If you take it to your local car wash, don’t bother with the treatment,save yourself about £600ish. PPF Iis a kind of film coating that can be fitted to your car usually on the front but can go anywhere , it’s good for preventing stone chips etc. :D
I had PPF on the Aston, on the nose and wheel arches. Its pretty good but you need to make sure the paint is really clean underneath it before its fitted.
Do OPCs fit this stuff as well?
Probably not,it’s a specialist job,if I was having it fitted I wouldn’t let my OPC anywhere near! :D

i don’t think so. Aston ‘“had it fitted” but it was a private company that did it

When GTechniq was offered by the OPC I went to there is also an option for PPF but this is outsourced. They said they send the vehicles to reepmidlands to do the paint correction before PPF. Expect an extra week for this before handover

I’m having PPF on mine on Monday. I’ll post up some pics when done and give my honest opinion of what I think. Although the benefit really is a couple of years down the line when you shouldn’t have any stone chips.

If I’m the lazy bastard sort who doesn’t wash their Macan often and takes it to the local hand wash (£10 round my way) is there any point getting gtechniq treatment? My new Macan arrives shortly and I’m trying to decide whether to get it gtechniq’d, or should I get something else. What is PPF, or ceramic detailing?

Supposedly the local OPC do not do it in-house but give it to a professional retailer.

Surely having the ceramic on will go some way to prevent the paint getting damaged by the cowboy car washers !!

Just the front end so full bonnet, bumper, front wings, a pillars, wing mirrors and apparently the first foot of the roof.

No is the simple answer .Ceramic coating won’t stop your local car washer with a sponge from swirling the paint.

Easier solution to that particular issue is wash it yourself.
