When some people buy a Porsche C4S, it never sees more than a few raindrops a year. This one however sees mountain passes, and even came in with snowtires installed. Pretty cool to see such a capable car being used for this. The best way to protect a vehicle like this is with Venture Shield. An 8 mill urethane film that protects from everyday rockchips and abrasions. Check out our custom installation.

At Metropolitan Detail we offer "Lifetime Free Film Wax", with a fully wrapped vehicle, this customer is going to take full advantage of this and have his car waxed regularly at no charge.

In these few first pics you will see we remove the roof rails, and the sunroof felt, this enables us to wrap the film inside the roof rails before they are reinstalled, and also into the sunroof, and the sunroof panel is wrapped seperately before reinstalling the sunroof felt. The rear bumper was removed to remove the bumperettes, as were the taillights, this enables us to wrap the film when installing film on the rear bumper.

 

As you can see here, more removal of parts was necessary for the perfect installation. The exterior door handle and mirror were removed so the film would lay flat, and also wrap into the door handle before reinstalling. We also removed the rear reflector so the film could wrap into the spoiler area, and under the rear reflector. The rear spoiler was also wrapped.

 

The finished product. You can see all parts have been reinstalled, and all film has been wrapped. Now just gotta wax the film and car will be finished. I will post pics of car after wax tomorrow.

 

Thats awesome. So now they won't complain about seeing lines in the wrap.

 

Thank you very much, it's not an easy task, but very rewarding when finished.

John, great work! Question. I am considering the matrix coating too. I would need my VS removed and re-applied for the portions of my car that I like coverage. Could you pm me with how much you would charge to remove, matrix, and re-apply (full hood, full fender, mirrors, rear wheel wells, illuminated door penels, under door handles, and I am probably forgetting a few other small pieces?). How long would you need my car?

Other question: I have had VS on my car for nearly exactly two years. I have a few pieces yellowing. Could some of these be replaced under warranty?

Last question: Why would you matrix a car if you put VS on the entire car?

Sorry to ask so many questions! Thanks so much.

 

Gorgeous work. Good to see someone take pride in their quality. I wish I'd had you guys wrap my C4S !

The cost of that has got to be getting close to the cost of just replacing the bumper and repainting the hood, though.

 

Greta, I think I can answer some of your questions. You should be able to get your yellowing pieces replaced under warranty.

John, I was under the impression that you couldn't matrix the paint sections covered by clear bra. At least that's what you told me when mine was being done.

 

That is correct, Matrix Micro Coatings is NOT on the film. We put a "secret" sealant on it, and I will let everyone know more about it soon. Works very very well.

Interesting, this is new. Do I even have any matrix coating under my film at all or is it just paint?

 

It goes about an inch under the film, but your hood is almost completely covered, as we started with a half hood kit, then we installed a full hood later. The Matrix Micro Coatings makes it difficult to install the film on top, as it is so hydrophobic the soap and water mixture used when installing the film just runs off the car.
