New Again Workshop Videos

A nearly-new Ford Focus Estate in for graphene coating from new. We show why protecting untouched paintwork early gives a coating the best possible bond.

Lexus IS300h with wash marks polished out in a two-stage machine process. The metallic depth comes back completely.

Ford Focus headlight restoration. Headlight replacement is hundreds of pounds -- polishing and resealing with ceramic is faster and far cheaper. UV coating degraded, plastic oxidised and yellowed: sanded back, polished, ceramic applied.

Jaguar i-Pace with Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic coating. Owner previously had a coating applied at a dealership on another car -- it had not worked. This time done properly.

Ford Focus with coolant (antifreeze, pink) leaked into the interior after a system failure. Garage fixed the leak; we handled the cleanup. Seats out, underlay up, foam washed, carpet shampooed, dried overnight.

BMW 1 Series water leak. Driver's rear door membrane leaking heavily; driver's front soaking underneath. Loose rear light on driver's side -- twist camera found water marks inside the box section; panel had previous bodywork history. Resealed and dried.

BMW 1 Series with paint spilled inside. Get it to us wet -- dried paint takes much longer to remove. Progress videos sent to the customer. Cost of clean-up is far less than part replacement.

Tesla with SiRamik Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. The sustainability case for coatings: extend the life of the car you have rather than replacing it. Less washing, less scratching, paint stays newer.

Ford Ranger commercial vehicle with Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic coating. The commercial case: less cleaning, longer-lasting appearance, working vehicle as company advertisement.

A 2008 VW Tiguan full of water -- front footwells, boot, both sides. A garage had already tried to fix it and failed. Four sunroof drain pipes: the front two had shrunk and were leaking through the A-pillars into the footwells; the rear two were disconnected. One just fell out when touched -- someone had been up there before. Airbag terminal sitting in water with visible corrosion.

Mazda MX5 end-of-lease inspection. Scuffed wheels -- Gary advised leaving them. Recharge price = trade repair cost; threshold likely to cover it anyway. Inspection value is knowing what not to fix as much as knowing what to fix.

A 2009 Ford Fiesta with three entry points: cracked welded boot seams, leaking rear air vents, and door membranes failing on both sides. Two previous sealant attempts by a dealer hadn't touched the real causes.

BMW 5 Series with accumulated wash marks: four-stage machine polish, then Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic coating. Alloy wheels also coated with heat-resistant anti-static ceramic to stop brake dust sticking.

A 2011 BMW 5 Series (F10) with the well-known blanking plate leak -- but the garage who "fixed" it used silicone sealer that just pulls off with a finger. The drain behind the plug was still blocked. And water was also getting in through the tailgate rubber, tracking along a foam pad all the way to the rear seats. The customer is Alan, who goes to the golf club.

Audi A1 paint spillage. Keep it wet -- wet paint is far easier to remove. Our paint spillage service starts with a three-hour initial clean, progress video, and estimate before continuing.

Ford B-Max 2013 with soaking footwells. A previous garage had cleared the sunroof drains but not dried the car. James finds a leaking door membrane, a rear air vent leaking through its centre, and a loose scuttle seal. All three fixed; car dried.

Audi A4 2007 with water on the floor pan found by a dealer during service. James hoses the scuttle area and watches water pour onto the electrical control unit in the footwell. Underlay saturated, wiring loom submerged. Scuttle sealed, dried, returned.

Mini Cooper soft-top hood clean and two-year nano-coating. Roof waterproofing worn off. Gutters cleared, Krytox on door rubbers, complimentary three-month ceramic spray on bodywork.

Peugeot 3008 GT Line two-stage machine polish then Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic. Good for anyone who trades cars every few years. Alloy wheels ceramic-coated to stop brake dust bonding.

Coffee (with milk) spilled on driver's side -- soaked through carpet into underlay. Shampooing from above had not worked. Antimicrobial fog, alcohol spray, enzyme treatment under carpet. High success rate because the source is eliminated, not masked.
