No input on the Modesto product.

Do you feel the Gold package was worth it. If so I'll plan for that. I prefer that installer.

Really depends on price. I was quoted $2000 by one installer and $1500 by another. For $1500 it was worth it.

I see your in Pennsylvania, have you tried Oakes Detail? He’s exceptional in wrapping and detailing! I have used Modesta and refuse to ever use anything else! Clearly the best coating on the market right now!

Wrapping full front plus fenders, above the side inlets full rocker, under the doors, mirrors and under the rear fenders. Race wrap is what the call it I believe. Then full ceramic coat.
Then on the truck to Florida. It won't see another cold day.

Oh wow, nice! Not interested in doing full car if you plan on going that far? I sure the price would be the same, maybe a couple of dollars more? Nick has my Cayenne now and wrapping it and getting Modesta. He did my 911 Turbo two months ago and he wrapped the entire car and then coated it with Modesta. The job he has done has been amazing, truly amazing work and really hard to see any way there is a wrap on the vehicle. Good Luck in Florida, I love having a warm place to go to in the winter! I have a place in Miami. Enjoy!

I have 2 great detailers I trust for the paint correction, film and finish. Both shops do very high end cars much more expensive than mine. One uses Ceramic Pro exclusively and the other uses Modesta exclusively. I have no experience with either as I used a lite ceramic I did myself from Gyeon previously.
Both sound like good products with Modesta getting the nod for gloss. Looking for guidance from personal experience and any intimate details you can share as I know in the case of Modesta there are several different types of finishes.
Any real life experiences would be really be appreciated.
Thank you for taking care of that car!! Don't forget to wrap the headlights, too!

My goal is to make the car as perfect as possible for the next buyer . Isn't that the Porsche way?

I'm pretty sure you know how much I dig that car, so I approve of your approach...just in case.

Well, look at it this way...another rennlister will most likely but it and love and care for it as much as you did. We always tell our clients, you’re never the true owner of any car, rather, current caretaker. Enjoy the journey and process

Once I knew you liked it I stooped drinking coffee in it and started driving barefoot to preserve the carpeting. When you get it, it will be pristine.
