Default 2012 Porsche Panamera GTS new car prep / water spot and swirl removal detail

Long time client picked this up for his new daily driver and had me out to do the new car prep on it, get it ready for clear film, and then detail post clear film install. So this writeup will be spanning 2 days about a week apart. Paint had its share of dealer-installed swirls and buffer trails to be eliminated, but overall was not in bad shape.




Upon arrival











Light buffer trails can be seen



































Waterspots....




Waterspots removed






Some defects under LED






Right side corrected, left side not corrected yet, you can see the clarity difference in the light







Areas that would be covered in paint protection film by Premier were fully corrected. Remaining areas would be handled after it returned.












The "multi-sun" shot

The extremely soft black spoiler corrected perfectly, done with great care and finesse.













At this point the car was going to Premier Films to get the entire front end wrapped, mirrors, lower doors, rear spoiler, rear bumper, and a few other bits and pieces. Upon returning after the film had set up, the car got its bath to get it ready for the detail.









After all correction was finished and before applying wax....






















And with the last little bit of remaining cloud-covered sun









Final pictures were after the sun set, so just reflection shots. But previous sun pictures show the correction achieved.









GLOSSY!












Thanks for checking it out!

Looking real good! Those things have grown on me but I still think there are too many buttons on the console.
