Default 17' Porsche Panamera Turbo Xpel clear bra install @ Shine Auto

The new Panamera's have been trickling into a few dealerships around Atlanta. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on one fairly quickly! Our customer wanted to protect his investment by choosing to do a full front end coverage with Xpel Ultimate self healing paint protection film. The full front end includes; full hood, full fenders, side mirrors and the front bumper. With all of the construction going on around Metro Atlanta it was a very wise decision to make! We tell all of our customers clear bra is essentially a small insurance investment that will most likely stay on the car well past your time of ownership with it. Please check out some images of the install and after images of this new 2017 Porsche Panamera Turbo!

Each vehicle is properly prepped before the installation begins. First, we have a dedicated area for the installation process to help control the environment around the vehicle. This minimizes the chance of debris getting onto the film or paints surface during the application process. Each panel is cleaned with alcohol and squeegee'd thoroughly to remove any contaminants or residue that may be on the paint surface. Some of our customers choose to have their paint polished to get rid of any nasty swirls/scratches that may be on the paint.



The front bumper installation is one of the most tedious parts for the Porsche vehicles. There are so many aspects that need to be aligned properly. We use a special gel and soap mixture to allow us to move the Xpel film around until it is properly aligned. Once it is aligned, we then squeegee out the liquid so the film will adhere to the paints surface.





One of the first things we noticed about the new Panamera, aside from the gorgeous Volcano Grey Metallic, was the GIGANTIC carbon ceramic rotors and brake calipers!















Aside from the exterior images, we decided to grab a few interior shots for everyone that hasn't been able to check out one of these in person yet. Enjoy!

Thank you for the kind words!
I had to do a double take the first time I saw them. We have a joke going on that the brakes have more pistons than the engine haha!
