Street Dreams Detail - Porsche Panamera S

[dsms]

Panamera in for a winter preparation detail, exterior only



This is a quick write up, limited time to work on the car so only the basic pictures were taken before and after







Sonax FE on the wheels, sprayed on dry, left for 10 minutes and then rinsed off with a pressure washer. During the pre-foam later I went over the wheels quickly with an EZ detail brush for the inner barrels and a boars hair + swissvax brush for the face just to agitate any left over brake dust to make sure they were squeaky clean. Sonax and a pressure washer got them to about 95% without any agitation, this still amazes me



Tires scrubbed clean with OPC 3:1 same as the wheel wells. I use another EZ brush for the wheel wells











Body was rinsed at high pressure and then foamed using a mixture of citrus shampoo and OPC, foam was left to dwell for a few minutes while I re-tidied up the wheels using the foam itself and then the whole car was rinsed again before the 2 bucket wash. Citrus soap was used here to aid in removing any prior wax or sealant, the car was beading from the initial rinse. After the foam and wash Iron Cut was used to decontaminate the finish, after this step there was no need to clay the car as it was already "silky smooth" :afro:







Light dirt and debris dripping to the ground, this is why we use foam cannons in the first place







Process for rest of detail:



Paint gently polished using Werkstat prime acrylic, excellent for metallic silvers and whites

IPA wipe down

Wolfs Body Wrap applied to paint, wheels doorjambs

All trim dressed with Wolfs Trim Guard

Exhaust polished using Blackfire heavy cut metal compound and then fine cut metal polish

Tires dressed uisng Einzett Vinyl and Rubber, yes it works great on tires as well

All the best,

Nice work, looks great. I have seen where a few people have used the Wolfs Body Wrap, I guess its not as popular here in the US. What kind of durability have you seen with this product?
