New-Car Delivery Detailing: Decontamination, Sealant & PPF Timing

Just took delivery? Congrats. Here’s the clean, no-nonsense plan to lock in gloss and protection on day one. This guide focuses on new car detailing Pune-how to safely decontaminate factory paint, when to apply sealant or ceramic, and the right window to install PPF so chips, swirls, and hard-water stains don’t get a head start.

Step 1: Safe First Wash & Decontamination

1. Pre-rinse & pre-wash foam: Loosen transport dust, adhesive residue, and dealership wipe marks before touching paint.
2. Two-bucket wash: pH-balanced shampoo, quality mitts, straight-line motions-no showroom swirls.
3. Decon check: If needed, use mild iron fallout remover and precise clay only on rough zones. Less is more on fresh paint.
4. Drying: Soft microfibers + filtered air on badges, mirrors, and trims to avoid drips and water spots.

Step 2: Paint Inspection & Micro-Polish (If Required)

Factory paint often arrives with minor transport haze. We inspect under proper lights and, if needed, do a single-step refine to improve clarity before protection. This sets the stage for clean PPF edges and better sealant/ceramic bonding.

Step 3: Choose Your Protection Path

A) Impact-Zone PPF + Sealant/Ceramic on the Rest

• What gets PPF: Front bumper, bonnet, fenders, ORVMs, A-pillars, door cups, and boot lip-high strike and touch areas.
• When: Ideally day 3–10, after the first wash and paint prep. Earlier is better to prevent wash rash and chips.
• Topper: Add ceramic on PPF after it settles (as advised) for gloss and easier cleaning.

B) Full-Body PPF

• Why: Maximum impact resistance, swirl minimization, and self-healing with premium films.
• When: Same 3–10 day window works well-fresh paint, minimal corrections, cleaner edges.
• Finish: Choose gloss for showroom pop or matte for a stealth look.

C) Ceramic/Graphene Coating (No PPF)

• Why: Hydrophobics, UV/chemical resistance, deep gloss, easier washes.
• When: Right after decon and prep; no waiting period needed.
• Care: Respect initial cure (garage parking, no harsh wash for ~5–7 days depending on product).

Step 4: Glass, Trim & Wheels

• Glass coating: Improves wet-weather visibility and minimizes hard-water etching.
• Trim dressing: UV-safe, satin-not greasy. Prevents early fading.
• Wheel sealant: Brake-dust release becomes way easier from day one.

Step 5: Interior Quick Start (Optional but Smart)

• Fabric/Leather guard: Protects from dye transfer, spills, and early wear.
• Cabin sanitization: Steam high-touch zones; set a hygiene baseline.
