New Again Workshop Videos

BMW 520d with wash marks and swirl marks -- paintwork correction and multi-stage polish by James, then Matrix Blue 3-year ceramic. Alloy wheel coating stops brake dust bonding. James has the same coating on his own BMW.

Land Rover Defender Urban returns for alloy coating that was missed on the first visit (admin error). One of the first graphene-coated vehicles we monitor. Hydrophobic performance shown: water sheeting off with soap still in it.

A Saturday afternoon in the workshop. Connor decontaminating a VW California camper that came in with a water leak and mould. Hospital-grade antimicrobial treatment for a car with a child seat inside.

James lifts the carpet on multiple cars to show how much water actually gathers under the floor. Puddles in the floor pan, submerged wiring looms, saturated foam underlay that won't dry on its own -- and why BMW underlay is the worst.

Mini Cooper S full exterior detail then Fireball Super Hydrophobic polymer sealant. Exceptional shine and water repellency -- water rolls off and takes dirt with it.

An Audi with a ceramic coating returns for preventive leak work. Car still looking good after the coating. Ceramic vs wax comparison: ceramic is a permanent glass-like layer; wax evaporates within months.

The Ford Ranger had yellowed, clouded headlights -- past hazy and into MOT risk territory. Six-stage polish restored clarity and takes years off the truck.

VW Beetle convertible with a very dirty roof. No magic product -- mechanical brushes, strong detergent, multiple passes. Two-year waterproof coating with antifungal. Old ?for= link slugged.

Porsche 911 hood clean, two-year waterproof coating, and drain flush before winter storage. Headlight polishing planned for a future visit.

Six-stage headlight restoration on a Nissan with heavily degraded lenses -- barely visible bulbs before, fully clear after. The process runs from coarse wet sanding through progressively finer grades to compound and polish, finishing with a ceramic coating to slow future oxidisation.

Mini Cooper end-of-lease inspection. Trim fixed, scratches polished, wheel scuffs touched in, seats shampooed, windscreen chip repaired. Tailgate dent left as it would likely fall under threshold. Lease company charges for devaluation, not repair.

VW Passat end-of-lease inspection. Paintless dent removal on the dents, scratches polished. Advice on what to fix and what to leave to stay below the recharge threshold.

An Audi A5 cabriolet with a red hood -- patchy in the creases and soiled along the back seam -- in for a full hood clean and two-year protective coating.

Gary checks the result of Matrix Recharge on his own car -- a top-up coating over existing Matrix Black ceramic that left the paint noticeably shinier.

New Tesla S: dealer wax removed, two-stage polish, graphene coating applied. Factory process doesn't include polishing -- we make it shinier than when it left the showroom.

Land Rover Urban Defender -- black, significant swirl marks from previous washing. Four-stage polish (touchless wash, clay, buff, alcohol wipe) then graphene coating. One of our first graphene applications.

Jaguar XK hood clean and reproof. Not very dirty. Hood wear marks visible but cannot be removed -- the coating darkens the fabric and reduces contrast. Steamed-up windows confirmed a leak; drain flush and Krytox on rubbers.

Matrix Blue on a newer VW Golf (2-stage polish, alloy and fabric protection added) and Matrix Black on an older Mercedes (4-stage polish + headlight polish). Comparison of when to choose which coating.

Mini Cabriolet roof clean, 2-year nano-coating, Krytox on rubbers, drain flush. Rear rubber trim splitting -- universal on Minis of this age, easy to replace. Special offer exterior detail and wax added.

Audi A5 Cabriolet hood clean, two-year reproof, Krytox rubbers, drain flush, exterior detail. Fold-line wear marks explained; worn patches at crease points noted. Roof looking brand new on completion.
