaged at night accumulate salt during the day. Early protection creates a barrier that prevents salt from bonding to and degrading your paint.
Dealer Protection Is Often Inadequate
Many dealers offer paint protection packages, but they're often overpriced for what you get — typically a basic spray sealant that lasts months, not years. A professional ceramic coating provides significantly better, longer-lasting protection at a comparable or lower price.
Inspection & Wash
We inspect the new paint for any dealer-inflicted damage (surprisingly common) and perform a thorough hand wash and decontamination to remove any transport film, dealer wax, or industrial fallout.
Paint Decontamination
Clay bar treatment to remove any bonded contaminants from transport and dealer storage. Even new cars pick up industrial fallout, rail dust, and transport film residue.
Light Paint Enhancement
A single-stage light polish to remove any minor dealer wash marks and ensure the paint is absolutely flawless before coating. New cars often have light swirl marks from dealer prep.
Ceramic Coating Application
Professional ceramic coating applied panel by panel. For new cars, we recommend multi-layer coating for maximum protection from day one.
Interior Protection
Leather or fabric seats treated with protective coating. Dashboard and plastics treated with UV protectant. These treatments protect your interior from tropical UV and humidity damage.
New Car Protection Pricing in Cairns
New car protection is more affordable than protecting older vehicles because no paint correction is needed. Here's a guide:
Essential Protection
From around $400. Single-layer ceramic coating on exterior, basic interior protection. Ideal for budget-conscious owners who want solid protection from day one.
Premium Protection
From around $700-$1,000. Multi-layer ceramic coating, interior leather/fabric protection, glass coating, and wheel coating. Our most popular new car package.
Ultimate Protection
From $1,200+. Premium ceramic coating, PPF on high-impact areas (bonnet, bumper, mirrors), full interior protection, and glass coating. Maximum protection from day one.
New car protection costs less than correcting and protecting a damaged car later.
The sooner you protect, the better the result and the lower the cost.

Straight answers about new car protection in Cairns — no jargon.
As soon as possible after delivery — ideally within the first 1-2 weeks. Every day your new car sits unprotected in Cairns' UV and salt air, the paint is being exposed to damage. The sooner you protect it, the better.
In most cases, dealer paint protection is overpriced for what you get. Dealers typically apply a basic spray sealant and charge $1,000-$2,000+ for it. A professional ceramic coating from a detailer provides far superior protection at a comparable or lower price. We recommend declining dealer protection and investing in proper ceramic coating instead.
Usually not — or only minimal correction. New paint is in its best condition, so we can skip the heavy correction stages needed on older vehicles. We may do a light enhancement polish to remove any minor dealer wash marks, but that's typically all that's needed.
Packages start from around $400 for basic protection and range up to $1,200+ for the ultimate package with PPF. Because new cars don't need paint correction, new car protection is more affordable than protecting an older vehicle.
We apply protective coatings to leather or fabric seats, treat dashboard and plastics with UV protectant, and apply hydrophobic coating to glass. These products protect against Cairns' UV, humidity, and the general wear that starts from day one.
No. Ceramic coating is an external protective layer applied to the clear coat surface. It doesn't modify the vehicle in any way and will not affect your manufacturer warranty. It actually helps preserve the paint condition that your warranty expects you to maintain.
