Our Macan GTS has just returned following its second visit to our detailer and it's looking absolutely fab. [

The finished article During the darker days of our Covid winter I was beginning to think the Night Blue Metallic colour choice had been somewhat of a mistake - it was just a bit too sombre and was not very cheering. But now, as we move into sunny uplands of early spring with the sun glistening on the metal flake and the blue tint coming through, I'm really happy we chose it (smart and classy - just like its owner (not me BTW! []) and it's turning heads. At the end of last year, immediately following collection, my detailer had the car at his workshop for 3 days for a machine polish and ceramic coating. We'd also decided to PPF the front end - the first time I had ever had this. But Macan bonnets are notorious among the detailing world for being most difficult to wrap as there's a the huge expanse of panel and some tricky swage lines. The result to me looked perfectly fine, but my Man was not entirely happy and told me there were some new products coming through that would do a better job and he would like to have the car back to redo it later. So, a few weeks on and 2 more days at the workshops and here we are. In the end, he did the whole thing again, detailing the whole car inside and out and redoing the bonnet wrap and here's the result. We couldn't be happier.
In the workshop
The bonnet with integral wings is tricky Now complete, the car is all ready for some serious use iand we are already booked on two Macan Register trips, one this autumn and one next year. We're looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship with our new Macan GTS. Here's the rundown of what has been done:- Full wash and machine polish,XPEL Ultimate Plus Paint Protection Film,GTECHNIQ Halo over wrapped surfaces GTECHNIQ Crystal Light SerumEXO v4 ceramic coatings over painted surfaces. The bonnet is difficult and was eventually finished in EXPEL's new 72" wide film allowing a seamless finish without joins. The standard plotter pattern was edited to provide an additional 0.5mm overlap so that all edges could be wrapped and protected.The protection film comes with a certified 10 year manufacturer's guarantee. Regards, Clive
