Posh Wash
New Car Protection in Melbourne
Protect your new car from day one. We fix the damage dealers cause, apply professional-grade protection, and make sure your paint stays perfect — not just for now, but for years.
Don't Trust the Dealer
With Your Paint
Here's something most people don't know: your brand-new car probably already has paint damage. Dealers wash cars with dirty equipment, park them outdoors for weeks, and their "paint protection" packages are often overpriced spray-on products applied by untrained staff.
New car protection done properly starts with inspecting and correcting any dealer-inflicted damage, then applying genuine professional-grade protection that will last for years — not the cheap sealant the dealer charged you $1,500 for.
What we do:
- Paint inspection — we inspect your new car's paint under specialist lighting to identify any swirl marks, scratches, or damage from dealer handling.
- Paint correction — we remove any damage found during inspection. Most new cars need at least a light polish to get the paint truly perfect.
- Ceramic coating — professional-grade ceramic coating applied to lock in perfect paint from day one. Far superior to dealer paint protection.
- Interior protection — leather and fabric protection to guard against stains, UV damage, and wear from day one.
- Glass coating — hydrophobic coating on all glass for improved visibility in rain.
Your new car's paint is at its best right now. Protect it properly from day one, and it stays that way for years.
Melbourne Starts Attacking
Your Paint Immediately
From the moment you drive off the lot, Melbourne's environment starts working on your car's unprotected paint.
UV Damage Starts Day One
Melbourne's UV begins degrading unprotected clear coat from the first day of sun exposure. Ceramic coating applied early creates a barrier that prevents UV from reaching your paint, preserving the colour and gloss for years longer than unprotected paint.
Contamination Builds Fast
Road grime, brake dust, tree sap, and bird droppings start landing on your car immediately. On unprotected paint, these contaminants bond to the surface and begin causing damage within days. Protection makes them easy to wash off before they cause harm.
Dealer Damage Is Real
Most new cars arrive from the dealer with swirl marks from their wash bay, fine scratches from transport covers, and sometimes even buffer burns from inexperienced staff. Correcting this damage and protecting the paint properly is the first thing you should do with a new car.
New Car Protection Pricing in Melbourne
New car protection pricing depends on the vehicle size and the level of protection you choose:

Straight answers about new car protection in Melbourne — no jargon.
Generally, no. Dealer paint protection packages are typically overpriced spray-on sealants applied by untrained staff. They charge $1,000 to $2,000+ for products that cost a fraction of that. Professional ceramic coating from a detailer offers far superior protection at a comparable or lower price.
In our experience, most new cars arrive from the dealer with at least some swirl marks or fine scratches from their wash process and handling. A light paint correction before coating ensures you're protecting perfect paint, not sealing in dealer damage.
As soon as possible after taking delivery. The sooner you protect the paint, the less environmental damage it accumulates. Ideally within the first week or two of ownership. Some customers book us before they even pick up the car.
Yes — we can detail your new car at the dealership before you drive it home, or at your home after delivery. Either way, we're mobile and bring everything we need.
