Full TRANSFORMATIONAL SUITE OF DETAILING SERVICES - VINYL WRAP REMOVAL, LEVEL 3 Paint correction, PPF, Modesta Ceramic Coatings, + more!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today we're incredibly proud to unveil our July Detail of the Month - a comprehensive, no-compromise transformation of a timeless classic: this immaculate 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo. This particular vehicle came to our shop after spending over two years in storage - weathered, scratched, and long-overdue for expert care. However, our dedicated, longtime client entrusted us with a full restoration and protection project to breathe new life into his precious investment. No expense was spared and no detail was ignored! From beginning to end, every inch of this Porsche was meticulously reworked to both honor its legacy and elevate its commanding presence.
Here's an overview of what went into the process:
- Vinyl Wrap Removal
- Full Preparation Detail, including wheels & body
- Level 3 Paint Correction
- Full Custom PPF Installation tailored to the entire front
- Modesta Ceramic Coatings applied to the full body, wheels, & break calipers
- Carbon Seat Back PPF application
- Powder-Coated Wheels
- New Fog Lights & Painted Lower Rockers
VINYL WRAP REMOVAL
This Porsche arrived already wrapped, but the old vinyl film had bubbled, dulled, and degraded over time. We began by removing the material - a delicate process requiring heat, patience, and the right tools/products to prevent damage.
Once the wrap was finally off, the condition of the paint underneath was evident - being severely faded and scratched, bearing the full impact of time, storage conditions, and neglect. Though the damage was severe and would require painstaking correction, this car was not beyond saving. It just needed some tender loving care. Here at Superior Detailer, we're always up for a challenge as it helps refine our craft and expand our repertoire - and this project was no different!
Preparation DETAIL & LEVEL 3 PAINT CORRECTION
As you can see from the closeup above, this Porsche was covered in scratches, swirl marks, and other damage to the old paint - severely affecting the look and finish of the car. Before we began with a full paint correction, we began with a thorough decontamination and preparation wash, featuring warm deionized water and premium Aenso products. The vehicle received a foam cannon pre-soak, followed by a hand wash using Aenso shampoo. We also performed a full suspension and caliper detail, removing all four wheels to access, clean, and rejuvenate the wheel wells, arms, and springs—bringing everything back to a factory-fresh appearance. The engine bay and door jambs were also carefully cleaned. Below you can see a closer look at how dusty and grimy these parts were:
The exterior was then treated with a full decontamination process, including a clay bar treatment, to remove embedded contaminants and prepare the surface for further protection. A light interior detail was also included, featuring a gentle vacuum, crystal-clear windows, and a full interior wipe-down. Finally, the tires were dressed to restore a clean, finished look.
For paint blemishes and defects of this magnitude, we responded with our Level 3 Paint Correction - the most intensive multi-stage paint correction service we offer. This process goes far beyond a standard polish, and involves multiple cutting and refining steps to remove marring and damage, all while preserving as much of the original clear coat as possible.
Over the course of many hours and very close, careful inspection, the exterior was revived to a smooth, glossy finish free of imperfections. The transformation at this stage alone was already a vast improvement! Check out the before-and-after slide below to get a closer look at the difference in the finish!
Custom PPF Installation - FRONT TO END FORTIFICATION
With the paint restored, the next priority was preservation. We performed a custom paint protection film (PPF) installation across the vehicle’s entire front end, including the hood, front bumper, full fenders, headlights, and mirrors. This wasn’t an off-the-shelf install—we used a combination of custom-cut panels and precision trimming to ensure edge-to-edge coverage with virtually no visible seams. The PPF we selected, SunTek Reaction PPF, is a hydrophobic topcoat and protective car wrap that offers self-healing and scratch-resistant technology, high optical clarity, and excellent resistance to rock chips, insects, rain, tree sap, and other environmental fallout. It’s built to endure—and keep that restored finish looking flawless for years to come.
MODESTA CERAMIC COATINGS - ADVANCED SURFACE PROTECTION
With the protection in place, it was time to lock everything in with Modesta’s advanced coating technology. We applied a full system of Modesta ceramic coatings to the following areas:
- The paintwork
- All PPF-covered surfaces
- The wheels
- The brake calipers
Each component received a formula specifically designed for its material and use. For the body of the Turbo, we used the Modesta BC-08 Neosilica Matrix Coating, a zirconium-infused ceramic coating that creates glass-like shine, while its dimensional matrix ensures excellent water repellency and self cleaning.
While the wheels were still off from the wash and detail, we applied Modesta BC-06 Heat Resistant Hard Glass Coating for Wheels. a coating with a tight molecular structure that creates long-lasting protection resistant against heat of up to 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is especially efficient in protecting wheels from burning-hot brake dust. This product was then cured to the wheels via IR lamps. Check out the process below!
A final before-and-after shot of the wheels:
The purpose of these coatings are to provide industry-leading durability, and resist UVA/UVB damage, chemical staining, water spotting, and minor abrasions. The paint benefits from enhanced gloss and slickness, while the wheels and calipers are now protected against high-heat brake dust and road grime.
detailed ENHANCEMENTS - EVERY INCH REFINED
True detailing isn’t just about what you see at eye level. For this Porsche, we extended our craftsmanship into areas others often overlook:
- The carbon fiber seat backs were wrapped in PPF to prevent scratches—ensuring the glossy carbon weave stays pristine.
- The wheels were powder-coated for a fresh, high-durability finish that perfectly complemented the new exterior look.
- We painted and refinished the lower rockers, giving the side profile a cleaner, more cohesive appearance.
- The fog lights were replaced with new OEM units, restoring clarity and function to the front end.
THE FINISHED RESULT
This was more than a detail - it was a labor of love executed with passion, precision, and relentless attention to detail. The time and effort spent was truly worth it. This Porsche 911 Turbo arrived tired, worn, and hidden from the world beneath layers of neglect. After we were finished with it, this vehicle left protected and absolutely glowing - as it was meant to be. Now it is ready to be driven, admired by all, and cherished for years to come. See below for some final glamour shots of this beauty!
...but we're not quite finished! Next up, we have a bumperette delete and new front bumper installation scheduled, followed by fresh PPF to ensure every upgrade or add-on is thoroughly protected. Stay tuned for that next update, as there's more to come!
