New Again Workshop Videos

Jaguar F-Pace with heavy scratch and paint correction work -- wet sanded and machine polished before graphene coating.

Volvo XC90 lease return. Rear scratch polished out with machine polish and touch-up paint -- cheaper than a respray and cheaper than accepting the recharge.

Mercedes C300 Convertible: hood clean, reproof, super-wax coating, Krytox rubbers, three-drain flush. Jet-wash zigzag damage and fold-line wear assessed before starting; chemical marks on chrome trim noted; weak area caught in time. Service history invoice given to customer.

VW Tiguan with both front footwells wet. Sunroof drain pipes had shrunk and disconnected from their grommets -- all four replaced and modified to flow more freely. Interior dried. Scuttle cleaned.

Jaguar cabriolet full restoration: dirty hood cleaned and recoated with 2-year nano-proof, drain flush, Krytox rubbers, complex studded wheels refurbished and ceramic-coated, and Allan's leather reconditioning transformed the interior from tired to immaculate.

Deep scratches too severe for polishing alone treated with wet sanding first to level the surface, then machine polished back to gloss. The result is a significant improvement without respraying.

VW Beetle soft-top clean and reproof. Arrived very dirty -- the team was not sure how well it would come up. It came up like new. Two-year waterproof coating applied.

Factory UV coating peeling off Mercedes headlights -- Gary explains why DIY kits won't cut it here, walks through the sanding and ceramic coating process, and shows the finished result.

Pre-return inspection on a 2-year Polestar 3 lease. Light scratching along the near side buffed out. Gary confirms the full EV kit is present (compressor, triangle, lead), checks locking wheel nuts (Polestar 3 doesn't have them), and advises on the tiny windscreen surface score.

A brand new Mercedes EQC 400 electric SUV. Owner asked not to wash it before arrival. Touchless degreaser wash, full machine polish by James, graphene coating + glass ceramic. Gary notes the complex alloy wheels and trim damage risk from harsh chemicals.

BMW M3 Sport graphene coating -- the same car featured in the "can you tell which is which" 1yr review. Wash marks polished off the bonnet before coating. Gary spotted the owner at a jet wash months later; the car still looked stunning.

Brand new Range Rover -- owned one week, never washed. Immaculate paintwork documented, then touchless wash, full preparation, Matrix Black 8-year ceramic coating and alloy ceramic applied.

Audi A3 cabriolet hood with heavy embedded dirt and domestic jet-wash marks. Professionally cleaned, drain flushed, Krytox on dry rubbers, 2-year nano-coating applied.

Brand-new electric Renault Megane with Matrix Black 8-year ceramic coating and interior fabric protection. Touchless degreasing wash first to remove dealer wax, DA buff, alcohol prep, then coating. Wheels not included -- customer chose interior protection instead.

Audi S8 2008 with drips from the headlining -- blocked front sunroof drains overflowing into the light fittings. Cassette cleaned, pipes flushed. Graphene coating, ceramic alloys and glass, leather treatment added.

Land Rover Discovery water leak traced to blocked sunroof pipes -- then pine needles blocked the replacements. James built a custom wider-pipe drainage system. Six-stage polish + Matrix Black ceramic coating completed the transformation.

Practical advice for managing a car with water in it while you wait for a repair slot. Hybrid/EV warning, how to keep water from spreading, ventilation tips, mould safety, and when not to drive at all.

It is tempting to just get rid of a car with a water leak. Gary explains why that instinct usually costs more than fixing it -- and what to do if you do decide to sell.

How New Again became one of very few workshops specialising in car water ingress -- from detailing roots to a 28-point diagnosis process over 30 years.

Ford Mustang convertible hood clean and 2-year reproof. Hood was in decent condition. Drain flush, Krytox on rubbers, 3-month exterior wax added on special offer.
