Introduction:
We are thrilled to present a brand-new Gentian Blue Porsche GT4, recently collected by our valued customer from Porsche Centre Bristol. To ensure optimal protection and maintain the pristine appearance of this exquisite sports car, the customer chose a comprehensive paint protection solution. Our team applied full coverage XPEL Paint Protection Film, along with Gtechniq Ceramic Coating for the car's body, wheels, and brake callipers.
In this case study, we will explore the benefits of paint protection film, the process involved, and the added advantages of ceramic coating, delivering unparalleled protection and long-lasting beauty for this Porsche GT4.
Car Paint Protection Film - Explained:
Paint protection film is an invisible layer of protection that safeguards your car's paintwork. It can be applied to specific areas, such as the bonnet, front wings, and wing mirrors, or cover the entire vehicle. XPEL Paint Protection Film not only shields the paint from common hazards but also possesses self-healing properties.
When exposed to warmth, like the sun or a hairdryer, the film's self-healing feature ensures it recovers from minor scratches, restoring an optically clear and flawlessly smooth gloss finish. This remarkable film defends against swirls, surface damage, chips, scratches, acid rain, UV exposure, bird droppings, and other environmental elements, while preserving the pristine condition and residual value of the car. Furthermore, all our XPEL PPF work is backed by a 10-year guarantee.
Gtechniq Ceramic Coating and Its Benefits:
In addition to the comprehensive paint protection film, the customer opted for Gtechniq Ceramic Coating to enhance the durability and gloss of the Porsche GT4. Ceramic coating forms a protective layer over the paintwork, guarding against UV rays, dirt, and grime.
The coating's hydrophobic properties repel water, making cleaning the car easier and ensuring a high-gloss, long-lasting finish. By combining paint protection film with ceramic coating, the customer enjoys an additional layer of defence against acidic contaminants, along with the added benefits of quicker cleaning and exceptional water beading effect.

Wash, Clean & Inspect: The Porsche GT4 undergoes a thorough cleaning process using specially formulated agents to eliminate contaminants from the surface. The car is dried using a touchless air dryer to prevent scratches or swirl marks.
Remove Swirl Marks: If there are any minor scratches or swirl marks, our team performs paint correction to ensure a smooth surface before applying the paint protection film.
