Brand New Porsche GT3 Needed Some TLC!

Ever wonder why you see so many new cars at detail shops? Sure, they may be getting window tint, clear bra (paint protection film) or a Ceramic Coating, but more times than not, they actually need paint correction! Yes, paint correction when the car only has 30 miles on it!

What causes this?

Many times, vehicles come from the factory with paint imperfections; on Porsches we mainly see what are called ‘pigtails’ or sandmarks from after the car was painted and sanded. The marks left in the paint are from improper machine buffing techniques which did not remove them effectively.

Other flaws like swirl or spider web scratches are often times caused by the way the car is handled from the factory - to the dealership - to the owner. The vehicle may arrive to the dealership, only to be stripped of its plastic and ‘detailed’, which often leads to swirls/scratches being instilled in the finish due to their improper techniques.

After receiving our stage 2 paint correction, the gentian blue finish on this GT3 was absolutely GLOWING!

2018 Porsche 911 Exclusive Edition: Full Body Suntek Ultra Paint Protection Film (Clear Bra)

The Porsche Turbo S 911 Exclusive Edition is immediately noticed from afar with its dominant black stripes, however upon closer inspection, you notice it is real carbon fiber weave shown through the Golden Yellow paint. There is carbon fiber accents noted throughout the vehicle, from the side mirrors, air ducts on the rear, rear spoiler, to the subtly golden woven carbon fiber on the interior; Porsche hasn’t left a detail untouched on this one.

Boasting the 3.8L Flat-Six, the Exclusive puts down a healthy 607HP with 553 lb-ft of torque. With a 0-60 in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 205MPH, it all feels so linear in Porsche’s 7 speed PDK Transmission.

THE DETAILS

The vehicle was brought in from factory and gone over with our client meticulously. We decided to wrap the entire car in Suntek’s Ultra paint protection film (PPF), as this is the best barrier to protect a vehicle’s paint from the elements of our environment (stone chips, sap, tar, bugs, road paint, etc).

The car was first washed, decontaminated with an environmental fallout remover, claybarred, and inspected for imperfections.

Upon completion, we prepped the car for wrap. Many clients who inquire about our PPF services are educated as to how each pattern is custom fitted to ensure all edges are tucked and rolled where possible, leaving a virtually seamless installation.

Finally, we did a post-wash to rid the surface of any install solution, and prepped for application of Ceramic Pro.

With our 5 year package, we coat the film in two different products, 1 layer of each. The first, providing superior and added UV protection to the film, and the second providing an ultra slick, buttery smooth hydrophobic layer to ensure optimal hydrophobicity, gloss, and ease of cleaning. Washing a vehicle was never this easy!
