Decontamination, coating or sealant, and interior protection for a brand-new car, done in your driveway in the first weeks of ownership.
The best time to protect a car is before anything has happened to it. A new car in the GTA will meet road salt within months, highway sand on the 401 within weeks, and a kid with a juice box or a wet dog whenever life decides. Auto Royale comes to your driveway and sets the paint, glass, wheels and interior up so all of that is easier to deal with later.
The surprising part for most new owners is that the car is not actually clean when it leaves the lot. It has been on a train or a transport truck, washed with whatever the dealership uses, and often polished in a hurry by whoever was free. We start by undoing that, then protect what is underneath.
Between the factory and your driveway, the car sits outdoors in rail yards and compounds where iron particles from brakes and rails settle into the clear coat. Dealership lots wash cars with brushes and towels used on dozens of vehicles, which is where the fine swirls you notice in the sun come from. The transport wrap and protective film leave adhesive residue, and lot sprinklers leave water spots.
None of this is a defect; it is the normal state of a car handled by many people before you. It does mean the paint should be decontaminated and lightly corrected before anything long-lasting goes on top.
A new-car detail is lighter than a full correction because there is little to fix. The focus is on removing what the delivery process left behind and locking the surfaces in.
Dealerships often offer a paint and fabric protection package during the signing. Before you say yes, ask three questions: what product is it, who applies it and under what conditions does the paperwork stay valid. Many packages are spray-on sealants applied on the lot in a few minutes, and the accompanying coverage can require annual reapplications at the dealer to remain in effect.
With us you know exactly what goes on the car, you can watch it happen in your driveway, and the choice between coating and sealant is based on how long you plan to keep the vehicle and how you will wash it, not on what is bundled into the financing.
The first two or three weeks are ideal, before the car has seen a drive-through wash or a winter. If you take delivery in October or November, treat protection as urgent, because the first salt of the season is the hardest thing the paint will face all year. If the car has been sitting on the lot for months, the plan is the same, with a bit more decontamination up front.
Ceramic coating takes a full day including prep and the car should stay dry for the cure period we specify, so pick a day you do not need it. A sealant-based new-car detail fits in an afternoon.
Protection only works if the washing afterwards does not undo it. Skip automatic brush washes, the main source of swirls on cars under a year old. A two-bucket hand wash every few weeks, or a maintenance plan with us, keeps a coated or sealed car looking the way it did on delivery day.
Typical time: Plan on an afternoon for a sealant-based new-car detail and a full day for ceramic coating, which includes the wash, decontamination, light polish and the coating itself.
