Long time client picked this up for his new daily driver and had me out to do the new car prep on it, get it ready for clear film, and then detail post clear film install. So this writeup will be spanning 2 days about a week apart. Paint had its share of dealer-installed swirls and buffer trails to be eliminated, but overall was not in bad shape.




Upon arrival

Areas that would be covered in paint protection film by Premier were fully corrected. Remaining areas would be handled after it returned.

The extremely soft black spoiler corrected perfectly, done with great care and finesse.

At this point the car was going to Premier Films to get the entire front end wrapped, mirrors, lower doors, rear spoiler, rear bumper, and a few other bits and pieces. Upon returning after the film had set up, the car got its bath to get it ready for the detail.

Final pictures were after the sun set, so just reflection shots. But previous sun pictures show the correction achieved.
