New Car Preparation
- Gently cleaning away any existing dirt
- Removing surface contaminants that can mar the paint
- Carefully polishing the body work to bring out the full colour and gloss
- Providing long life* protection of the exterior surfaces using high quality sealants
- Bringing out the full shine and colour of the paintwork with a premium hand applied carnauba wax
Most dealerships will offer you various long-life paintwork protection treatments or free valeting but:
- The products used are not necessarily the best available for your car
- The work is likely to be done by valeters who don't have the training or equipment of specialist detailers
- The treatments may be completed to tight time schedules and with insufficient preparation
- Incorrectly applied products or rushed processes can leave the car with swirl marks or scratching
With a JDs New Car Preparation:
- We can choose from a fine range of products to deliver the best results for your car
- The work will be undertaken by experienced, specialist car detailers
- We'll take our time to get everything right and leave your car looking amazing!

The Convenience
If your dealership is happy for us to do so, then we are able to undertake the work on their premises before the hand over of the car to give your vehicle a great start in life and make it truly stand out in the showroom.
In the event that we are not able to work at the dealership, we can of course make arrangements to come to your home or pretty much anywhere else you choose.
