This 2016 Porsche Boxster Spyder was brought to Glossy to have its condition evaluated. After receiving the car, we instantly noticed that the car looked clean from a distance, but as soon as we got close was noticed a lot of built up dirt and grime around the car. We noticed that the PPF originally installed on the car was not installed very well, with none of the edges wrapped, causing dirt and grime to build up around the edges of the film, which in turn was causing the PPF to lift and mold.
When looking around further, we noticed a lot of grime built up around the seals and caked in the vents of the car. The front bumper had no PPF on it when the car arrived so there was a lot of etching, stains, and rock chips on the front bumper. Overall the car looked like it had been severely neglected by the previous owner.
After evaluating the condition of the car, we decided the best course of action was to go ahead and strip back all of the PPF, disassemble, and deep clean the entire car. After completing this, the next step in this process was to paint correct the car to remove imperfections in the paint and provide a great base for new PPF.
After completing the paint correction we applied PPF to every painted surface, using custom patterns to achieve complete coverage to make sure the car was as protected as possible. During the PPF installation process the wheels were removed from the car before deep cleaning and ceramic coating both the wheels and calipers.
Once the PPF installation was complete we applied CQuartz Skin to the PPF to make maintenance easier and to keep the car looking Glossy for years to come.
Whether buying a new or used car, it is always important to protect the condition of the car, not only to make the car look better, but to also make future maintenance easy and painless.
