  • 2005 Porsche Carrera GT Detail + CQuartz FINEST + Expel - Presidential Detailing FL

    We recently had the opportunity to work on this very beautiful 05 Porsche Carrera GT. The car had clear film applied when it was new and it was beginning to show its age, so we were brought on to restore the cars finish back to BETTER than new. After carefully pulling all the old film off and removing any remaining residue, the car was then corrected and polished to perfection. The entire front 1/3 of the car, front air channels and rocker panels were wrapped in Expel Ultimate Paint Protection Film to ensure this Carrera GT stays in pristine condition. Once that was completed, we coated the entire car, including the film, with Cquartz Finest Ceramic Paint Coating for easier maintenance and to ensure the finish will be protected for years to come!











    Pre-Inspection


    If you look closely, you can see we were dealing with DA sanding marks on many parts of the car, which were probably left by the factory when the car was painted. These can be difficult to remove on their own, then throw in a full carbon body and you've added a whole new variable to the mix. Extreme care and caution must be taken while polishing carbon body panels to ensure you are not building up too much heat, otherwise irreversible damage can be caused to the paint finish.


























    Various machines, pads and polish combinations were used to determine the safest approach. We need to quickly cut away the defects while generating as little heat in the panel as possible.








    Watch in HD!



    After many hours of cautiously polishing every surface to perfection, the end result is much more depth and clarity to the paint finish. Even on silver, it was a night and day difference.





























    The tail lenses were also starting to show their age.






    We carefully polished each tail lense to restore the depth and vibrance. Something as simple as this, goes a long way in the overall look of the vehicle.

    Expel Ultimate Paint Protection Film


    Expel Ultimate Paint Protection Film was applied to the full front 1/2 of the car to protect against damage from rock chips, road debris, etc. We also top the film with Cquartz Finest for even further durability, protection, gloss and ease of maintenance. All edges of the vehicle are wrapped where possible, for an extremely stealth installation as well.













    CQuartz Finest Ceramic Paint Coating


    Multiple layers of Cquartz Finest were applied to all painted surfaces, as well as the clear film, for the ultimate protection package. Cquartz Finest is a semi-permanent ceramic coating that will protect your vehicles paint finish and add a tremendous amount of gloss and depth, with a guarantee to last at least 2 years.





























    Incredible amount of gloss from Cquartz Finest being shown here!

      Excellent work!

      What ended up being the winning combination to correct the paint?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
