Default Paint correction and ceramic coat

Finally tackled paint correction and ceramic coating on my 2015 991.1. The detailer spent 16 hours on it. Lots of swirls and various other small damage accumulated over the years. Also took off the wheels and did the barrels and outside. Glass as well.

Default What brand did you go with?

Looks really good. You'll be happier with it done.

Did my Night Blue Targa 4S. Wonder which brands you went with? Thanks for sharing.

Looks great! It's the first thing I do to every car I own, it's well worth it. Factory paint has so many defects it's sad.

I am having mine done soon. Issue is it looks so good you don’t want to drive it. You just want to look at it. Enjoy

He used CQ.UK 3.0. Two coats. Paint correction process: wash and strip, de-iron, clay bar, compound with rotary, polish with rotary, wipe down with alcohol, two coats ceramic. Then he will put on a top coat.

Car looks great !

My '19 GTS is going in tomorrow for full correction. Wheels off, coating all the paint, wheels and brake calipers with CQuatrz Finest Reserve, using DLUX on the black plastic.

This will be my 8th vehicle done like kpthis in the last 5 years. Makes it so much easier to clean on the regular.

Looking perfect pretty much. Props to the detailer!

That darker semi-matte finish on the rims is the perfect candidate for ceramics imo, ads a bit of shine on it and takes it to another level.

He does nice work. I have a side business doing the same and it is good to see other paint correction guys spend a lot of time and get it right. I use CarPro also it is easy to apply and remove. Enjoy it looks great!

I did the color correction with CeramicPro Gold on the 911 and the same except GTechique on the Macan. Both have PPF on the front and other high impact areas.

It seems the GTechnique repels water a bit better, but the Ceramic Pro has a higher gloss finish. It could just be the color of the car (Guards Red vs Mahogany Metallic). Cost was the same for both.

NICE!!! I'm taking my car in soon for the same. I love a super clean and shiny car. Not a fan at all of the recent trend by some for flat paint. Mine is DBM, so very similar to your black one in terms of maintenance.

Yes after correction and before Ceramic Pro is a great time to add PPF.
