Hi all,

So wondered if any of you guys could help? I've recently bought a 2011 Cayenne which I was hoping to have the exterior detailed and protected before we're hit with (apparently) the worse winter ever! I've been trying to fit in research during my breaks at work and there seems to be a myriad of options eg waxing, sealants, max protect the list goes on! The most popular name i've come across is GTecqnic but I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice as to what i should go for? One guy was trying to sell me Max Protect, a Japanese sealant which is meant to be the dogs thingys..

The bodywork is in good nick, paintwork is a little rough in places but im hoping claying will sort this out? I was hoping to get the work done over no more than a 2 day period.

Also would be great if anyone could recommend a decent trustworthy detailer.

Thanks!

Basic process is critical if doing it yourself, mainly to avoid confusion. You don't need multiple versions of a products that does basically the same thing. You have mentioned three products already that are all sealants and only one would be required.

Hi Kevin,

Gtechniq is a very good option for long term protection, any Detailer worth their salt would want to inspect the car as it's highly likely that it'll need a degree of machine polishing before coating application - it's good practice for any coating to be put on paintwork which is in as defect free condition as possible.

cheers

Chris
