A New Registration Deserves More Than a Quick Add-On

There’s nothing quite like collecting a brand-new car.

Fresh registration. Untouched interior. Perfect first drive home.

With the arrival of the 26 and 76 plates in 2026, many drivers across Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton and South Devon will be experiencing that moment.

But what most people don’t realise is this:

New cars rarely arrive in perfect condition.

Why Preparation Matters — Even on a Brand-New Vehicle


During transport, storage and pre-delivery washing, vehicles can develop:

  • Light swirl marks

  • Fine scratches

  • Embedded contamination

  • Water spotting

Once protection is applied over these, they’re locked in.

Proper preparation before protection makes all the difference.

Premium Protect – Designed for New Cars

At TidyRide in Newton Abbot, Premium Protect is carried out in a controlled studio environment and focuses on proper preparation before protection is applied.

Each vehicle receives:

✔ Safe wash and chemical decontamination

✔ Paint inspection under professional lighting

✔ Refinement where required

✔ Professional-grade long-term protection


The result:


• Sharper gloss

• Easier maintenance

• Greater resistance to contamination

• Long-term finish preservation


For most vehicles, this represents less than 1% of the cost of a new car — yet protects the entire exterior finish.
