Why a new car needs correction
A new car is not a perfect car.
Brand-new paint can collect calcium buildup, road tar and other surface contaminants during transportation or while sitting. We remove that buildup and refine visible marks before applying protection.
Calcium buildup and topical contaminants→
Swirl marks from the dealer prep wash→
Industrial fallout from weeks on the lot→
Adhesive residue from shipping film and badges→
This is the argument for doing it now rather than at the first service. Correction on a two-week-old car is light work. Correction on a two-year-old car that has been through a tunnel wash every fortnight is a different job at a different price.
What you are actually buying.Paint correction refines the finish. Ceramic coating adds protection and makes routine care easier.

The process
How we prepare and protect your car.
Clean the surface, refine the finish, then apply the coating.
STEP 01 / FINISH INSPECTION
Check the finish.
Plan the preparation.
We check the finish for surface buildup, water spots and visible marks so preparation addresses the condition of your brand-new car.

New car interior protection
Protect the interior, too.
Leather, Alcantara and cloth all take stains far more readily than owners expect, and the first coffee is always a surprise. Applied to factory-clean surfaces, Gtechniq’s interior line is doing prevention rather than rescue — which is both cheaper and considerably more effective than treating a seat that has already absorbed something.

Straight answers
New car protection questions before you book.
How much does it cost to ceramic coat a new car in Colorado Springs?
Our fixed coating package prices are $899 for the 3-Year Gtechniq EXO v5 package, $1,099 for the 5-Year Crystal Serum Light package, and $1,599 for the 9-Year Crystal Serum Ultra package. Paint correction is included in all three. Ultra also includes C5 Wheel Armour and G1 ClearVision Smart Glass.
My car is brand new. Does it really need paint correction?
Usually yes, and usually only a little. A new car arrives by rail and by truck, sits on a lot, and then gets a dealer prep wash before handover — and that prep wash is where most new-car swirls actually come from. Under direct light you will see them. It is light work compared to a neglected car, and since correction is already included in every coating tier, it costs you nothing extra to have it done properly before the coating goes on.
Should I have it coated before or after the dealership washes it?
Before, if you can manage it. Every automatic wash and every dealer prep wash puts fine marring into soft factory clear, and each one adds a little more correction work later. If you have already had it washed, nothing is lost — correction is included and we take it back out. But the cleanest version of this job is the car coming more or less straight from delivery.
What is the difference between the 3-Year, 5-Year and 9-Year coatings?
The coating system itself. The 3-Year uses Gtechniq EXO v5, the 5-Year uses Crystal Serum Light, and the 9-Year uses Crystal Serum Ultra — which is only sold to accredited installers and cannot be bought off a shelf. The Ultra tier is also a bundle: C5 Wheel Armour is included, along with G1 ClearVision Smart Glass. All three include full correction on the whole car.
Can you coat the wheels and the glass as well?
Yes. Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour is a dedicated wheel and rim coating — it is included with the 9-Year Ultra package, and available as a $300 standalone add-on on the 3-Year or 5-Year. G1 ClearVision Smart Glass is included with the Ultra tier as well. Tell us your wheel count and finish when you book, because a multi-piece or painted wheel is a different amount of work to a standard alloy.
Does a ceramic coating still need maintenance?
Professional ceramic coating maintenance is recommended every 3–6 months. Continue coating-safe washing between visits; the exact interval depends on exposure and coating condition.
How long does the car need to stay with you?
Coating is a multi-day service. The correction takes as long as the paint takes, and then the coating has to cure undisturbed rather than going straight back out into Colorado weather. We will give you the real window when we quote it, and valet pickup and return is available if dropping it off is awkward.
What about protecting the interior on a new car?
This is the easiest version of interior protection there is, because nothing has stained yet. Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric on cloth and Alcantara, L1v2 Leather Guard on leather, and C6 Matte Dash on trim — all applied to surfaces that are still factory-clean. It is quoted after we see the materials rather than sold at a flat rate, because a full-leather interior and a cloth one are not the same job.
