The car looks factory-fresh now. And since the PPF is also hydrophobic, cleaning the car has become easier.

The Gloss Factor
I had planned to do the necessary protection work in terms of either ceramic coating or PPF or both as needed as soon as I got the car. I reached out to old-time friends & fellow BHPians Nikhil and Sunny for their inputs as I know Sunny has been doing some detailing work himself in recent times and I value his inputs on this matter.
After the conversation, I decided to go with a complete PPF install as that’ll offer the best protection against nicks and stone chips flying about during highway runs. Nikhil referred me to “The Gloss Factor”, run by another BHPian Prashant Sajiv.
I had a conversation with Prashant, and he came to inspect the car so that he could offer appropriate advice. He mentioned the car has been kept quite well and that barring a couple of stone chip marks on the bonnet, it is in fine condition. He also suggested to go with front windshield protection to help protect it from stone chips and scratches. Post that I dropped the car at his place – he’s moving his facility, so right now, working out of Next level detailing at HSR temporarily and he mentioned he’ll be moving to Koramangala soon. He’s another petrolhead himself, owning an E250 and a Porsche himself. And he keeps experimenting by wrapping the E250 in a matt black wrap and wrapping the Porsche in a matt finish PPF. Both look stealthy and understated. I was told it’ll take approx 4-5 working days to finish the complete installation and curing.
Prashant sent me pictures of the progress every day and kept me updated on the proceedings. I must say the workmanship is really good and I cannot see any bubbles or imperfections or tears in the installation so far. He called out that the area covering the parking sensors and front tow hook will be cleared of the PPF once I get the car for a review/checkup in about 2 weeks time. They had to remove the lights, door handles, bumpers etc., to ensure a clean install and it shows.
Some pictures to showcase the workmanship. Given it’s a white colour, the gloss doesn’t show off that easily, but in the low light conditions, you can see the finishing. The PPF is self-healing and is hydrophobic, so cleaning the car is now slightly easy. The car looks factory-fresh now. The front grill will get wrapped in black by the time I go for the checkup of the installation. I’m happy & satisfied with the installation and outcome. If you are looking for PPF/ceramic coating in Bangalore, do consider The Gloss Factor.
