Detailer's Domain wraps a new Porsche Cayman GT4 - Xpel

This is a car that we have been waiting to do for a little while now. We were lucky enough to get two in at the same time. What an amazing sight to see two in the shop. We attacked the Guards Red one first.

What a beauty.

Customer requested the dealer not touched the car, so we were lucky enough to receive a car with minimal paint issues. Lately we have been getting asked if we prep the car prior to clear filming, the answer would be yes. We typically will go thru a new car prep with each car that comes in for clear film. We remove all the factory packaging and make sure to remove all the left over adhesive and plastics off the car. After that is done we will decon the car with a fall out remover. Once that is done we will wash the car, which would include all door jambs, wheel wells, wheels, and tires will all get cleaned. Window stickers will be removed as well as any other decal or sticker. After all this is done if compounding or polishing is required we would move into this phase before the clear film goes on.

Here is a list of products used:

1Z einszett Cockpit
Leather Master Strong Cleaner
Leather Master Barrier
Sonax Alcantara/Upholstery Cleaner
Leather Master Nubuck Protectant
Nanolex Glass Cleaner

After the decon/fallout removal process we moved on to claying the car to ensure all debris is off the paint prior to wrapping it.
