Following an initial discussion or vehicle inspection, we will consider the condition of your vehicle, how it is used, the level of improvement you desire and the type of protection required.

Car Detailing Services Available for Newbury Customers
Paint Protection Film in Newbury
Paint Protection Film, commonly known as PPF, is a transparent self-healing film applied directly to your vehicle’s painted surfaces.
It provides physical protection against stone chips, scratches, road debris, wash marks and minor everyday damage. PPF is particularly useful on new cars, performance vehicles and cars regularly driven on motorways.
We install high quality Paint Protection Film, which offers excellent optical clarity, self-healing performance and up to a 12-year manufacturer warranty.
All PPF is installed in-house. Patterns are cut using our Graphtec FC9000 plotter, allowing us to adjust coverage and extend or wrap edges wherever practical.
Available coverage includes:
- Front bumper PPF
- Full Front PPF
- Track Pack PPF
- Full-car PPF
- Gloss, satin and matte PPF
- Colour-changing PPF
- Headlight and windscreen protection film
Full Front PPF starts from £1,500 including VAT.
Our installations also include a complimentary post-installation health check and our lifetime installation guarantee.
Ceramic Coating in Newbury
Ceramic coating creates a durable protective layer over your vehicle’s paintwork. It increases gloss, improves chemical resistance and makes the car easier to clean and maintain.
A ceramic coating can help protect against UV exposure, bird droppings, road grime and environmental contamination. It does not provide physical protection against stone chips or deeper scratches, which is where PPF is more suitable.
Depending on the package selected, ceramic coating can be applied following a light gloss enhancement, a full paint correction or the preparation of a newly delivered vehicle.
We use professional ceramic coatings from established manufacturers including Labocosmetica, Gyeon, Gtechniq, Apex, CarPro and Infinity Wax. Coating options are available with expected durability ranging from approximately two to seven years.
Paint Correction in Newbury
Paint correction uses professional machine-polishing techniques to remove or substantially reduce defects in your vehicle’s clear coat.
Common problems include:
- Swirl marks
- Wash damage
- Fine scratches
- Water-spot etching
- Oxidation
- Holograms
- Dull or hazy paint
- Poor-quality previous polishing
Our paint correction packages are selected according to the vehicle’s condition and the level of improvement required.
Single Stage Paint Correction - From £750 including VAT
Our Single Stage Correction is suited to vehicles with light to moderate swirl marks and paint defects. It typically achieves approximately 60-70% defect removal and includes a three-year ceramic coating.
Two-Stage Paint Correction - From £950 including VAT
Our most popular correction package uses separate cutting and refining stages. It is designed for vehicles with more noticeable wash damage, scratches and loss of gloss, with approximately 85% defect removal targeted where paint condition allows.
Multi-Stage Paint Correction - From £1,200 including VAT
Multi-Stage Correction is intended for heavily marked or more demanding paintwork. Multiple polishing stages are used to achieve the highest reasonable level of correction, with 98% or more defect removal possible on suitable paintwork.
Every vehicle is inspected before significant correction work begins. Paint depth, previous repairs and the safe limits of the clear coat are considered before deciding how far to proceed.

New Car Protection in Newbury
A new vehicle is not always delivered with perfect paintwork. Transport marks, light swirl marks, adhesive residue and dealership preparation defects are common, even on expensive cars.
Our New Car Protection service begins with a thorough clean, decontamination and inspection. Any necessary paint refinement is completed before ceramic coating or PPF is applied.
New car protection options include:
- Ceramic coating packages from £650 including VAT
- Full Front PPF from £1,500 including VAT
- Combined PPF and ceramic coating
- Wheel and glass coatings
- Interior protection
- Paint inspection and preparation
Combining Full Front PPF with ceramic coating protects the most vulnerable panels against physical damage while making the remaining paintwork easier to clean.
The One Day Detail
The One Day Detail is a practical option for customers who want a noticeable improvement without booking a multi-day paint correction.
The service includes a deep exterior clean, paint decontamination, light machine polishing, and a 2 year ceramic coating.
The polishing stage improves gloss and reduces light imperfections, but it is not intended to provide the same level of defect removal as our paint correction packages.
The One Day Detail starts from £499 including VAT.
Which Detailing or Protection Service Does Your Car Need?
Protection Against Stone Chips
Choose Paint Protection Film if you want physical protection against stone chips, scratches and road debris. Full Front PPF is particularly suitable for motorway-driven vehicles and performance cars.
Easier Cleaning and Greater Gloss
Choose ceramic coating if your priority is easier maintenance, improved gloss and protection against environmental contamination.
Removal of Swirl Marks and Paint Defects
Choose paint correction if the paintwork is affected by swirl marks, scratches, water spots, oxidation or poor previous polishing.
Protection for a New Vehicle
Choose New Car Protection if you want the paint inspected, prepared and protected properly before damage and contamination become established.
Maximum Paint Protection
Combine PPF and ceramic coating if you want protection against physical damage across vulnerable panels, together with easier cleaning and enhanced gloss across the rest of the vehicle.
If you are unsure, send us photographs or arrange a free inspection. We will explain what can realistically be achieved and which services are worth considering.
Why Newbury Customers Choose On Track Detailing
More Than 20 Years of Experience
Our experience covers paint correction, ceramic coating, PPF installation and specialist vehicle preparation. We work on everything from daily-driven cars to performance, prestige and collector vehicles.
PPF Installed by Our Own Team
Your PPF installation is completed in-house by the same team responsible for inspecting, preparing and finishing your vehicle.
Your vehicle is not passed to a separate third-party installer. This gives us direct control over preparation, installation quality, timescales, aftercare and future warranty support.
In-House PPF Plotting
We use a Graphtec FC9000 plotter to cut PPF patterns at our studio. Patterns can be checked and adjusted before installation, reducing the need to cut film directly against the vehicle.
Edges are extended or wrapped wherever the panel design allows, with minor trims removed for an invisible, high quality installation.
Clear Warranty Support
All PPF installations are supported by the manufacturers warranty in addition to our unique Installation Warranty.
This covers the quality of our installation for as long as you own the vehicle. Any issues we will sort for life.
We also provide a complimentary post-installation health check so the film and edges can be inspected once the installation has settled.
Fully Insured Vehicle Care
On Track Detailing carries appropriate business and motor trade insurance, including cover relating to customer vehicles while they are in our care.
Proof of insurance can be provided on request.
Personal, Owner-Led Service
We are an independent, family-run business rather than a national chain. You deal directly with the people inspecting and working on your vehicle.
We provide straightforward advice and build the package around the condition and use of your car.
