Stone chips on your car sit right in your eyeline, and once you've seen them you can't unsee them. And with the condition on Hawke's Bay roads, stone chips are inevitable.

Claire brought her near new car into Final Touch Hawke's Bay to have that exact issue fixed. Here's what Claire had to say:

"Highly recommend Final Touch Napier. Paint chips on my new car disappeared and looks flawless again. Thanks heaps."

Thank you, Claire.

Left alone, those chips let moisture into the clear coat, which is where the real cost starts. A SmartChip repair sorts them while they're still cheap to fix.

If your paint could use the same attention, give us a call today. 🚗

Most dealerships offer ceramic coating at the point of sale. Here's why that's rarely the best place to have it done.

A ceramic coating is only as good as the paint underneath it. Seal a coating over swirl marks, dealer wash scratches, and bonded contaminants and you've locked those flaws in for years. Coating is the last step, not the first.

At Final Touch, paint correction is the job. We decontaminate the surface, then run through a thorough machine polish until the paint looks and feels like glass. Only then does the coating go on. A dealer's valet bay isn't set up for that level of prep, and it usually isn't priced for it either.

There's the value side too. A coating bundled into your finance package gets rolled into the loan and paid off with interest over the term of the vehicle. Paid direct, the same or better work costs you what it costs, and you deal with the people who actually applied it.

And it's what we do all day. New cars, family car, EVs, commercial utes, sports cars, paint chip repair with our own SmartChip system. Detailing and paint protection is our whole trade, not an add-on ticked at the sales desk.

Paint prepped thoroughly, corrected professionally and coated flawlessly. Coat over the flaws and you've sealed them in. ✓

Look at the centre of a stone chip under bright light. If the exposed metal has shifted from silver-grey to a warm orange or brown tint, oxidisation has already started and rust is setting in. That colour change is the point where a cosmetic chip becomes a structural one.

In our coastal humidity here in the Bay, exposed metal can start to rust within days, which is why prompt repair matters. Our SmartChip paint repair seals that bare metal back up before rust takes hold, restoring the finish at a fraction of the cost of panel work down the track. ✅

Fresh factory paint is the best surface a ceramic coating will ever go onto. The moment you drive off the lot, the clock starts.

Here's the part most buyers don't hear: dealership ceramic packages skip most of the prep. Our process starts with full surface decontamination, then a thorough machine polish to achieve a glass-like finish, then the professional grade coating goes on. Skip the prep and you're sealing in swirls and contaminants instead of locking in that showroom look.

Most customers find our ceramic coating costs less than the dealership quote, and the finish is far superior. Same protection, done by specialists who do this every day.

One good decision now protects years of paintwork.

That ceramic coating the dealership adds to your new car quote is often marked up hard, and applied fast.

When negotiating the deal for your new car, a coating gets tacked on for more than $1,200, then rushed onto paint that hasn't been properly decontaminated or corrected first. Skip those steps and you're sealing swirls and contaminants under the coating instead of protecting clean paint.

We do it the other way round. Surface decontamination, then a thorough machine polish so the paint looks and feels like glass, then the coating goes on. That's what makes it last, and it's usually less than what the dealer quotes.

You don't have to sign for the coating on the spot. Bring your new ride to us and get the same protection done properly.

That showroom-fresh look isn't gone for good. It's usually sitting under a few years of stone chips, swirl marks, and dulled clear coat.

A proper cut and polish clears the surface scratches and oxidation back to a deep, glass-like gloss, and SmartChip® fills the stone chips before they rust through into a bigger repair down the track. Paint that's been corrected and looked after holds its value better when it comes time to sell.

If your ute or car could use that attention, we're here when you're ready. 🚗

"How long does this actually take?" We get that question most weeks. And once the paint chip repair is done, the reply is almost always the same: "I can't believe I waited this long."

One of our regulars summed it up perfectly about her Suzuki Swift stone chip touch up: "well worth the price, only regret was not getting it done sooner".

Those little chips can sit there for months, quietly bugging you. Then about an hour later with our SmartChip system, they're no longer visible to your eye and the car looks good again.

So whatever chip you've been putting off, it's probably a quicker fix than you think. 😎

We recently had the privilege of working on this very special 1987 BMW M535i. What a car! A rare machine these days and one that is clearly loved by its owner.

We carried out a full exterior detail and polish, an engine bay detail as well as cleaning and polishing the door jambs and boot jamb. Thank you for choosing Final Touch Hawke's Bay to care for your car.
