New car ceramic coating in Durban, done before you collect
Auto Sleek Detailing coats your new car at the dealership the day before you collect it. If you are picking the car up on Wednesday, we coat it on Tuesday, so you drive away with 2 years of protection already on the paint and wheels and never have to give the car back for a separate appointment. Prices start at R6,000 for a standard car and are about R8,000 for a larger car.

Who it is for
The best time to protect paint is before the first wash
A new car is at its best on handover day. From then on, every automatic wash, roadside wash and dusty drive adds fine marks to the clear coat. Coating the car before you collect it means the protection goes on paint that has not yet been through that routine, and you skip the inconvenience of dropping the car off again in its first week.
You would rather not hand back a new car days after collecting it
You want a deep, easy-to-clean gloss from the first drive home
You plan to keep the car looking new for resale or trade-in
You want someone to check the paint under good light before it is sealed

Care at every stage
The work is planned around your collection date. You tell us when and where you are collecting the car, and we arrange the rest with the dealership so the car is coated the day before.

Message us on WhatsApp as soon as the dealership confirms your delivery date, with the car model, the dealership and the collection date.

We arrange it with the dealership
We liaise with the dealership to book a time and confirm access to the car, water and power the day before you collect.
- 03
Prepare and inspect
The car is washed, decontaminated and checked under good light. Light polishing is done if needed, and anything heavier is quoted before we continue.

The coating is applied by hand to the paint and wheels, and you collect your car the next day already protected.

Why coat a new car before collection
Coating after collection works, but it means booking a day and handing the car over again while it is still new to you. Doing it at the dealership the day before handover removes that step. You collect the car once, and it is already protected for daily use from the first drive home.
- You collect the car once, already coated.
- The coating goes onto paint before regular washing starts.
- No separate appointment in the car's first weeks.
Good to know
Looking after a new coated car
Wash the car as normal with a pH-neutral shampoo and dry it with clean microfibre cloths. Do not polish or wax the coating. Careful washing still matters, because no coating makes harsh brushes or dirty cloths harmless.
- Use a pH-neutral car shampoo for normal washing.
- Dry with clean microfibre cloths.
- Do not polish or wax the car after coating.
- Avoid harsh brush washes where you can.
