Initial wheel cleaning using non-acidic wheel cleaner gel


Wheels further cleaned using a unique polishing soap


Wheels rinsed


Tailpipes cleaned using polishing soap




Initial wash using All-Natural Soap


Wash mitt rinsed after every panel. Assures no contamination put back into wash bucket




Exterior rinsed after every panel. Dirt encapsulated in soap suds, and quickly rinsed off


Exterior dried using microfiber drying towels and forced filtered air


Paint and glass surfaces decontaminated using clay






All surfaces were in pretty good shape


Initial clear film condition. This film was installed only a few months ago










Cut marks into plastic lens


Cut marks in mirrors


Light sanding and polishing slightly minimized cuts, but unfortunately, cuts are too deep and require repaint of both mirrors


Nearly four hours later, and all film removed. This 991 had a full hood, full fender, full bumper, headlights, and mirrors covered with film. We take our time and remove film slowly to minimize chance of paint lifting from panels. There is definitely an element of the unknown and each film we remove, we let client know of the risk of what may arise. In this case, the previous installation was simply unacceptable, and client was willing to take risk






What sets our application apart is attention to detail. Every panel that is to have film applied goes through a process of paint decontamination and paint correction. All imperfections such as debris, tar, tree sap, swirls, scratches, etc. are removed to best of our ability. We also touch up small rock chips as well. This assures us a pristine surface that is optically void of imperfections.






We use a unique technique of steaming the film to allow it to properly wrap around complex curves. This allows us to push the envelope and have few relief cuts as possible






Clear film installation complete

Fuel door wrapped and tucked around. Most installs only come to the edge of door leaving the film with exposed edge




Close up - top corner edge on hood and fender intersection


Film wrapped all around the mirror, instead of partial from previous install. Since Xpel Ultimate is so optically clear, the cut marks from previous install show through




Rear bumper tucked in properly. Tail light will later be polished to remove light scratches


Exterior taped up and ready for machine polishing


Some bird droppings etched certain areas on roof




Light sanding of paint




Sanding and polishing complete




A very deep scratch required light sanding as well


Compounding paint


Polishing paint


Complete


All Phase 3 services receive a light machine polishing to bring out the brilliance in the paint




A unique Nano paint sealant is applied to both paint and clear film surfaces. This product is a revolutionary carnauba wax infused with nano. Result is high gloss and depth while maintaining hyper durability


Wheels are cleaned and waxed


Tires are cleaned and conditioned


Exterior black trim cleaned and conditioned




Even inside the louvers




Tail pipes polished


We only use genuine Porsche replacement emblems


Porsche doesn't make it easy to replace these things. Each letter has to be placed back into correct spot. This is when attention to detail and experience comes in




Check to make sure all lights and markers function properly


After a proper vacuuming of interior, leather is cleaned using an All-Natural Leather Cleaner


Ready for leather conditioner


Leather conditioning in progress


Once conditioner is absorbed in leather, all that remains is a supple feel and a clean satin look




All plastic and vinyl surfaces cleaned and conditioned

Carpets cleaned


Glass surfaces cleaned using All-Natural Glass Cleaner


Door jams cleaned and waxed




Final touch. Only the top 5% of cars we're proud of ever get this label. It's our unique way that shows we're proud of the work we've done, and now the client is handed the torch and will be carrying forward the journey. Cars with this label are on a routine program and everyone is assured that proper care is of highest concern. What's really neat, is now dealers and fellow enthusiasts are seeing these labels around when our clients sell their cars. You know you're getting a pristine Porsche, Ferrari, Bentley, etc. when it has this exclusive GP label



5:30 AM...We delivered this 991 to our client at Cars and Coffee. She was joined by a 993 and 997.2 that day. It was a chilly 34 degrees; too cold for us SoCal folks

It is always a pleasure to see your work in progress. Something about the way you show attention to detail is just amazing. You are Good. Very Good. Not just in the way you take of the cars but also in the way you are making a business case for yourself both in posting here and in the GP mark. And I mean that with sincerity. All the best. Thanks again for posting.

Thank you for such kind words and I really am glad you enjoyed it. We really do love what we do and are very passionate about it. Glad it comes across in our pictorials.

Client came back a few weeks after the renewal service. Unfortunately, the areas on the roof that were sanded down, re-appeared. This was quite puzzling as the damaged clear coat was removed. It turns out, the acids in the pelican droppings were re-activated with moisture. This could have been done with the moist air, rain, or a simple wash.

We weighed our options:

1. Repaint: Several pros and cons, and a cost of around $1600
2. Sand the roof again and see what happens
3. Sand the roof and apply a temporary film piece to see what happens

Two weeks later, client reported back the stains have not reappeared on both sanded areas and sanded/temporary film applied area

Client ended up opting for option 3, temporary piece removed and custom piece applied, as this will protect the roof from future "accidents" by those pesky pelicans

Hard to believe six months have passed and this 991 is back for her renewal service. As you can see, with proper care, proper prep, these cars look amazing and a quality renewal service lasts the battering of mother nature.

Wow! You guys do fine work. I've never seen any better. I wish I lived in SoCal. Of course, I wished that before seeing your photos anyway. Seriously, very impressive. Thanks.
