Porsche Panamera 4 e-hybrid

5-Year Ceramic Coating with EXO Top Coat

As with so many Porsche products this Panamera looks the absolute business with curves and subtle details at every turn. This car is beyond refined with high quality materials which make detailing this Panamera 4 a real treat. With optional extras oozing out of every inch it’s hard not to fall in love with this Porsche. It doesn’t shout about its impressive performance lurking underneath that glorious two-tone E-hybrid badge as it floats quietly towards you in electric mode… that is until you select sport, or loud mode. Which luckily, the owner treated us to on collection! Who would have thought a hybrid would sound so good. I mean, why are we surprised, it’s a Porsche and they know what they are doing when it comes to pleasing petrol heads.

Okay, so this is a serious piece of kit and the glorious black paintwork was letting the side down with underwhelming aesthetics. We were beyond excited for having the opportunity to restore this paintwork to its true glory.

This Panamera 4 was with JR Automotive for a two stage paint correction, followed by a coating of our 5-year durability ceramic and EXO top coat for extreme hydrophobic properties.

As with any ceramic coating package, we started with a snow foam pre-wash utilising a soft detailing brush to clear all the grills, cracks and crevices before a rinse. Using the two-bucket method we then contact washed the car before removing tar spots and then further decontaminating the paintwork with a clay bar treatment and fallout remover. Once rinsed, the Panamera moved inside to be dried with a super plush drying towel and the Big Boi blow drier.

Once thoroughly dried, we tape the sensitive areas around the painted surfaces to protect rubber and plastic trims. On this particular Porsche we carried out a two-stage polishing package. Utilising a more coarse polishing compound we removed the heavier scratches before following up with a lighter polish.
