This brand new Porsche Panamera arrived with us straight from the dealership—but unfortunately, far from the condition you’d expect. Despite being “new,” the paintwork had clearly suffered from poor handling and preparation, showing visible swirl marks, light scratches, and general dullness across multiple panels. We carried out a full front end PPF installation, preceded by a detailed paint correction process to restore the finish, followed by a ceramic coating to lock in the gloss and make future maintenance effortless.
Initial Inspection & Assessment
On arrival, the vehicle underwent a full inspection under specialist lighting. Like many dealership-prepared cars, the paintwork showed heavy swirl marks and poor finishing—particularly noticeable on darker panels.
Paint Correction
Before any protection could be applied, we carried out a multi-stage paint correction process to remove:
Swirl marks from improper washing Light scratches and handling marks Holograms left from poor machine polishing
This restored the depth, clarity, and gloss expected from a car of this calibre.
Full Front End PPF Installation
Once corrected, we installed high-performance PPF to the full front end, covering the most vulnerable areas:
Front bumper Bonnet Front wings Headlights and high-impact zones
Key techniques included:
Bulk fitting to reduce joins and maximise coverage Precision edge wrapping for a seamless finish Panel alignment and tension control to ensure perfect clarity
Ceramic Coating Application
To complete the package, we applied a professional-grade ceramic coating over the protected areas, enhancing gloss, improving hydrophobic properties, and making the vehicle significantly easier to maintain.

The owner was understandably frustrated—taking delivery of a brand new Porsche should be an exciting experience, not one overshadowed by poor paint condition.
Seeing the car transformed back to a true factory-quality finish brought immediate relief. The gloss, clarity, and overall presentation were finally what you’d expect from a premium vehicle.
More importantly, they left with complete peace of mind.
This job highlights a reality many owners aren’t aware of—“new” doesn’t always mean perfect. Dealership handling, transport, and preparation often introduce defects before you even drive the car.
That’s exactly why PPF is so important on high-value vehicles like the Porsche Panamera:
It protects the most vulnerable areas from day one Prevents stone chips and long-term damage Preserves the corrected finish we’ve restored Maintains the car’s value and appearance
