I'm getting my first brand new car in February, a Seat Leon ST Cupra 300 4Drive DSG in mystery blue, and I'm looking at getting it detailed as soon as I get it to keep it looking good with minimum effort on my part over the 2yr lease.

Any recommendations for detailers in the Newcastle area, and what to have done to it? Google suggests that some kind of ceramic treatment would work best over the longer term.

As it's never going to be my car, I don't want to spend silly money, but happy to spend a couple of hundred quid to make my life easier in the long run. :p

As I'm too lazy to do it myself, a quick Google brings up a local company who'll even come to you to do the work, was going to get something like this done for £89 (can't post a link yet, mobile car spa in Newcastle) :-

If you're looking for long term protection ceramic is a good choice.
If it were me I'd be taking it to a shop where any paint imperfections can be corrected before any sort of protection is applied.

Have a look at professional valeters and detailers website for what companies they recommend in your area.

I would recommend Checking Google and it's really important to work with approved and certified detailers since the standard is different.
I also found going to a close one and asking a few questions can give you a good idea of what is what.
I have worked with a mobile valeting provider in London and spend some time with the manager he explained that it depends on the area and standarts.
