Thanks! He was definitely happy!! It's a tough situation. The dealership can fix some of this stuff. But a lot of it we don't want them to fix. Because there method of fixing it will be wrong but probably fast. That's assuming the guy they have fix it even knows how to fix half the issues without damaging the car in the process. The customer wanted it this way so I could fix it. It wasn't unfortunate situation where the car was sitting so much that a lot of the stuff ended up being worse than it should have been because of the sitting. "COVID cars" for some reason the supplied chain was weird and these cars sat a lot and that's just been normal. But t many of the other problems Obviously happened during manufacturing and are much harder to explain.

Your content presents an entirely different narrative that all most Porsches you see are terrible and require correction which is clearly not the case at all.

Awesome work and presentation, once more! When these cars sit in the holding yards it is disastrous. My TLX Type-S sunroof seals were absolutely disgusting mudded up including the railing. As for the delivery wrap markings, that's due to the fact that it's applied too soon after the paint curing and de-oxygenated. Your detailing care essentially re-oxygenates the paint/clear coat and allows for these lines to disappear. Being closely in-tune with Porsche import, usually one of the inbound Customs POE is Houston and if it sat in Houston, it is possible that it got some drenched Gulf storms, which means sand within droplets. However, the Porsche Lot Techs are not always (aka: NEVER) to be trusted because they bare minimum "detailing" materials from management and cannot be trusted to provide top notch results... unfortunate but the reality. I tell my customers to refuse ANY dealership "detailing" and get over the "grand reveal" and come straight to me. Usually, I try to get cars within hours from coming off the delivery trucks (often handled by Russian truckers who are more often than none careless).

@STATUSDETAIL

Hello John Great question. We typically wrap all edge's that can be reasonably wrapped.so the hood for example is fully wrapped. But on the Touring for example where the bumper and fenders meet you would have a PPF edge that's unwrapped. Hypothetically you can remove the bumper and wrap that edge fully. The issue with this is the film will now rub against itself with subtle driving vibrations and end up pushing it self out of that jam and eventually look really horrible. The back of the fender by the door can often be tucked behind into the fender/door jam as well. This attention to detail adds surprisingly lots of labor. Because you need to come back multiple times to ensure it's sticking on the back side of panel. Typically it's heated a few times to ensure durability. So be prepared for a longer overall install process and typically slightly more expensive job. In most cases I'd say either way is equally durable as long as it's done with precision and care. But I'd never recommend the tuck like the fender bumper example.

Very nice job. Amazing car.

The GT3 Touring is currently very rare and a speculation itm. I don´t know who had this car before and treated it in this way, but it was not Porsche or a regular Porsche dealer. This is what you get when you don´t by your car directly at Porsche.

Very sad to pay that kind of money and get the car in that condition. And it doesn't end there, ask anybody who worked on or is familiar with a dealership and these cars get joy rided all the time, driven very hard without the knowledge of the owner while being "tested" after a service or repair, and the list goes on and on (this is not just Porsche ofc). Most likely if you have the money for this car you can just say whatever and turn a blind eye but still shouldn't be like that.

The level of detail is amazing! Do you use anything special to remove the dust from the car before PPF? Or do you just go over the car with a clean microfiber towel?

@STATUSDETAIL

Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I try to go above and beyond!! That's a great question. first I'll use my blow dryer to blow everything out. Let everything settle for a minute. Then Typically I use gyeon prep. It's a alcohol based product that is kind of like washing your hands before surgery. Gets everything clean and safe for the real work to be done. The real work being PPF or ceramic. If I have to compound a lot and make a crazy dust mess I'll often foam and rinse and blow dry then use prep.

You mentioned you had to buff the wheel arch several times, would that not have long term implications for the clearcoat in that area? I often see cars where the clearcoat has broken down on a panel which had been over buffed by a panel shop probably trying to put more shine on a panel adjacent to one freshly painted.

@STATUSDETAIL

Жыл бұрын

Anytime you polish a car you are removing clearcoat. How much you remove is going to be determined by the process and the person doing that process. What you are referencing is typically when an unskilled body shop person uses a rotary buffing with hard hitting compound in one spot for too long and they burn through the clear and you get a dull spot. A brand new car with a good process and some common sense It's incredibly difficult to burn through clear coat. What we did to this car left more than enough paint for years and years and years. But if an inexperienced person polishes this car or compounds this car and with the wrong products every year as part of a maintenance for example to make it more shiny than yes of course it's very possible that they burn through the clear coat in a matter of years. You just need to know the limitations of paint and you need to know when to not try and correct something or to stop chasing something that you're actively trying to fix. The use of paint depth gauges is also very helpful but those don't always tell you thr full picture. They tell you the depth of clear. Paint. Base coat primer. It'll also read things like Bondo and can be easy to spot a painted panel but that's a different story. The point is a paint depth guage doesn't read clear coat it reads everything. It's up to detailer to decipher how much of that number is clear coat and how much you have to work with. In my personal opinion on a brand new car a paint depth gauge doesn't tell you much because you know it's brand new paint and you know there's a decent amount no matter what I do it's going to read total depth. It's more helpful when your detailing a 25-year-old car and now we can kind of guesstimate how many times the car's been polished or compounded and then take a fraction of that number and say that much is clear.

I definitely have this video in the works! If you check out my channel and look at the Lamborghini countach video you will see basically all the steps. The leatherque process is not needed on a new car. But the steps that come before that you could do on your car for sure. But like I said I do have a video coming on interior cleaning. I always show it in my videos but I've never done like a step-by-step video. They actually filmed the video already that's awaiting editing on interior cleaning but that's more of like a light fast dusting cleaning type situation. I also want to make a video that's a more in-depth leather cleaning video

That's unfortunate but I have heard stories like this a lot. For future reference do remember if it's just like swirl marks type scratches then just have them pay for your detail. Honestly that's a great way to get correction for free lol. If it was a legit nasty scratch or down to metal then I understand completely. Would suck to have a repainted panel.
