Just got my 2015 and it had 8K on the clock and the paint was not properly cared for. Did a full paint correction to remove swirls.
Used a porter cable polisher and polish and then wax.

 

Nice job ! I have the same polisher PC 7424 and it works great as you know. My Pan is black so I'm always thinking about maintaining the surface. 2 bucket wash method, foam gun and air dry only.

 

Very nice, indeed!

 

Well done, any details on the products you used? I have the same PC, and have used Menzerna in the past...haven't had the opportunity to fully dive into the Panamera as I'd like, but interested in the products you used.

I'm no autogeek although not as much as I probably should be...sigh

 

two products, Pinnicle and reflects fine polish. Orange and then white pad. Followed up by a synthetic wax.
I should have went with something a little stronger and cut a little more but I used what I had in my stock. Menzera any good on dark colors and do you polish after that or is it a one step?
BTW Autogeek is where I ordered everything from.

 

Thanks for sharing! I have a black so this will come handy!

 

AutoGeek and Chemical Guys both have great videos on products, techniques, etc. Mike Phillips at AutoGeek has an instructional video on the proper removal of swirls and spiderwebs. Geek and Chemical Guys have a Porter Cable 7424 video, which pads to use and the products. Check them out. Good information.

 

I was a regular on those forums for a while when I started detailing, Good stuff though...Menzera works well on dark colors and I usually do the Intense Polish and the Final Polish. It does dust though, like crazy. I'll check out Pinnicle. I use Poorboy's Carnuba wax/sealant on top. I've even used http://www.autopia-carcare.com/cquar...l#.V03535MrJTa afterwards to seal it in (on my wife's Range) It HELPS tremendously but requires the car be moisture free for at least 3 days to do it all properly.

Agreed!

 

Try quartz coating from Gyeon: http://www.gyeonquartz.com/

My buddy recently told me about it and he LOVES this stuff - said it keeps the car looking amazing even after 1-2 weeks without washing.

 

I have used Cquarts... thought it was pretty good. Got to get the paint perfect first because you are sealing it , at least for a while.

 

Great looking finish. I wonder how long I should wait to do mine. Delivered 4/1/16.

 

Don't wait. Do it now. When I took delivery of my car I did the clay bar treatment, a light polish, then sealed and waxed it. Been so easy to maintain since then.

 

Gorgeous - good work!
