New Again Workshop Videos

New Audi TT cabriolet -- two chips touched in, swirl marks polished out from the dealership valet. SiRamik Lustrous GS Graphene Coating. Convertible roof two-year coating applied.

Lexus NX300h end-of-lease inspection. The recharge threshold explained. Repair-and-repaint charges for scratches vs the cost of polishing. Inspection record is evidence if disputed charges arrive.

Mini Cabriolet with a worn-through hole in the hood fabric. Patched and colour-matched, then 2-year waterproof coating darkens the whole hood so the repair is less visible. Drain flush, Krytox rubbers, exterior wax.

A VW Golf with wet footwells and water in the boot. Door membranes perished, rear air vents leaking, aftermarket sound system holes sealed. Carpets dried. Matrix Black 8-year ceramic coating applied after smart repair and machine polish.

Porsche Boxter return visit: Matrix Recharge top-up, cabriolet roof clean and reproof (parks under a tree), and headlight polishing. Three services in one visit.

Mercedes SLK water leak detection. Video shows the diagnosis report sent to the customer, then the car after repair. Most leaks are found with coloured water before specialist equipment is needed.

Fiat 500 convertible with a very dirty light-coloured hood -- came up like new. Customer chose 6-month coating rather than 2-year; still good result for a light-coloured roof heading into winter.

An Audi A4 cabriolet arrives for a roof clean and two-year nano protection -- complete with a layer of cat hair. Connor cleans the moss and ground-in grime, applies the coating with a brush rather than a spray, and explains why a domestic pressure washer will destroy a soft-top.

A roundup: Nissan Leaf for Matrix Black, an unusual diesel spill in an electric car, Range Rover with Fireball Super Hydrophobic, and Audi A6 with Lustrous GS Graphene. Four different jobs side by side.

Audi A6 for Lustrous GS Graphene coating. More preparation work than expected: iron fallout removed, previous bad polish stripped out with paintwork correction. Any coating seals in what is underneath -- the prep matters.

Diesel spilled from a jerry can in the boot of an Audi e-tron. Foam and carpet replaced; thermo fog with Kentucky Blue Grass used to eliminate the odour after UVA surface decontamination.

New Nissan Leaf with Matrix Black 8-year ceramic coating. A few scratches polished out first. Gary notes cars always look even better the morning after the coating cures overnight.

Range Rover with paintwork correction, four-stage polish, and Fireball Super Hydrophobic polymer coating. Anti-static alloy coating included to stop brake dust bonding.

Coffee (with milk) spilled in a Mercedes A200. Waterproof carpet membrane prevented it reaching the underlay. Fat-breaking products, antibacterial treatment, extraction. The smell is bacteria -- treat the bacteria, not just the surface.

BMW X5 rear bumper resprayed at Kraftwork first, then paintwork correction, four-stage polish, and Matrix Black 8-year ceramic. Gary recommends garanging overnight to cure. Stayed when it rained.

Mazda MX5 cabriolet roof clean, dried, then two-year waterproof coating. Exterior detail and wax added on special offer.

VW Golf R graphene coating. Previous poor polishing left haziness and swirl marks on every panel; lacquer peel and overspray on front bumper. Full clay bar and multi-stage buff before graphene coating applied. Result: shiny enough to film.

Six-stage headlight restoration on a Chrysler Crossfire with heavily oxidised lenses -- described as among the worst the workshop had seen. The cloudy plastic was sanded back and polished through six stages until the top of the light, the most degraded area, was fully clear again.

Volvo S90 end-of-lease inspection (independent, for the customer). Written report, photos, video, and selective repair recommendations. Fixing everything is the most expensive mistake.

Mercedes E200 soft-top: hood machine-cleaned, two-year waterproof coating applied, rubbers Krytox-treated and drains cleared. Before: green and grubby. After: looking exactly as it should.
