Aftercare · Rugeley, Staffordshire
Protection applied.
Support continues.
Ceramic coating and PPF health checks, maintenance advice and support after repairs. Practical care for the protection on your car.
Your first check
Back after three washes.
We like to see your vehicle after its first three washes to check your coatings or PPF and answer any questions about looking after the finish.
Check performance
Review coating behaviour and discuss anything you have noticed since collection.
Inspect the film
Assess PPF fitment and condition, including any areas that may need further attention.
Build your routine
Discuss washing, drying and maintenance products suited to your installed protection.
Coatings and paint protection film
What we look at.
Tell us which treatments you had and any concerns before your visit. We’ll focus the inspection on the protection installed and the areas you want checked.
Ceramic coatings
Wet testing and a review of coating performance. Reduced water beading can have several causes, so an inspection helps identify the appropriate next step.
Paint protection film
A condition and fitment assessment, including visible edges and areas you’re concerned about. We’ll explain whether any adjustment or further work is appropriate.
Aftercare and paperwork
Guidance on maintenance products and washing technique, plus help with relevant warranty paperwork and requirements.
Checks and additional work are different. If cleaning, remedial work or replacement protection is recommended, we’ll discuss the scope and any charges before proceeding.
Reinstallation and repair support
Had a repair?
Restore your protection.
If a panel has been repaired, repainted or replaced, contact us to discuss coating or PPF reinstallation. Tell us which areas were affected and what work was carried out.
Before reinstallation
The right timing matters.
After paintwork repairs, we’ll discuss the surface condition and any curing guidance from your bodyshop or paint manufacturer before agreeing when protection can be reapplied.
Share the repair details
Include the affected panels, repair date and whether the work involved repainting or replacing parts.
Explain what was fitted
Tell us whether the area had ceramic coating, PPF or both. Add the original treatment date if known.
Agree the next step
We’ll review your information, explain any assessment needed and confirm a quotation for agreed additional work.
Arrange your visit
A straightforward health check.
Complete the form
Share your contact and vehicle details, original treatment and number of washes since application.
Tell us your concerns
Describe any areas to inspect, maintenance questions or repair work requiring reinstallation.
Request a date
Choose your preferred date. We’ll contact you to confirm availability; submitting the form does not secure an appointment.
Arrive ready
Bring your vehicle clean and ready for inspection, together with details of the products you normally use.
Please allow 2–4 weeks’ lead time. Availability will be confirmed when we respond. If you notice a concern before your third wash, contact us rather than waiting for the routine check.
Good to know
Your aftercare questions.
When should I arrange my first health check?
Contact us around the first three washes after your treatment. Allow time for appointment availability. If you have a concern sooner, get in touch before the routine check.
Does the vehicle need to be clean?
Yes. Please bring your vehicle clean and ready for inspection. Tell us in advance if you have concerns about washing an affected area.
Does less beading mean the coating has failed?
Not necessarily. Contamination, product residues and surface condition can influence water behaviour. An inspection helps us assess what is happening before recommending maintenance or further treatment.
Can you help after a bodyshop repair?
Yes. Tell us which panels were repaired and whether they had coating or PPF. We’ll discuss preparation, suitable timing and a quote for any agreed reinstallation.
Is my preferred date guaranteed?
No. It is a request. We’ll confirm availability or suggest another appointment before the visit is booked.
Is replacement film or coating included in the check?
A health check does not automatically include replacement protection or repair work. We’ll discuss any recommended additional work, pricing and applicable warranty terms before proceeding.
What information should I include?
Your vehicle, original treatment date, protection fitted, approximate mileage and washes since treatment, maintenance products and any concerns or repair details.
