    Porsche Panamera GTS with heavy defects corrected and beautyfied

    Hi guys,


    Long time lurker here, thought I would share some of my work.

    I`ve been in the business for some years now, started detailing and prepping luxury yachts back in 2005, and started getting requests for work on cars shortly after that.

    Now onto the subject:



    The client bought the car used and it had seen a lot of tunnel-washes which is the common way to wash your car here in Denmark, where I`m located.

    After giving it a thorough prep wash and decon, the interior was dialled in and the leather surfaces were treated.

    It took several compounding hits to correct the rather hard paint on the Panamera, which is considerably harder than on e.g. most 911s. After correction the paint was polished with a yellow Rupes pad and Menzerna 3800 to enhance clarity and gloss.

    Both trim and paint was sealed with coatings afterwards, and engine and tires were treated with Sonax Plastic Care for a matte look.

    Tools used were mainly Rupes polishers, both DA and Rotary, Meguiar`s and Menzerna compounds and polishes and of course the Scangrip Detailing and Colourmatch lights.



    Process:

    Severe paint defects evident troughout. The door gives a good picture of the over-all condition of the paint before correction. The defects are lit up with a Scangrip Multimatch 2 on a Scangrip Tripod:




    Front door corrected, rear door still to be:



    Close-up on the rear door after correction. Still to be refined. The light is the Scangrip Multimatch 2:




    Bottom of the drivers door compared to the front wing. Light used is the Scangrip Sunmatch 2:




    The corrected hood compared to the front wing. Light used is the Scangrip Multimatch 2 on a Tripod:




    Heavy defects on the roof. Sandings marks, pigtails - you name it. Scangrip Multimatch 2 on Tripod used to show up the flaws:



    After correction:




    The finished article. Ready for the customer:







    The Achatgrau Metallic looks wonderful once corrected under the Scangrip ligthing. Multimatch 2 on Wheelstand lighting up the rear door on 50% output:




    Front wing after-shot:



    The hood under the Scangrip scrutiny:



    Piano black trim was polished out as well, so now looking black again:




    The Panamera in profile:




    Drivers door afterwards. Scangrip Multimatch 2 on Wheelstand used to light up the paint:




    Interior dialed in:




    And engine compartment as well:




    My client was extremely happy with the outcome.


    Many thanks for looking.


    Kind regards,

    Ebbe Jørgensen

    The pictures show up for me. The car looks like it just came off the assembly line.

    Thank you, the Achatgrau Metallic really suits the Panamera. It`s a very popular color around here for Porsches, I just did a Macan in the same color.
