Alfa Romeo Stelvia - SunTek PPF - Ceramic Pro

detailR

Well-Known Member
This Alfa Romeo Stelvio came in for some strong, long term paint protection.
The owner said he can do up to 500 miles each day so opted for SunTek Ultra paint protection film, and our Ceramic Pro 9H+ package.

The order of the detail.

Full Auto Finesse safe wash.
Decontamination processes - tar removal, iron fallout removal, clay bar and final IPA wipe down.
Enhancement Detail - single stage machine polish.
SunTek Ultra PPF - front bumper, front of bonnet (30''), wings, mirror covers, A-pillars and leading edge of roof.
Ceramic Pro 9H+ - 3 layers of Ceramic Pro 9H topped with 1 layer of Light.
Wheels Off - wheels removed, ceramic coated inside and out along with the brake calipers.
Interior freshened and all leather and textiles protected.
Exterior Glass coated with Ceramic Pro Rain.

Onto the car.

Wheels, tyres, arches and calipers cleaned first.
Followed by Iron Out to remove any embedded brake dust.

The car was then snow foamed, rinsed, re-foamed and all the tighter areas cleaned with boars hair brushes and rinsed again.

Then the 2 bucket method wash.

An IPA wipe down, mask off all the delicate trims and the car was ready for machine polishing.

The car is then panel wiped in preparation for the paint protection film to be applied.

The PPF is all applied in house, as a SunTek trained applicator, using pre-cut patterns where possible.
This means the car doesn't need to be driven anywhere and no knives and used near the paintwork.
