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 realize 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 imperfections, they're locked in. Proper preparation before protection makes all the difference. For deeper insight into real-world performance and longevity expectations, see our guide on how long ceramic coating lasts in real UK conditions.
Premium Protect – Designed for New Cars
At TidyRide in Newton Abbot, we offer Premium Protect, which is carried out in a controlled studio environment. This service 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 is impressive:
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 it protects the entire exterior finish.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward:
Small – £495

Final confirmation is based on vehicle size and inspection. There are no hidden extras.
Booking for 26 & 76 Plates
We limit the number of new registrations we take during March and September. This ensures each vehicle receives the time it deserves. If you're collecting your new car in Newton Abbot or surrounding areas, booking in advance is recommended. Protect it properly from day one.
