So why do you need to perform this type of detail on a new vehicle?
"Optimize your new car's protection with a detail that starts right off the dealer lot. Don't wait for years of damaging UV exposure and swirl marks from improper washing to take a toll on your vehicle. Hagen Surface Protection in Santa Cruz, CA, is your top choice for a new car protection detail that safeguards both interior and exterior against harsh weather, minimizing surface defects.
My goal is to address potential issues early on, providing a protective shield before damage accumulates. Waiting until defects from neglect become severe means losing some of your clear coat during the compound and polishing process. My approach involves an initial polish to reveal the paint's true clarity and gloss, followed by the application of a sacrificial barrier. This barrier absorbs the abuse that would otherwise impact your paint directly, ensuring long-lasting protection for your vehicle.
Choose Hagen Surface Protection for the best-in-class service to keep your new car looking pristine. Invest in my expertise to preserve your vehicle's appearance and protect it from the elements in Santa Cruz and beyond."

TAKE your ride TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
"Elevate your new car protection detail with a focus on meticulous preparation. While many can apply coatings, it's the professional approach to prep that truly sets one detail company apart from another. Understanding the process and its components is crucial when selecting a detailer.
Experience top-tier service with my professional-grade ceramic coating, creating an exceptional base layer of protection. This results in a thick, hardened sacrificial barrier atop your clear coat, offering ease of maintenance, incredible gloss, and long-term superior UV protection. The hydrophobic surface ensures the vehicle remains consistently glossy, providing that coveted fresh, deep wet look.
My comprehensive approach extends to coating wheel faces, preventing corrosive brake dust from bonding. I also apply a protective coating to the windshield, promoting cleaner glass for an extended period. This not only reduces the need for windshield wipers but also enhances wet weather visibility. Completing the package, the vehicle's interior receives a ceramic coating on plastics, leather, vinyl, upholstery, and carpets. This creates a surface with increased stain resistance and reduced wear and tear.
Choose my meticulous new car protection detail for a superior level of care that goes beyond the surface. Trust me to enhance your vehicle's aesthetics, longevity, and overall performance in Santa Cruz and beyond."


CERAMIC COATING
CARE TIPS
Maintenance is key!
REGULAR WASH ROUTINE
A gentle hand wash at least once a month with a Ph neutral car soap. Apply a drying aid to the wet panel and dry with a microfiber dying towel, working section by section. If your in a rush, and we all are at time, it's ok to use a Touch-less Automatic Car Wash, avoid the brushes!
SPRAY SEALANT PROTECTION
Yes, protection for the protection. The use of a spray sealant or booster will greatly improve the durability of the coating by absorbing the daily grime that collects on your vehicle that might clog up the ceramic layer underneath.
VISIT YOUR DETAILER EVERY 6-12 MONTHS
Washing your is like brushing your teeth. It's a simple task performed every day, yet every 6 months we go to the dentist for professional help. Well, a professional detailer is the car dentist. We have the training, knowledge and specialized products to perform a "Deep Clean" of your vehicle.
