Someone recently recommended a quality touch up product whose name I've already forgotten. Can someone repost that please?
Is Paint Protection Film a Must for a New 2022 Macan?
FYI I negotiated with the dealer their Swiss wax finish which would have cost £600. I know it won't be as good as a detailer and is probably trowelled on round the back of the wash bay but I'll have a good look at it. Apparently it gets a second coat included after a year.
Might be worth trying to negotiate as it's an easier figure for the SE to lose than any 'discount'!!!

I don't think any dealer-applied treatment is worth the money - and certainly not worth £600! They're unlikely to do a good job.Nelladrahcir wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 2:02 pm FYI I negotiated with the dealer their Swiss wax finish which would have cost £600.

Possibly because the SE gets commission on selling it.Nelladrahcir wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 3:38 pm They added Swiss wax with a couple of other bits in lieu of any discount.

One of the joys of white, it matches the undercoat so chips dont show. After 25k miles I have a rash of tiny (invisible from 10 or so yards) chips on my bonnet, which only show because the white under layer highlights them. Following advice from my detailer (started as a body shop paint sprayer) I've got some touch up paint and will use the smallest of a nail art dotting pen set to apply it. Worst case? Bonnet respray the only alternative other than "doing nothing".jonnydrama wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 9:24 am Took my last Macan over 70k and it was white so you should notice every scratch/blemish, the skirts are probably the only bit I'd protect if I could do it again but really they weren't bad at all.
Next time, for a "keeper" PPF will be a serious consideration, especially for those little country lanes that I love with their brambles and oncoming traffic, which I hate!

I met in the middle and did some tactical PPF plus detail.
Mirrors, bonnet, boot sill, gloss black on the pillars, handles including inside the grab for scratches off rings etc amongst some other parts.
I’ll be doing the same again when my gen3 arrives.
