PROJECT DETAILS:


Premium Detail, Light Polish, Modesta BC-X, Windshield Protection + PPF APPLIED TO HEADLIGHTS & DOORHANDLES FOR IMPACT ZONE PROTECTION


Hey everyone! Today we have an extra-special project to share with all of you. We recently had the privilege of working on this 2025 Porsche 718 Boxter Spyder RS in Ruby Star Red, an absolutely gorgeous, deep magenta color. It's a stunning shade that isn't quite often seen out in the wild. This model came in near-pristine with a full-body paint protection film already applied, so it already had adequate protection. However, many owners believe that after this step, there’s nothing left to do. But to truly safeguard your vehicle, the film itself also needs protection. Standard PPF alone is still susceptible to dirt, UVA/UVB rays, brake dust, moisture, and other pesky factors—without a protective top coat, it will degrade faster over time.


At Superior Detailer, we do far more than merely "maintain" film. By polishing the PPF first, then applying a Modesta ceramic coating, we restore the film to its clearest state and lock it in with a protective layer that's engineered for long-term performance. This process dramatically reduces maintenance, improves appearance, and maximizes the life expectancy of the PPF you’ve already invested in.


In addition to these steps, we decided to kick it up a notch with some light detailing and added windshield and impact zone protection. What was already a head-turner is now even more refined and elevated, all with superior protection and durability.


Below is a summary of all services performed:



Preparation wash & WHEEL REMOVAL


First, we treated this Porsche to a double-bucket decontamination hand wash, designed to remove embedded dirt, oils, transport residue, and road contaminants. We then followed with a full clay bar treatment, ensuring the PPF surface was perfectly smooth, free of embedded particles, and ready for polishing. This step is essential to provide a squeaky-clean base for the steps that follow - remember, coatings are only as good as the foundation underneath!



We then removed all four wheels to access and completely detail the full wheel barrels, inner wheel wells, calipers, lug nuts, and suspension components. Every part was de-greased, scrubbed, and restored. We also dressed the suspension components to finish them off.



LIGHT POLISH


When customers bring in their vehicles with standard finishes and PPF already applied, we always emphasize the importance of refinement and maintaining that perfect, glossy exterior. An essential next step is polishing the existing PPF. For this car, we wanted to perfect what was already there and remove any potential minor damage to the surface. PPF can collect light swirls and haze with regular use, and over time can lose clarity. So, we went in with a light machine polish, specifically designed for film-safe enhancement and restoring transparency and gloss before going in with ceramic coating. Using a dual-action polisher and light-cut film-safe abrasives, we removed:


  • Minor surface scratches
  • Light marring
  • Residual stains
  • Dullness or cloudiness in the PPF


This guarantees the coating bonds to the cleanest, clearest surface possible.



Windshield protection film


While the body of the vehicle was already protected by full PPF, the windshield remained exposed and needed protection as well. It's an area that often experiences some of the harshest, most unavoidable impact while driving. To complete the vehicle’s exterior protection system from head to toe, we installed our preferred windshield protection film, a high-clarity, impact-resistant layer designed to shield the glass from road debris, micro-pitting, sand abrasion, and high-speed impact that can easily lead to chips or cracks. This film preserves visibility while significantly reducing long-term wear on the glass, especially in vehicles that see frequent highway driving or aggressive daily use. Although this service is priced separately and does not include a preparation wash, it is very much necessary. The result is a windshield built to withstand the elements—offering enhanced safety, improved durability, and a much longer lifespan than untreated glass.



MODESTA BC-X CERAMIC COATING




Paired with a good machine polish, a ceramic coating is another excellent add-on service to further elevate and protect your PPF. For this car, we applied Modesta BC-X, one of the most advanced auto ceramic coating options available—striking the ideal balance between durability, gloss, hydrophobic performance, and long-term resilience. In the above picture, you can see the ceramic coating being cured to the car via IR lamps. When applied over PPF, this product:


  • Protects the film from staining and aging from UVA/UVB rays
  • Provides extreme hydrophobicity for effortless cleaning
  • Enhances gloss, clarity, and vibrancy
  • Reduces oxidation and film discoloration
  • Extends the lifespan of the film dramatically


Keeping PPF clean is essential to its longevity, while adding BC-X ensures the film stays slick and self-cleaning for years.


PPF ADD-ONS: HEADLIGHTS & DOOR HANDLES



High-contact surfaces and areas that generate a lot of heat are often the first to show signs of wear and tear. To finish off this Porsche, we added PPF to the headlights and door handles, creating another layer of durability where it matters most. This application ensures that our client's headlights remain crystal clear and protected from UV fading, and the door handles—one of the highest-touch exterior areas—stay scratch-free. These small additions offer uniform protection across the entire exterior of the vehicle and end up making a big difference. We pride ourselves in perfecting the tiny details to ensure our clients receive a finished product that isn't standard, baseline, or incomplete - but is exceptional and well thought out.



THE FINAL RESULT


We were so excited to take on this project and are incredibly proud of the result. Just look at that gloss and depth of color! That rich berry shade is as elegant as it is bold.


THE BOTTOM LINE: WHAT YOU HAVE CAN BE MADE EVEN BETTER


If your vehicle already has a full body PPF wrap, you’re already ahead of the curve. But don't stop there! Good can always be better. All that to say, PPF needs protection too! And Modesta BC-X (or any Modesta coating for that matter) is one of the most effective ways to keep that film looking snazzy for years to come. By polishing the underlying PPF and pairing that with a ceramic or glass coating, we ensure your wrap looks better, lasts longer, and remains effortless to clean.


At Superior Detailer, we specialize in elevating what you already own. The right technique and the right products make all the difference between PPF that simply exists and PPF that performs. If you’re looking to maximize the look and longevity of your vehicle’s exterior—whether fully wrapped or not—we’re here to bring out its full potential with industry-leading film care, high-quality ceramic coatings, and expert installation.
