Nail it Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 My new car, traded the GTS in and took deleviery of this a few weeks back. Car has quite a few nice bits fitted to it ver standard and most you will see from the pics. Having the car detailed as it had a few blemish son the paint from Porsche, but that's all done now and the complete car has had paint ceramic protection before the film is going on, having the complete front done to back of wings, the sills and rear sides by vents and then the rear arches, using xpel film in different grades.

Hi, they are doing a great job on it and I am very picky if iam being honest, film is going on tomorrow and can't see that being a problem. they are in daventry so not far away at all and the price was very good as I got quotes from quite a few places to do the same work.

DJMC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I guess I'd want this one: http://www.deepimpactdetailing.com/#!new-car--protection-detail/cicx Given a weekend free, I'd have a go myself once I work out all the different things I need! Thing is, back in the 70's I won "Best Paint" at a custom car show and all I used was a bottle of carnauba polish, similar to Auto Glym SRP! Are we going a little OTT to give our babies the best nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail it Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I can polish, have all the gear etc, even wet flatted a complete car (escort cosworth) as did concourse and won many times wth it, but if you are having film fitted then you want the paint to be as good as it can be as you can't get to it once fitted, yes I could have done it myself but with the price I got for the complete job it wasn't worth me going at it really but if you have the time then why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMC Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) Ah... film too!! Must be costing a fortune. I guess you're thinking this will be a keeper? Oh... hang on... shouldn't you be joining the gang of workers here?: http://www.caymanoc.com/topic/189-detailing-pay-for-it-or-diy-where-how/?page=2#comment-1653 Edited February 9, 2016 by DJMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nail it Posted February 12, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2016 Film went on yesterday, just another layer of ceramic coating to go on and I can get it back even coated all the metal parts under the car and suspension etc so complete car has ceramic coatings on it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 12, 2016 Founder Share Posted February 12, 2016 That looks amazing! How far did you go with the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is "ceramic" about it? Is it made in the Potteries? What weight would "coating" a whole car add? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail it Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Right let me explain first the car got a new car detail to remove any defects from the paint, it had a few from sanding etc from Porsche then the car was coated in a ceramic clear coat that seals the paint and helps with scratches and cleaning then the film goes on, I have had the complete front end done to the windscreen, side skirts and air vents up to join and then some little bits behind the rear wheels on the rear bumper then the car gets ceramic coated again including the film l have also had the underside metals, suspension etc ceramic coated (different stuff to the paint) to protect them and keep them looking like new also in the price they ceramic coated my brake calipers and wheels and also the complete inside from front boot to back so as you can see just about the complete car has been sorted and it's looking fantastic and will stay looking good for years to come plus it will be easy to clean, well worth getting done and would recommend these guys if you want it doing, as the price was very good plus they have gone the extra mile on my car and nothing has been to much or a problem for them and I am a very fussy guy cheers dunc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail it Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Extra weight then not a lot if anything, as having your phone in the car would weigh much more than all this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMC Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the explanation. Is "ceramic" just a name for the coating or is there actually an ingredient which is somehow ceramic? Edited February 12, 2016 by DJMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Beanoir™ Posted February 14, 2016 Founder Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm thinking of the ceramic coating for my car, which one do they use? Is it G-techniq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
