Brand new off the lot! Was NOT prepped at the dealer. Was delivered ‘in the wrapper’. Was unwrapped immediately before delivery and just rinsed off. Paint is in excellent condition. A lot of interior/exterior/adhesive/etc to be removed from a new vehicle. Paint was SOFT.

The ‘details’:
Adam’s strip wash, tire/rubber cleaner/wheel cleaner.
McKee’s37 iron remover.
Fine clay mitt.
Master Blaster to dry.
DeFelsko PTG.
Scangrip lighting.
Flex machines. Rupes iBrid.
LC pads.
Griot’s correcting and perfecting creams.
Optimum panel wipe.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte.
22ple VM1 on wheels/calipers.
22ple glass coating.
Autofinesse glass cleaner.
Adam’s graphene tire dressing.
Metro vacuum.
Tarminator for any adhesive/tar.
McKee’s37 total interior detailer.
GYEON leather shield.
303 fabric protectant on the floor mats.

Thank you for looking!

Did the owner/leasee of this new Macan ask for this vehicle NOT to be dealer-prepped upon buyer/leasee pick-up with the knowledge that it would be detailed by you, OR were you instrumental in the owner/leasee making that decision??

Seems like a dumb question (DAH, Captain Obvious, coming from you...) but do you prefer to work on brand-new, un-prepped vehicles like this?
I ask because MOST new vehicles undergo SOME type dealer-prep and many Autopians and professional detailers are well aware of the "problems" associated with dealer-prepped vehicles.

How much McKee`s37 Tarminator did you go through and what areas of this particular vehicle had a lot of adhesive on it? I assume this is from assembly processes, seeing how modern, space-age adhesives are now the norm in securing materials and panels together in today`s vehicle assembly manufacturing. Were/are there any types of adhesives that present a problem or difficulty in removal?

Excellent detailing workmanship on this "Grey Ghost".

I do have to commend you on posting vehicle specs and such on these unique, high-performance vehicles. I say that because I no longer receive any printed car magazines, as most have gone to on-line digital formats out of economic necessity or ceased publication completely. I used to spend hundreds of dollars on such hard-copy glossy paper magazines subscriptions and that was my "other hobby" reading through the specs and reviews, and of course, looking at the photos. Not any more! I am quite new-car illiterate now, so your`s and Merlin`s posting and pics are some of the few opportunities I get to see such newer vehicles. Thanks for doing that!!!

Sometimes, as they are often times `easier` to correct, however it really doesn`t matter to me, I like `seeing` some results as I go!!

Were/are there any types of adhesives that present a problem or difficulty in removal? Not a lot. Just some on a MF. Exterior panels had some adhesive residue from the `wrapper` as well as the interior glass and some trim had some on it as well.

I still get printed magazines as I like them much better than online publications. I also prefer actual paper books when I have an opportunity to read one!

Thanks again, and I am happy that my posts receive such wonderful replies/comments/questions as well as keeping you `in the loop` on new vehicle specs!
