September 1st is nearly here!
If your new 75-plate is due, now is the perfect time to lock in protection before the miles start. The two most effective ways to keep that factory finish looking factory are Paint Protection Film (PPF) and a ceramic coating. Many owners choose a combination of both for maximum peace of mind and simplified maintenance.
Why protect a brand-new car?
- Stop the chips early: Scotland’s roads can be tough on fresh paint. PPF acts as a clear, tough barrier against stone chips, road rash and light scuffs.
- Make washing effortless: A ceramic coating bonds to your paint to add a slick, glossy layer that repels dirt and makes maintenance much easier.
PPF vs Ceramic: Quick Guide
- PPF → Physical film that takes the impact from stones and road debris. This is most popular on high impact areas like the front end and side sills.
- Ceramic → Liquid coating that chemically bonds to your paintwork. It provides protection against the elements as well as providing swirl resistance, boosting gloss and simplifying washing. It can even be used alongside PPF to give a cohesive finish over the car and give that bit of protection on areas that would otherwise remain exposed.
They work brilliantly together: PPF takes the hits; ceramic keeps everything slick and easy to maintain.

September marks the arrival of the new 75-plate, and for many drivers, that means a brand new car in the driveway. It’s an exciting time, and it’s also the perfect time to think about protection. Here’s why acting early makes all the difference.
Living in the UK means dealing with unpredictable weather, rainy commutes, and winter grime - all of which take a toll on your visibility behind the wheel. While most people focus on paint protection like ceramic coatings and PPF, one of the most overlooked upgrades is glass coating, and it might just be the game changer your driving experience needs.
