We hope you enjoy our last video of 2023! In this video, we will be documenting the protection package we performed on this brand new FL5 Civic Type R, finished in a beautiful Sonic Gray Pearl.
The first step to any PPF or ceramic coating job is to eliminate any contaminants that may be bonded to the surface. Even though the car is brand new, it can still pick up contaminants, most commonly in the form of rail dust. We have done many Civic Type R's and they have all been very heavily contaminated. A lot of these cars sit in the rail yards for weeks on end, pretty much completely exposed to the elements. The metal dust particles bond themselves to the paint, leaving a rough and uneven surface. To ensure the best possible film install, we need to make sure all of this is completely removed. Even the tiniest dust particles can show up under the film. To make sure the surface is ready, we use a two part decontamination process, the initial step is via chemical during our wash process and the second is manually with a clay bar by hand.
Once the surface is perfectly clean and smooth, we can begin the process of applying the paint protection film to all of the desired surfaces. This CTR received our XPEL "Track Pack", which includes the entire front end of the car..full hood, bumper, front fenders, headlights, mirrors and side rockers. To help keep the side of the car and high impact areas looking great, we protected both the painted side rocker, gloss black side splitters, as well as an oversized door guard on the rear door. There is a smaller factory piece on the rear doors already, so we removed that and applied our own film for more coverage and a more seamless.
Once the paint protection film is applied to the desired areas, we can start the ceramic coating process. On this vehicle we used Gtechniq professional ceramic coatings. This includes Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, followed with EXOv5 on all of the exterior surfaces. We also applied a combination of these coatings on the door jambs, trunk plastics, engine cover, etc.
